The new Saroléa is an evolution of the 2014 model and has been modified and enhanced on a number of levels. The Belgian team is now targeting a podium place at this year’s SES TT Zero Race on the Isle of Man. The talented Scottish rider Robert Wilson, who flew over for the presentation, will once again ride the Saroléa SP7. Team Saroléa are using the data obtained during last year’s race and testing to optimize and improve its motorcycle. The new design has improved aerodynamics, which will provide higher top speeds. The motorcycle is considerably slimmer which also enhances the position for the rider. Modifications to shift the center of gravity will also increase the bikes handling. Saroléa has also managed to reduce the bike’s weight. The modifications are mainly related to the use of more Carbon Fiber and more Titanium parts as well as the use of 3D printed parts. A proprietary Vehicle Control Unit and Battery Management System have been implemented. All communication is now flowing through fiber optics. The biggest improvement however is the new motor. It has been entirely developed in house and it has a major increase in torque. Early tests by Saroléa are demonstrating a 50% increase. With the launch of the new SP7, it is clear Saroléa wants to become one of the major brands on the electric motorcycle racing scene. Saroléa is using the extreme racing conditions presented by the TT Mountain Course as a research and development platform for its propriety Saroléa Electric Drivetrain.

The new machine is an evolution of the 2014 bike and has been upgraded and enhanced in a number of different ways to try and make it onto the podium in the SES TT Zero Challenge Race at the Isle of Man TT. Scottish rider, Robert Wilson, will once again be riding for the team on-board the new SP7 bike. Wilson managed to finish last year’s race in 4th position, reaching a top speed of 93.507mph. The 2015 bike is lighter than last year’s machine, weighing in at just 190kg, due to the use of more carbon fibre and titanium parts. The lightness of the bike, along with the improved aerodynamics and slimmer design, means that it can now go from 0-60mph in 2.8seconds and has a top speed of 168mph. The new motor has been developed entirely in-house and early tests untaken by Sarolea have shown that torque has increased by around 50%. A proprietary Vehicle Control Unit and Battery Management System have been implemented, with all communication now flowing through fibre optics. Sarolea are hoping to gain plenty of research and development from competing on the tricky Mountain Course at the TT to go towards its propriety Saroléa Electric Drivetrain. The 2015 SES TT Zero Challenge Race takes place on Wednesday June 10, at 10:45am.
