aspirations and ambitions of the AMD
World Championship and to support
the World Championship builder
community with products from their

technology, and the demands being
made on motorcycle batteries with the
explosion in device charging and power
draw are creating a whole new
landscape and range of pitfalls for
riders, battery condition has become a
key priority for dealers, customizers and
riders alike.
TecMate CEO/CTO Martin Human says
that: "These days the demands being
STECHMÜCKE
made on powersports batteries and the
'critical system' role they have in
keeping security products,
communications, mobile devices and
accessories working well, without
compromising starting and the power
the motorcycle's management systems
require, has become a more complex
world as a bewildering array of
battery platforms have emerged to
answer those needs.
"Our OptiMate range is specifically
engineered to provide dealers and
riders with the solutions they need, and
as a showcase of advanced design,
engineering and innovation, we are
very happy to associate the OptiMate
brand with the AMD World
Championship."
All 2020 AMD World Championship
competitors will be contacted with the
offer to choose from a selected range of
OptiMate product, for free. The program
is aimed at products that complement
the design options that the builder is
already seeking to realize.

2013) stunned the estimated 150,000 high
