The team's abstract history
Since its constitution in the late nineties of the last century, the group evolved to a
successful team putting electric traction into action on motorcycles. We have always been trying
hard and pushing the limits of our convenience bit for bit further to converge our constructions
into the single matter this is all about: machines that compete, speed is a relevant issue with that.
In 2000, after a steep learning curve, our early electrically propelled bike broke the
FIM speed world record over a range of 10 kilometers in its class.
A couple of months later we missed the absolute FIM speed world record rather close.
In 2008, at the moment of announcement that an electric motorcycle class will be established at the 2009 TT,
the decision obtruded itself to bring something on the course there. The machine finished at the
2009 TTXGP (the forerunner of the TT Zero) in 5th place as best university team.
In 2010, the event is now named TT Zero, we reached a 4th place in practice and pre-qualified. Sadly, during
the super sport 2 race the team was confronted with the full catastrophic scope of danger with races.
Disbandment almost seemed the only true response.
During 2011, the motorcycle was fully redesigned in its shape, aiming for her last chance to compete at the TT Zero in 2012.
Despite nerve busting motorcontroller problems a fantastic Rob Barber (TTXGP winner in 2009) raced
to 4th place over all, resulting in the team's win of the 2012 TT university prize. Our second one.
PAST
Learn more about how we started
building zero emission vehicles,
what had happened during these
years and take a look at some
(hopefully) interesting pictures.
PRESENT
One might be interested in building
a racing bike of his own, probarbly
thinking about founding a racing team of
his own. Then he should read about those
ups and downs our racing team encountered
during the last five yaers...
FUTURE
There is no doubt about, joining the TT
again. But to do so, the most important thing
is the bike itself. Of course it must be
competitive but first of all it has to be
reliable, what means improved safety for the rider.
