Lithium Batteries and Alloy Frames
Lithium batteries, with the promise of extended range, extended life and easier portability, are on their way. Tests at the University of Bathindicate that the lit hium batteries will totallytransform the performance of Powabyke machines. Weighing in at just4kg – less than half the weight of the current lead-acid battery –the lithium batteries should be available within the next couple of weeks.
No modifications are needed to existing bikes for upgrading to lithium. The only thing that you will need is a new charger as the old ones are not compatible. Combined with new lightweight alloy frames, the total weight of a Powabyke with a lithium battery will fall to around 28kg. All of our Euro models now come with alloy frames. This means that they weigh 4kg less than the old steel frames. |
