A bit early I suppose, but probably better to start a 2019 thread to discuss what is expected in 2019.

Moto E will be with us with from 2019, starting out with 5 races during the season.  Races will be 7 - 10 laps at Jerez, Le Mans, Sachsenring, Red Bull Ring and Misano.  It will be a one manufacturer class with all bikes manufactured by Energica Moto Company.  Bikes sound like a overworked washing machine, but do have some impressive specs (I think):

Specs:

Max power:  110kw
0 - 100: 3s
Top speed: 250km/h
Battery:  HV Lithium-ion
Recharging:  0 - 85% in 20 minutes.
Motor:  Synchronous, oil-cooled, AC with permanent magnets (whatever the heck that may mean)

Planned teams:

Tech3 Racing: Kenny Foray and Hector Garzo
LCR Team:  Randy du Puniet and Niccolo Canepa
Pramac Racing: Josh Hook and Alex de Angelis.  Both to be confirmed.
Avintia Racing Team:  Xavier Simeon and Eric Granado
Angel Nieto Team: Nico Terol and Maria Herrera
Gresini Racing: Matteo Ferrari and ???
Pons Racing: Sete Gibernau
Intact GP Team: Jesko Raffin
