Münch TTE 2 by Muench Electric Racer

Münch TTE 2

From 2012, privateer teams all over the world can race a Münch, no less than the 2012 version developed from the successful e-bike Münch TTE 2 that carried factory rider Matthias Himmelmann to win the 2011 FIM International Championship as well as the TTX GP World Championship.

For the 2012 the championship-winning team will not only build a heavily revised and improved version of the 2011 MÜNCH TTE 2 but also – as the first e-bike manufacturer in the racing world – a limited series of 9 production racers.

With a MÜNCH TTE 2 you get the licence to take part in the FIM INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and the TTX GP. For the 2012 season, the hand built production racers will be leased to innovative teams and riders to allow them to compete on the highest international level. Free choice of sponsors for both, teams and riders, allow them to cooperate with other companiesand  accelerate technical progress thus closing the loop of sustainable mobility.

Like in 2011, the races will be held on international circuits of high renown, such as Le Mans or Laguna Seca, and the TTXGP race weekends will be shown on TV and on the internet in the USA, Europe and Asia. Races for the FIM International championship will be partly held along with the MotoGP World Championship.

Mission One Electric Bike by Mission Motors

MISSION ONE ELECTRIC BIKE

Designed by FuseProject for Mission Motors, the Mission One Premier Limited Edition (PLE) is the fist electric superbike able to power wheelies at 70mph (112km/h).

The challenge was to create a design that would be accepted by motorcycle enthusiasts while also being immediately recognizable as a vehicle fueled by alternative energy. Ultimately, the bike needed to balance innovation with tradition, overcome the stigma of a silent ride and define what an electric Bike should look like.

Powered by 100kW (136 horsepower) AC Induction motor that peaks 120 ft/lbs of torque,  Mission One tops its speed at 161 mph (259km/h) and takes  2 hours charge on 240-volt outlets for 150-mile range.

With a fully equipped data acquisition system and wireless communication capability, the rider captures real time ride data to adjust throttle maps, tune regenerative braking and ride settings, all from a laptop computer.
It features a fully adjustable Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, Marchesini wheels  and a battery pack  enclosed in a lightweight steel trellis structure, covered by honeycomb textured skins

There is literally nothing on the street with a sparkplug to light the fire that will out-accelerate the Mission One…”– Alan Cathcart, motorcycle journalist
