Silencing the skeptics — Nawa faces skeptics who say that high-performance batteries can accept charge quickly enough that a supercapacitor wouldn’t make an appreciable difference. But the company is going to put its concept bike to the test. The company is working with Akka Technologies to develop the powertrain and aluminum body, while Faar Sas and its subsidiary Pronergy will work on battery management and power distribution.
The prototype bike is set to debut in the third quarter of this year. And even if it can’t deliver entirely on the performance front, with a design this handsome, we hope to see the Nawa Racer make it to market in one form or another anyway.
