In its first weekend of real competitive racing, the Honda CR Electric Proto took a second-place finish, and nearly scored its first victory
Honda is working on an all electric dirt bike, and last weekend it competed in its first official event in the premier IA1 motocross class. Piloted by test rider and Honda advisor Trey Canard, the prototype motorcycle impressed with race-leading pace in its inaugural competition weekend. The CR Electric Proto was entered as a wildcard competitor in round eight of the All Japan Motocross Championship. Competing against 450cc internal combustion engine machinery, the bike looked fast all weekend.
7 seconds off the fastest lap of the session, and finished a creditable second. In the following races, Canard mostly found misfortune, crashing out of contention in both sessions. However, he was able to jump out of the gates and into first place in the third race of the weekend, and was expanding his lead before a crash left him uncompetitive. We had some shines of brilliance as a team, the starts being one of them, with two of the three holeshots, said Canard.
