LeoVince USA is proud to announce the expansion of its carbon fiber production to now include components for off-road motorcycles

RICHMOND, CA – November 10, 2009 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – LeoVince is continuing to expand its offerings to the global motorcycle market in more ways than ever before.

A new expanded “Carbon Fiber” division has been set up within LeoVince, which besides providing accessories for exhaust systems (exhaust guards, muffler straps, mounting brackets & heat shields) is now developing special motorcycle components—both aesthetic and functional pieces for enduro and motor cross bikes.

The range, which initially is being launched with fitments for Honda and Yamaha models, will quickly expand to include pieces for Kawasaki, Suzuki, KTM and Husqvarna motorcycles. The line will currently offer front and rear disc covers—the first of which were tested and used by MX1 World Champion, Antonio Cairoli—and extends to other items such as brake caliper guards, chain guides, right/left engine protectors, front sprocket covers and skid plates.

All items are “Full Carbon”, i.e. they are made completely from carbon fiber to guarantee structural resistance, lightness, quality, and great looks. Tim Calhoun, Executive Vice President of LeoVince USA states; “what separates our carbon fiber components from most components currently available is that they are constructed entirely of technical carbon fiber that is autoclaved on polished molds. This gives it an excellent finished quality and incredible strength. Most component companies are molding resin with a thin layer of carbon fiber or carbon fiber looking material on each side. We use a pre-impregnated all carbon fiber sheet and the autoclave it to a specific shape. We will be VERY price competitive with a stronger and more durable component.” He continues; In keeping with the LeoVince philosophy, we are doing everything in “in house.” This is what has always separated us from other exhaust companies in the sector, our durability, fit and quality control and it is what we feel will separate us from other carbon fiber component companies as well.”

Because of LeoVince’s long history in the off-road sector there is a high degree of experience to draw from. One example of this is something as simple as the difference between our enduro and motocross skid plates. Our enduro skid plate is larger and wraps around further than the motocross plate, as the two sports require different functionality.

All components of the “Carbon Fiber” product line will be pre-drilled and have all the brackets and hardware necessary for installation, in order to provide the end customer with a good fitting and easy to install product.

LeoVince Information
All LeoVince exhaust systems are the result of our experience acquired on world-class competition circuits. LeoVince supports teams competing in MotoGP, World Superbike and Supersport, MX1 and MX2 Motocross, World Enduro, and Supermoto. LeoVince’s commitment to racing in the U.S. includes teams in AMA Superbike, Supercross, Outdoor MX, GNCC, Supermoto and Grand National Flat Track. LeoVince is a division of Sito Gruppo Industriale based in Monticello d’Alba, Italy. Sito is the largest exhaust manufacturer in Europe. LeoVince USA brands include SBK for sportbikes, Silvertail for cruisers, Scoot for scooters, X3 for off-road and ATVs and Sito for low-cost OEM replacement.

The Largest Powersports Dealership Group In Texas Takes On The Tough Economy By Setting Up Shop On Their Facebook Page.

San Angelo, TX – November 11, 2009 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – The motorcycle and powersports markets have been hit especially hard by the recent economic downturn. Manufactures are announcing record losses and dealerships all over the country are closing up shop.

Family PowerSports, the largest motorcycle, powersports, and boat dealership group in Texas, is not letting a down economy keep them from pursuing progressive and exciting new ways to reach out to customers across the country.

The recent addition of the storefront to the page just adds one more compelling reason for customers to interact with Family PowerSports online.

Wade Hoak, Family PowerSports’ Vice President concludes by saying: “This Facebook Storefront is just a small initial step in terms of what we’ve got coming online in the next few months. We see the web as offering almost unlimited growth potential for our dealership. We’re committed to doing everything we can to make it easier for people all over the US to be Family PowerSports customers.”

First OCC electric chopper features advanced OSRAM LED forward lighting

HILLSBORO, NH  – November 4, 2009 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – Fans of the popular TLC show American Chopper will witness a first when they tune in this Thursday, November 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The Orange County Choppers (OCC) crew — founder Paul Sr., — forges new territory with the creation of their first electric-powered chopper.

Another first for an OCC creation is the use throughout the bike of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting for head, tail and signal lighting. Supplied by OSRAM SYLVANIA, a division of Siemens and a leader in automotive lighting innovation, the lighting array includes the first OEM installation of OSRAM SYLVANIA LEDs in a motorcycle head lighting application. The lighting company partnered with its sister companies Valeo Sylvania to develop a state-of-the-art headlamp cluster assembly and OSRAM Opto Semiconductors to provide high-powered LED chips.

The Smart Chopper’s 4.5-inch custom headlamp design utilizes an OSRAM JFL2-based JOULE(TM) system. The JFL2 is the latest addition to a family of LED lighting solutions designed to offer the standardization of current automotive systems in a compact, energy-efficient package.

“The Siemens Smart Chopper embodies the next generation of lighting design for the cars and motorcycles of tomorrow,” said David Hulick, marketing director for automotive LED systems division at OSRAM SYLVANIA. “OSRAM SYLVANIA LED technology is the choice for this project because of its durability, energy efficiency and of course, its versatility. LEDs offer endless design opportunities for car and motorcycle makers while reducing energy consumption by 85 percent over conventional lighting applications.”

Along with the JFL2 JOULE(TM) system, the Siemens Smart Chopper features:

• Two Amber LED “MonoLED” one-inch dome front turn signals
• Two example lamps for use of “dome and tunnel” style design for the tail lamps (red stop and amber turn signal)
• Two boards each with six OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Advanced Power TOPLED in red and yellow for front and rear turn signals
• One LINEARlight Flex Top Colormix system for Red-Green-Blue (RGB) body lighting.

“This was the first time we used LED lighting exclusively in the design of a bike, but it won’t be the last,” said Paul Teutul Sr “OSRAM LEDs opened up new avenues for us to explore reaching beyond the practical use and more towards lighting as a purely aesthetic part of the design.”

The efficiency of LED lighting makes it the perfect choice for an electric-powered motorcycle. A recent study by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) compared the power consumption of an electric vehicle equipped with all incandescent lighting to a vehicle equipped with all LED lights. The results indicate that the efficiency of LED lighting has the potential to extend the range of an electric vehicle by up to two percent of the total distance driven.

“That’s a huge benefit for electric bike riders,” said Hulick. “It’s the difference between a day of riding and a day with the bike sitting at home on the charger.”

The Siemens Smart Chopper was built for Siemens Corp., a global powerhouse in electronics and electrical engineering. It integrates an Advanced DC Motors Inc. Series Wound 8″ electric motor and clutchless one-speed drive system with a long-sleek frame and radical custom bodywork made from new and recycled materials.

Zero Motorcycles & Prosper Team Up to Provide Financing for Electric Motorcycle Buyers

- First Fully Integrated Peer-to-Peer Lending Retail Purchase Financing Solution -

SANTA CRUZ, CA – November 5, 2009 – (Motor Sports Newswire) -  Zero Motorcycles today announced the availability of consumer financing for U.S. electric motorcycle buyers through an innovative partnership with Prosper.com, the largest peer-to-peer lending marketplace in America. The joint initiative enables the first fully integrated peer-to-peer lending retail purchase financing solution in history. At the point of purchase, Zero Motorcycles’ customers can now opt to create a Prosper loan listing for the specific purpose of financing any of Zero’s electric motorcycles. In addition to newly available consumer financing, buyers of the Zero S or Zero DS are also eligible for a Federal tax credit of 10% off the purchase price. This effectively reduces the price of their street legal motorcycles to $8,955 while also giving customers a highly competitive consumer friendly financing option with monthly payments as low as $290 a month with a down payment of $1,000.*

“Our partnership with Prosper empowers our customers to secure a loan with reduced interest rates that will fund their motorcycle and riding equipment,” says John Lloyd, VP of World Wide Sales, Zero Motorcycles. “Zero and Prosper are revolutionizing their respective industries. The result is an innovative loan for an innovative motorcycle.”

“Zero Motorcycles is a green technology leader and represents the future of its industry,” said Chris Larsen, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Prosper. “By working together to provide an innovative financing solution for Zero’s customers, we’re empowering people to make a tangible, positive environmental and economic impact at every level of the transaction.”

The buyer experience is innovative, online and quick. To place a Zero Motorcycles order and fill out the loan application takes less than fifteen minutes. The loan can include the purchase of accessories, upgrades and apparel. As part of the process, the buyer sets the maximum financing rate they’re willing to pay and lenders bidding in the Prosper marketplace can bid at or below that rate, providing an opportunity for the rate to be bid down. Once the auction ends, Prosper takes the bids with the lowest rates and combines them to facilitate the funding of one simple loan to the borrower. Prosper handles all on-going loan administration tasks including loan repayment and collections on behalf of the matched borrowers and lenders. Prosper borrower loans are unsecured, three year, fixed-rate personal loans ranging from $1,000-$25,000. There are no prepayment penalties and no hidden fees.

Zero Motorcycles is powering into the world of electric vehicles with its fleet of fully electric, zero emissions motorcycles. Each motorcycle runs off of a Z-Force technology power pack consisting of lithium ion cells making it completely non-toxic, recyclable, and rated for landfill disposal in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.

BRP Secures $10 Million Military Contract for Evinrude Multi-Fuel Engines

Sturtevant, WI, - November 4, 2009 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – BRP has been awarded a $US10 million contract from the United States Marine Corps (USMC) for its Evinrude multi-fuel engines (MFE). The Evinrude 55 MFE engines with an impeller equipped jet model pump will repower their fleet of F470 Zodiac boats / Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRC) used during small craft operations.

The strict procurement requirements of the USMC to secure non-gasoline burning outboard engines led directly to BRP.  In accordance with the Department of Defense mandates, these engines must be able to operate using available battlefield fuels and to operate from naval shipping without the need for gasoline.

According to the USMC, the Evinrude MFE outboards are at the forefront of multi-fuel technology and BRP is the only manufacturer providing all the technical specifications required by the Department of Defense.  The procurement for the Evinrude MFE was awarded as a commercial product directly from the existing Federal schedule (General Services Administration).  Since the MFE technology is commercially available through BRP, the Marine Corps is able to utilize the outboards for their small craft operations.

“We’re proud to be able to provide a U.S. military branch the innovative technology that Evinrude E-TEC engines deliver,” stated Scott Weber, vice president Sales, Marketing and After-sales service, Evinrude, North American division.  “Our multi-fuel engines are designed to meet the stringent requirements of the U.S. armed forces. The USMC has placed its trust in Evinrude MFE engines to power their most critical fleet of boats.  Their confidence in the Evinrude E-TEC technology is a true validation of our efforts to provide the needed flexibility and best quality for this type of application,” he added.

Evinrude MFE engines, built on the Evinrude E-TEC technology, are designed for flexible use of multiple fuels in harsh demanding mission applications and are capable of running on kerosene, aviation fuels (JP-4, JP-5, JP-8, Jet-A and Jet-B) and standard gasoline.  The engine’s fuel selection can be changed with the simple flip of a switch, without compromising performance. In addition to the impeller equipped pump jet model, it is also available in a conventional propeller ready gearcase.

The pump jet version provides propulsion without a propeller, affording additional safety and performance targets for a wider variety of applications.  Built to specific military specifications, the pump jet is a large impeller unit attached to a full gearcase that provides superior thrust and performance when compared to conventional jet pumps.

“This military contract represents a great opportunity for our Evinrude MFE products worldwide,” said Chris Dawson, vice president – general manager, International division. “The state-of-the-art technology that our multi-fuel engines bring to the U.S. Marine Corps will certainly reinforce our ability to bring this technology to additional military operations around the world,” he concluded.

The delivery of engines began early October, 2009 and will be completed by the end of January, 2010.

BRP’s Evinrude E-TEC engine line-up now includes 110 engine models from 25- to 300-horsepower. All engines, including the MFE models, are available at Evinrude dealerships worldwide.  Visit www.evinrude.com or www.repowerwithevinrude.com for more information.
