World’s first hybrid-electric motorcycle ‘NawaRacer’ made of aluminium all set to fire

NawaRacer, the world’s first electric motorcycle is planning to launch in the coming months, but as per our report, it will hit on a race track, as the brand owners have not delivered any signal for its production as of yet.

Nawa Technologies has announced that it will come up with a zero-emission motorcycle in the upcoming months and the on-road version of the NawaRacer concept displayed at the 2020 CES (Consumer Electronics Show). The motorbike is being developed in association with YSY Group, Pronergy, FAAR and AKKA Technologies.

The NawaRacer has round headlamps with a Daytime Running Light in a black casing, black alloy wheels, minimalistic bodywork and smooth flowing lines. The copper accents and upswept single-piece tan seat alongside the exposed rear make for an attractive combo in the NawaRacer giving a neo-retro look.

The racer bike uses a Li-ion battery module with uniquely developed ultra-capacitors that are claimed to offer ten times more power and produce five times more energy than the existing ultra-capacitors. The NawaCap ultra-capacitor weighs only 10 kilograms and has a capacity of 0.1 kWh. It is said to reuse 80% of the energy generally scrubbed off through braking.

With only 150 kilograms, the lightweight aluminium body of the bike has an integrated battery pack while carbon fibre rims and swingarm are used to aid in better handling.

NawaRacer is furnished with a small 9 kWh battery and a hubless rim motor stands in place of a regular hub-mounted motor to develop around 100 PS due to the high regenerative capacity.  The racer bike, inspired by 19060s styling, is said to have a maximum speed of 160 kmph and the combined range stands at 150 km.

The urban range is claimed to be 300 km and it takes only 60 minutes to recharge back to 80 per cent, however, the exact time it will take to full charge has not yet been revealed.
