Marking the first time an electric motorbike has used ultracapacitors, NAWA Technologies’ hybrid battery system is fully scale-able and can be applied to any EV, including cars. Details such as LED lighting for the headlight and taillight, anodised matte black suspension forks, nubuck leather saddle in vintage complete the striking look.
NAWA claims that by combining both energy sources, it is optimizing both and opening new possibilities for electric powertrains. With the help of the supercapacitors, the size of the heavy lithium-ion battery pack can be reduced and charging times reduced with it.
