MONACO, Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Max Biaggi and the Voxan electric motorbike brand set 21 world speed records at

the Space Florida track at the Kennedy Space Center (United States). These

performances took place between 18 and 23 November 2021.

The most coveted world record in the programme was broken on Monday 22

November. With 455.737 km/h (283.182 mph), Max Biaggi and the Voxan Wattman

have set the prestigious world speed record in the partially-streamlined

electric motorbike under 300 kilos category.

In compliance with FIM (International Motorcyclist Federation) regulations, the

speed of the Voxan Wattman was measured, after a rolling start, over 1 km

outbound and 1 km return in a time span of less than 2 hours. In keeping with

Federation rules, the average of the 2 speeds was retained.

The Wattman's GPS speedometer went up to 470.257 km/h (292.204 mph) in

instantaneous speed. The Voxan’s grey coat, designed by Sacha Lakic, drove the

timing cells crazy.    

On Sunday 21 November, the Voxan Wattman undertook the non-streamlined version

of the event, similarly over a distance of 1km with a rolling start. Same

principle: 1 km outbound, then 1 km return in a time span of less than 2 hours.

Once again, the average of the 2 speeds was retained. The new world record for

the non-streamlined electric motorbike under 300 kilos category is now 369.626

km/h (229.675 mph).  

A further 19 records were set in the categories: under 300 kilos, over 300

kilos, non-streamlined, partially-streamlined, 1 mile, 1 km and ¼ mile,

standing start and rolling start.
