Strange as it may seem to you, the electric eSolex holds the world speed record in its class which it achieved last year at the Bonneville Salt Flats in the USA.

Creating playgrounds for use by children with mobility problems and ensuring their access to all municipal structures and schools, in the hands of four French motorcyclists (by Gilles Pujol, Franck Figuls, Yann Bruneau και Jean Caillou), the small electric bike from Solex, developed average hourly speed 32 km / h (!) and won the world record in his category.

How did this happen?, you will tell us. The reason this was possible is simple and easily explains how such a slow two-wheeler is included among the fastest motorcycles in the world. Very simply, this was the first time a speed record was attempted, at the famous Bonneville Speedway, with a mass-produced electric bike that has not received any conversion at all! Before that, the world speed record for the class stood at…0.

Surely the performance of the French and e-Solex will be beaten this year without much effort from any other crew. However Gilles Pujol, Franck Figuls, Yann Bruneau and Jean Caillou can boast that they were the first to try it and the first to enter the record book in this event, on the saddle of an e-Solex.
