NAWA Technologies, maker of next-generation ultra-fast energy storage systems, has revealed NAWA Racer, a zero-emission motorbike concept which features a world-first in electric powertrains: a ‘hybrid’ battery.
Appearing at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on 7th January 2020, NAWA Racer combines NAWA Technologies’ ultracapacitors – which offer 10 times more power and five times more energy than existing tech – with conventional lithium-ion cells.
Marking the first time an electric motorbike has used ultracapacitors, the hybrid system offers the best of both worlds – ultra-fast charging, incredible energy recovery and high-power output thanks to the ultracapacitors, and a long continuous range thanks to better lithium-ion management.
Inspired by the original café racers of London in the 1960s, which were lightweight, powerful bikes used for short, quick rides between cafés, NAWA Racer builds on these themes, boasting a raft of efficiency benefits that make it perfect for the city, with features other e-motorbikes cannot offer.
