The EML Sidecars company, short EML, is a Dutch Sidecarcross and Quad frame manufacturer, having won numerous worldchampionships in this sport.〔(W-Tec - Wiederafuerstehung? ) , Article on Hennie Winkelhuis and his work, accessed: 4 November 2009〕〔(EML BEIWAGEN ) , www.bode-sidecars.de, accessed: 4 November 2009〕 EML stands for "Eigen Makelij", meaning ''made myself''. ==History== The company was formed by Hennie Winkelhuis in 1972. He built, in his factory in Neede, completely new frames for motorcycles that originally were not very well suited to be combined with a sidecar.〔(Long distance riding impression of Ed Pols' personal Moto Guzzi I-convert / Moturist combination ) www.moturist.nl, accessed: 4 November 2009〕 Winkelhuis later sold his company to conentrate on W-Tec and his Quad production but presented a somewhat revolutionary sidecarcross in 2001.〔 He was however unable to pursue this project because of illness and died in May 2007.〔(Who is EML? ) accessed: 4 November 2009〕 EML suffered also a bankruptcy in 1993, but managed to resume activities after a brief suspension of all activities. The motocross part of the company is now owned by Alex Brusselers and Jan op t Hoog, who, in cooperation with EML-W-Tec, aim to return the name to sidecarcross success once more.〔(EML website ) accessed: 4 November 2009〕 In the 2009 season however, no team in the sidecarcross world championship used an EML frame.〔(FIM website - 2009 classification ) accessed: 4 November 2009〕 EML-W-Tec nowadays produces road bikes, sidecars and trikes.〔(EML-W-Tec website ) Retrieved 26 March 2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「EML Sidecars」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
