<p>Square Wave Racing is a partnership between fabricator/team principal John Wild and Sean C. Ewing and Jordan Rhyne of Rhyne Electric Powersports. This partnership was formed to design, build and race an electric motorcycle.</p> <p>But we ask, why would a racer want to go to all the trouble of designing and building a race bike that does not go as fast as possible?</p> <p>For us the answer is simple: electric vehicles are the future. Because electricity from the grid is generated at tightly regulated power plants in large quantities it is produced more cleanly and efficiently than the power produced by a gasoline burning engine. There are no emissions from the electric vehicle itself. Electric vehicles are quiet, which is a pleasant feature as our world becomes more crowded</p> <p>Those are the official reasons for going electric racing. For us there are other reasons that are more exciting.</p> <p>Super bike and MotoGP racing use motorcycle designs that have been refined for decades. The rule books enforce a uniformity of pattern that benefits the established motorcycle producers but slows improvement and keeps the cost of development high, <span class="caps">REALLY</span> high. Essentially, only the factory teams have the ability to spend enough money to make the tiny, subtle improvements that make a bike that leads the points for a season. If the rules would allow free development motorcycles might begin to look different and change in unexpected ways.</p> <p>The organizers of the <span class="caps">TTXGP</span> have designed their rules to encourage creativity and allow unconventional thinking. That is what has attracted Rhyne Electric Powersports and Square Wave Racing. We want to try new ideas, not just polish the well tested and proven ones. We believe that we can imagine solutions to the problems that limit electric vehicles and advance the state of the art very quickly. And because the state of the art is currently rather crude, significant improvements can be made for relatively little money. This year, the first year of electric motorcycle racing in North America. We only began our collaboration in February of this year, so making the first races with our donated motorcycle chassis will be a tremendous achievement.</p> <p>Our goals for this season are to:<br /> 1. Get on the track.<br /> 2. Deepen our understanding of electric propulsion and racing motorcycles.<br /> 3. Let people know about Rhyne Electric Powersports and the products they will be producing.<br /> 4. Win, of course.</p>
