  • The history of the automobile in Indonesia will not leave the colonialism by the Europeans in this country, as the note is while the country is still in the era of the 16th century, European nations with the ability and the development of science and technology has been able to create a colony in the entire world, and Indonesia at that time was the country disunited not spared from the invasion of europe at the time, starting from the Portuguese, the Dutch, English and French with all the romance in europe itself did not escape from the internal war between them. European nations that have been advanced in the science of mathematics and physics as well as engineering sciences and other social, certainly in colonize the region also brought a product of the technology, because the mission at that time was to take the results of the earth, and in processing the results of the earth cannot escape from technology to process it. One of the machining technology of that time the earliest is steam power, steam engines using the energy of steam from the water and converts it into mechanical energy.
  • Motorcycle collection of the museum Mpu Tantular museum is design with creators Heinrich & William Hildebrand brothers who is the engineer of the steam engine and Alois Wolfmuller and mechanical Hans Geisenhof Germany in 1894, a prototype model of the motor is made Hildebrand brothers in 1889 with a steam engine and with the inclusion of Wolfmuller and mechanical, then revamped with motor oil, see note figures of the initiators of the machine the motor can be said to have the development of variations of course also not the least in the group of experts in the mechanical age and spread in various countries. Germany is known as a powerful country in terms of the automotive future and it can be said until now, the alienation of the experts of Germany in Europe due to the political line different of course also able to produce designs which also has its own advantages in automotive. The fleet of the German war a lot of success because the powered equipment combat machines best. Take the example of the Tank Panzer, Volkswagen, BMW and Daimler, which in the end were able to spawn a brand of the legendary Mercedes Benz centuries of legend.
  • The collection of the museum Mpu Tantular Sidoarjo has a motorcycle that is rare and unique in the technical-made motorcycles Hildebrand and Wolfmuler in the company labeled Motorrad in Munich the German state of artificial 1894, where the company itself only produces a certain amount of 2000 units in the country and is again in production by the license in France Europe and America with a total production reaches 20,000 units.
  • This product belongs to the company (Motorrad) have failed to survive due to the intense competition that time, practically existed until 1919 and then became extinct due to world war I, where Germany lost. Since then the Company Motorrad and its products do not exist in the market, lucky to mpu Tantular museum has a collection of this, because there are only 6 museum again outside who have it, including : NSU museum Neckarsul Germany, London's Science Museum, The Henry Ford in Detroit-Michigan USA, National Technical Museum in Prague, Republic Czech, Barber Vintage Motosports Museum Birmingham, Alabama USA, Wells Automuseum
  • One of the causes of the failure of this product is the price is too expensive that era and technical ability while running which is not good, it is said, is a “run and jump” because it does not have a plane of the clutch in the engine, may be analogous to if today is the way when used as rolling but like riding a horse. There are some vehicles that are still passing though not many products such as bemo daihatsu and yamaha motorcycle before the era of the brand alfa suzuki before the era of the RC using the clutch but not perfect for the transfer gear. Or maybe it was the model of drive crank shaft back and forth as the driving wheel of a locomotive or it could be the system supplier of fuel that is not prime from the motor Hildenand & Wolfmuller this run is not perfect.
