HYBRID SYSTEM

The 34bhp electric motor draws its power not from a lithium-ion battery but from a supercapacitor – one that’s somewhat different to the kind currently causing some issues for vehicle manufacturing. In this application, a supercapacitor intakes and deploys energy far more quickly than a traditional battery, while also being lighter and more flexible in its packaging. Its electrical energy might only last one or two heavy throttle applications, but can be replenished just as quickly under braking.
