The inaugural FIM E-X Bike World Cup gets underway at the hard pack track of Imola, Italy, this Saturday and it will feature a MotoGP hero and an enduro star in the rider line-up.

Looking at the Line up in EXB2 category, potential World Cup winners are the world famous dark horse of MotoGP and SBK champion Marco Melandri with his ultimate Thok e-bike, and former MXGP and now talented Enduro rider Davide Guarneri with his innovative Haibike.

It’s not a surprise 2-wheel champions such as Marco Melandri and Davide Guarneri were keen on attending the event as both use electric bicycles for their training and free time alike.
