The Mugen Shinden electric motorbike is preparing to take up the challenge of the zero emission Tourist Trophy on the Isle of Man for the seventh time… with a dream team of riders!

The Mugen Shinden electric motorbike is preparing to take up the challenge of the zero emission Tourist Trophy on the Isle of Man for the seventh time. Since the bike was launched, it has undergone non-stop development and the latest iteration has been given the name, “nana,” which means seven in Japanese. Its three riders will have the record set by John McGuinness in 2015 at an average speed of 191,961 km/h (119.279 mph) in their sights.

The Japanese manufacturer’s engineers will be aiming for their fifth victory on the famous 60-km (37.773 m) Snaefell Mountain course. To achieve this they have designed a new front cowl to improve cooling and have also modified the other bodywork elements to enhance aerodynamic efficiency. Last but not least, the battery’s capacity has been maximised.

The three riders selected by Mugen constitute a dream team! John McGuinness and Bruce Anstey have won the TT all categories combined 23 and 10 times respectively. They also shared the last four victories in the TT Zero (McGuinness in 2014 and 2015, and Anstey in 2016 and 2017). This year they will be backed up by Lee Johnston who finished third in 2015 behind his two teammates.
