Oregon electric motorcycle companies MotoCzysz and Brammo both took home trophies from the racetrack over the holiday weekend.
Portland-based MotoCzysz won the TTXGP finale race on Sunday, beating out the second-fastest electric motorcycle by rival Lightning Motorcycles of California. The MotoCzysz rider finished the 2.2 mile course in one minute, 31 seconds. A rider on a Brammo bike finished third in that race.
That third-place finish in what was the TTXGP's final North American race was enough to nab Brammo the title of TTXGP North American Champion.
TTXGP is an international zero-emissions motorcycle racing program, which put on its first Portland race in July. In July, Brammo announced it would partner with the organization to build out a racing version of its Empulse bike.
MotoCzysz won the prestigious Isle of Man electric motorcycle race in June.
