iris123 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Egon was hailing it as the future.I remember being at an indoor speedway meeting in Denmark and he was interviewed saying he wanted Smoli to ride it in the meeting,but it was too powerful!!! Then the internet site announced the coming of the,i think,european electric speedway league and it died a death even quicker than the FIM Champions League thingmy..... The site now appears to be dead and there is one for 'electricspeedway' with nothing on it now about speedway at all.Egon seems more interested in plugging his new cd and audio story of his life....   http://www.bahnsporttechnik.de/body_electricbike.html http://www.electric-speedway.com/electric-motorbikes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Shoe Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 With the wind farm next to the Eddie Wright Raceway i can see Scunny becoming the centre of the universe of Electric Speedway. I can't wait for the start of every race as the bikes line-up at the tapes and all you can hear is the sound of a hundred pairs of teeth munching pies, chips and peas then next lap as the bikes pass by you they are drowned out by the sound of a flock of starlings.
