Neander gets TUV

Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.

The Neander diesel powerbike is about a year behind schedule, but apparently they passed a big hurdle in Sept. Getting the German TUV certificate. I hope they still have my deposit! Check out the update and new picture!

As you see, progress is being made!

All in all, reorganizing the Neander pre-series model is taking longer than planned – because, of course, the chassis should be as perfect as the motor. The particularly complex components (such as the swingarm, the twin telescoping forks, and the tail plate) have gobbled up more time than we had estimated.

The delay will push us into the 2007 season. This is not such a big deal, because it gives us more time to properly tighten the last screws and test drive the Neander until the asphalt knows each tread by name.

As part of our Rollout tour (at the beginning of the year, at the latest), we will offer test-drives, so that you can prove the power and elegance of the REAL NEANDER to yourselves.

Until then, you can look at what you’re getting into in 360° on the
Internet: http://www.neander-motors.com/motorbike/en/index.php and then click the options “Motorcycle” and “3D View”.

Autumn greetings from the coast,

Team Neander
