Along with 267 further exhibitors we participated in the Motorrad Messe Leipzig last weekend and presented our MUENCH Mammut 2000 as well as our World Championship bike, the TTE-2.

“Many people only recognise the brand because of its legendary company history. The fact that we now run our bikes on e-power does create confusion now and then,” said MUENCH team spokesmen Ralf Ernst about the exhibition and the balancing act between old and new MUENCH history.

Nevertheless, we could convince the majority with our e-MUENCH. “It doesn’t matter if you look at it now or back then. Due to its unique and striking concept, MUENCH is unmistakable. Something similar does not exist,” enthuses visitor Andreas Schmidt who wanted to catch up on new developments and surprisingly found himself face to face with the old traditional brand MUENCH. “As well as the Mammut 2000 the TTE is an eye-candy and sustains the MUENCH firm legacy,” accounts Ralf Ernst for the brisk interest in the new e-powered racing motorcycle.

The fact that we let our so called Production Racer to interested teams to compete in international racing series such as the FIM and TTXGP attracted great attention. Many visitors left our booth with new realisations. MUENCH has become a brand that in line with power, design and driving pleasure nowadays mainly stands for sustainable development and environment friendly technology.

You can find more information in the interview that Ralf Ernst gave to the colleagues from bikersprofi.

A day pass costs 12 € (10 € for discounted tickets). A three day ticket costs 20 €. Children and adolescents (under 16) are free of admission!

We are looking forward to meeting you!

What once was developed within a partnership will now be conjointly organised again: In 2009, the FIM and TTXPG collectively developed a concept for an e-bike racing series. Eventually, both associations decided to operate separately however. As a result teams and fans were able to rejoice in two suspenseful racing series since 2010.

TTXGP founder and chief executive, Ashar Hussain, says about the new partnership with the UEM: “we very enthusiastic to welcome such a fantastic partner in the UEM to sanction our European championship; working with such respected motorsport body as well as honoured professionals will aid TTXGP to grow and thrive and we are very much looking forward to an exciting year of racing.”

Both organisers will now start to focus on the 2012 eGrandPrix racing dates. The racing course in Assen however, is a mandatory stop in the upcoming racing calendar. They already signed a three year contract with the TTXGP.

After havin accomplished great things in 2011 we aimed high for this year: For us, first priority is the title defence in both racing series, the FIM and TTXGP.
Needless to say we will also further improve our TTE. With our “MUENCH Production Racer” for example, we are taking a big stip in the right direction for racing sport future: Interested teams can lease the Production Racer and compete with the TTE2 world championship technology during the upcoming racing season.
Due to the increased number of participants who are in possession of a competitive technology the races will be more suspensful and hence, more interesting for fans and audience. The increased media attention supports the teams with their courting for new sponsors and additionally e-mobility and the e-powered racing sport will experience a significant promotion/encouragement. After all our partner teams’ experiences with the Production Racer will help us to constantly improve the TTE itself, as well as safety and quality. This also means that component suppliers such as engine or battery manufacturer have to intensify their research in order to be able to succesfully be a part of this seminal market.

Last but not least we want to get closer with our fans. In order to meet this aim we will participate in more public events.
These are the next dates:
03rd- 05th February,2012 Motorradtage Leipzig
01st-04th March, 2012 Motorratdtage Dortmund
More dates will follow.

To provide you with a 2012 foretaste we have put together a media-based review. From now on you can read all past and current media coverage in our “Press & Video” section on our homepage.

The mayor of Wurzburg, Georg Rosenthal, honoured the team’s most current triumphs during a reception at the Wurzburg town hall. He was really enthused about their outstanding accomplishments. Amongst the invited guests were not only the Petsch family itself, which is from Wurzburg, but also the whole team around its head of development Thomas Schuricht and team driver Matthias Himmelmann. Rosenthal is very proud of this successful company: “They carry our city’s name into the world and link it to a field which is very seminal for both, economy and environment.”

The team will customise the bike’s build and contract according to the client’s needs. Maintenance and Service, both on and off the racing track however, are always a part of the agreement. These continuous inspections conduce to the driver’s and bike‘s safety. The propulsion technology will be protected and sealed with leads. Due to the lack of contracts only a few examples have already been manufactured. The interest for this new development however is great.

The e-bike is going to be equipped with the latest technology. Hence, the Production Racer is not only as good as last season’s winning bike, but can be seen as an improvement of the TTE-2. Just like public opinion MUENCH also believes that ccompetition activates and vivifies the business.

Interested teams or people can contact Matthias Himmelmann directly via himmelmann@muench-racing.com. In addition to the bike’s let he will offer practice sessions on how to handle the bike. The first scheduled sessions for example will take place in Spain from March 12th, 2012 until March 23rd, 2012.

The first video was produced by Sat.1 and broadcasted during their 5.30 pm newscast. The second one was made only a day later. The team from Hessenschau (Hessischer Rundfunk) produced a four minute long report.

We would like to thank the friendly TV teams!

And we hope all of our fans enjoy watching the material!

Just like in 2010 we once again won the e-racing crown!

During the open practice the team already proofed that the MUENCH TTE-2 is a class of its own. With a high speed of 190km/h and a lap time of 1.42 for 2.1 miles Matthias Himmelmann was able to break away from main opponent Ho ChiFung who crossed the finish line four seconds behind Himmelmann. At the same time racing bikes from the 70’s participated in the competition. This constrained Himmelmann and his pursuit of fast lap times.

“During the Qualifying we came in first in front of David Hallett and Ho ChiFung,” explains team manager Thomas Petsch on racing Sunday. “The final race started at 2pm and we all hoped for yet another start to finish victory.” Eventually Matthias Himmelmann came in first with a healthy margin of 40 seconds before Ho ChiFung. But that’s not all there is. As the cherry on the cake Himmelmann accomplished a sensational lap time of 1.39 during his last lap. With this start to finish victory head of development Thomas Schuricht and his team once again accomplished something sensational. “The British racing enthusiasts were more than impressed that one can already go that fast on an e-bike. They do understand however, that e-racing is the future,” said Thomas Petsch. The emission-free racing sport is supported by an on-site wind power station in the pit lane where all e-bikes are charged.

The fastest machines achieved a lap time of 1.37 this weekend. With their time of 1.39 MUENCH is hard on their heels!
