BMW Motorrad has revealed an electric sportbike concept modeled on the BMW S1000RR supersport bike. Called the eRR, the experimental sportbike has been created to unite the high-speed performance of the S1000RR with an electric power source.

BMW says technical details will be revealed at “a later date” and that the experimental vehicle is designed to investigate the possibilities of applying an electric power source to a sport bike. The eRR was created as a project with the Technical University of Munich.

“We asked ourselves: What happens when combining a sport motorcycle and an electric drive? The experimental vehicle eRR brings the topic zero emission and electric drive on a new, more fascinating level,” says Stephan Schaller, head of BMW Motorrad.

The chassis is identical to the S1000RR, and there’s no word on when the eRR’s details will be revealed. We expect some news at the EICMA next week, so keep watching this space.
