The TLMoto team its a project that gathers engineering students to build a track motorcycle and compete in an academic international event.
The team TLMoto pretends, along with your support, to participate in the fourth edition of the Motostudent, where teams of many worldwide Universities build and project their own motorcycles to run in the Motorland Aragón international circuit.
We were the only portuguese team present in the third edition, where fourty two teams of the following countries participated: Spain, Italy, Brazil, USA, Ecuador, England, Venezuela and Hungary.
The first participation of the in MotoStudent
Our ambition has always been a continuos tecnological progress. Our first participation was based upon the development and construction of a motorcycle with a frame of variable geometry. Now we want to go further and advance with the building of the first electrical motorcycle for track, developed in national territory.
If you are interested in getting more information, you can contact us through the available means.
You can also look for all the information regarding the competition rules on the organization's event website.
About the author
The Instituto Superior Técnico, from Portugal is an international reference in Engineering, besides teaching many kinds of engineering it also promotes the entrepreneurship spirit so that students can succeed in their projects.
The core team is composed of mechanical engineering students, nevertheless there are other and very important skills only gathered when joining different engineers, such as electronic and aerospace. Currently our team is composed by the following members:
- André Xavier - Electrical Engineering
- António Januário - Mechanical Engineering
- Bernardo Ribeiro - Mechanical Engineering
- Diogo Neves - Aerospace Engineering
- Diogo Nunes - Mechanical Engineering
- Gonçalo Cabecinhas - Electrical Engineering/Energy Management Engineering
- João Ramos - Mechanical Engineering
- Leonor Neto - Mechanical Engineering
- Márcia Figueira - Mechanical Engineering
- Mariana Silva - Mechanical Engineering
- Mário Martins - Mechanical Engineering
- Marta Boavida - Mechanical Engineering
- Miguel Morgado - Mechanical Engineering
- Pedro Cadilha - Aerospace Engineering
- Rodrigo Martins - Mechanical Engineering
Each team member has a crucial role in order to achieve our goal of building a motorcycle. This can only happen due to the personal urge of each member to revitalize the motorcycle industry in Portugal.
