The 2013 FIM eRoad Racing World Cup season was the only season of the eRoad Racing championship for electric motorcycle road racing, organised by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) following the unification of the former TTXGP series with the FIM "e-Power" electric motorcycle racing series. Two separate series were held in Europe and in North America. Since the planned World Final was cancelled, two separate winners were determined, one for each series: Ho Chi Fung (Zongshen, China) for the European series and Eric Bostrom (Icon Brammo, USA) for the North American series.
Calendar
The 2013 eRoadRacing World Cup was planned to consist of 4 races in Europe and 4 in North America, with a world final in Asia. However, only 6 races took place in the end, as two of the American races as well as the World Final had to be cancelled because of time constraints. The initially announced Events at Miller Motorsport Park in Utah were among those cancelled. The proposition for the World Final was set to be held on the Buddh International Circuit in India as part of the Superbike World Championship round, but since that was cancelled there was no unification of both series.
