Come the end of the 2025 season, the MotoE World Championship will go on hiatus after failing to 'gain sufficient traction with the fanbase'.
The FIM and Dorna Sports have agreed to put the FIM MotoE World Championship on hiatus at the end of the 2025 season.
The statement from the FIM regarding their decision to put MotoE on hiatus states the reasoning behind their decision as, "MotoE has not been able to gain sufficient traction within our fanbase during its seven seasons of competition".
There are two more rounds of the 2025 MotoE World Championship, one this weekend at the San Marino Grand Prix, and the season finale at the Portuguese Grand Prix in November.
"Today we announce the suspension of the FIM MotoE World Championship as from the end of this season," FIM President, Jorge Viegas, said.
"In fact, and despite all the best efforts to promote this innovative category together with Dorna, the truth is that we haven’t reached our objectives, nor has the industry associated with performance electric bikes.
"The racing has been really fantastic and I would like to thank all the riders and teams that have competed in MotoE, and of course Dorna. Together we look to the future and are ready to embrace any new innovations and technologies."
Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports, added: "MotoE has delivered some incredible on-track action and crowned champions and winners, playing a valuable role in MotoGP’s mission to innovate, fearlessly, and never shy away from staging something new.
"As we continuously strive for innovation on and off track, we must be equally unafraid of listening to our fanbase and the new audiences we seek to connect with, and observe market development. In doing so, together with the FIM, we have decided that the time is right to put MotoE on hiatus at the end of this season.
"We would like to thank all the riders and teams, Ducati, Michelin, our partners and all the personnel who have made MotoE a reality since its inception in 2019. Thank you for joining us on this valuable journey."
