The TT Zero race was first introduced in 2010.
TT Zero was created as an officially sanctioned electric-motorcycle race for the Isle of Man TT programme. It replaced the separately promoted TTXGP event, which had staged a clean-emissions race on the island in 2009. The new event placed electric racing directly within the main TT meeting.
The inaugural TT Zero took place over one lap of the 37.73-mile Snaefell Mountain Course. American rider Mark Miller won in 2010 on a MotoCzysz E1pc, completing the lap in 23 minutes 22.89 seconds at an average of 96.820 mph.
The name can cause confusion because electric racing appeared at the TT in 2009 under the TTXGP name. That earlier event was the predecessor, but 2010 was the first year of the TT Zero race itself. The class later became associated with Team Mugen, which dominated from 2014 through 2019.
