About Us

Racing Electric Motorsports – International Hellenic University (REM-IHU) is the student research racing team of the International Hellenic University in Serres. Founded in 2018 by Mechanical Engineering students, the team was created with the vision of bringing innovation and engineering excellence to motorsport.

REM-IHU designed and built the first fully electric racing motorcycle in Greece, and competes in the international MotoStudent competition at the MotorLand Aragón circuit in Spain, where university teams from all over the world test their prototypes through a series of demanding static and dynamic challenges.

About Us

Overview

Over four racing seasons, REM-IHU has evolved from a student initiative into a competitive electric motorsport team with international recognition.
