Learn the Art of MonoTracering at Brno 2011

21st Annual Cabin Motorcycle Driver Training at the Brno Circuit, CZ. (Click to download Brno 2011 Flyer in PDF)

The 21st Annual Cabin Motorcycle Driver Training Course will be held July 11-14, 2011 at the Brno Circuit in the Czech Republic.  Attendees will receive 4 full days of instruction from the world’s most experienced MonoTracer and EcoMobile pilots for both conventional and electrically powered Cabin Motorcycles.  MonoTracer e‘s will be available for testing.

So you think you’ve seen it all? Think again. The world’s first fully enclosed motorcycle, the MonoTracer, gives you the driving experience no boring paddle-shift-sportscar can give you, no matter what the price. All advanced vehicles such as airplanes, speedboats, even race-horses, lean INTO corners, and this one does that up to 52 degrees of lean angle.  No superbike can give you a safe ride at those angles anymore with too short wheelbase, too light, and no crash safety at all.  The MonoTracer’s stressed skin monocoque, hand-layered from DuPont Kevlar®, is one of the strongest body shells of any road-going vehicle, plus it’s a rockstar at every venue. Ever dreamed of flying a jet at zero altitude? This is as close as it can get! Choose the BMW-powered MTi1200 or the awesome all electric MTe150 with US-built AC Propulsion powertrain. Ready to learn something new? Join our 4-day-training course on one of Europe’s toughest race-tracks, the GP Circuit in Brno, CZ this July 11th-14th 2011 and try to master the Art of MonoTracering.  Are you ready for the experience of your lifetime?

MonoTracer on the Gadget Show

Over 3 years ago in 2008 the British hosted Gadget Show aired a fun segment on the the newly released MonoTracers featuring the original white MonoTracer prototype and the 2nd production yellow MonoTracer.  Unfortunately for those living outside of Britain the segment was not viewable.  Recently the segment was uploaded by a cabin motorcycle enthusiast on YouTube where I watched it for the first time myself.  The host Dallas Campbell excitedly describes the MonoTracer as a futuristic transport machine, Buck Rogers, Star Wars, Podracer, Tron bike, Back to the Future style DeLorean door, etc…  The engineers at Peraves gave him an thrilling performance test drive.

MonoTracer Mount Baldy Run

Roger & the MonoTracer at the top of Glendora Ridge road on a spectacular sunny SoCal Saturday.

Last Saturday while Roger was in town we took a tour of SoCal from the beaches of Long Beach all the way to the top of Mount Baldy for an afternoon lunch.  I got to experience first hand the amazing performance of the BMW K1200 powered MonoTracer in the expert hands of Roger, one of the world’s most experienced MonoTracer pilots.  When we left the Mt. Baldy Lodge Restaurant the MonoTracer attracted its usual share of admirers including a Pasadena Art Center College of Design graduate spnKIX who filmed this little video as we were departing for a tour of Glendora Ridge.

MonoTracer at Opportunity Green

Callie Calimlim enthusiastically reviews the exotic Peraves MonoTracer

Last fall after Team X-Tracer won the Progressive Insurance Automotive X PRIZE Alternative Tandem category with the all electric AC Propulsion powered X-Tracer 7009, CEO Roger Riedener attended the Friday, September 24th “Opportunities in Modern and Energy Efficient Transportation” Mobility panel at Opportunity Green 2010 in Los Angeles.  Because the X-Tracer 7009 was in transit to the West Coast having participated in the Washington D.C. awards ceremony and subsequent New York City media events, Roger attended Opportunity Green with a production MonoTracer.  Callie Calimlim enthusiastically interviews Roger about the MonoTracer and MonoTracer E vehicles in the below YouTube video.  She comments that in her eyes the MonoTracer is a cross between a sexy motorcycle and a very smooth car.  It is definitely a vehicle that one falls smitten for at first sight with its combination of futuristic styling, high performance, and incredible efficiency.  Thanks Callie for the fun and positive review!

1. Get rid of the blue smoke
2. Have something that is fun
3. Sexy
4. Gets 100MPGe
5. and is environmentally friendly

The MonoTracer E exceeds on every point!

ZeroTracer in Mexico

ZeroTracer in Mexico

Tobias Wülser and Frank Loaker of Team ZeroTracer recently completed their Mexico leg of the ZERO Race.  Tobias released another one of his fabulous video edits of what it’s like to ZeroTrace through Mexico.  Be sure to see the girl on the back of the motorcycle that blew the ZeroTracer a kiss at minute 2:17 in the video (click for direct jump).   This is exactly the reaction one receives when riding about in the MonoTracer E.  I’ve never experienced a vehicle that elicits so many smiles, pointing, videoing, photographing, laughing, and enthusiasm.
