MANTHINI has done this since 2018 on a working eBike prototype. We are now scaling and building an Autocycle.

You can build (or at least sell) lithium batteries much more cheaply (and with longer lifetimes) if you limit the charge and discharge rates. And downrate all the associated power-handling electronics that deal with the battery. Depending on the kind of urban driving, a typical trip might not even touch the battery.

Have them first 1) Explain the best possible regeneration they would give the 110mi battery-only design... and that better be the baseline 2) Explain how many stop-and-go's are in that 180mi cap-bat range, and what speed/deceleration amount between each stop 3) Show how that can possibly achieve a 63% gain in range from pure regeneration braking efficiency alone.

Tesla is going to do the same thing with its 2023 Roadster.

Tesla bought out Maxwell for the capability of combining a supercapacitor with it's battery tech for its sports cars like the Roadster and possibly even the upcoming Cyber Truck.

Regardless of their technological claims, that bike is gorgeous.

Cool Tech but I'm getting an Aprilia inspired vibe.. Aprilia Moto 6.5 from 1995

It will never sell .. too f**king ugly

nope she super capacitor is .1 kwh it's not meant to take care of any trip. it's here to take care of all Regen with a better efficiency. almost 100% of the Regen generated by the motor goes into the super capacitot and back to the note whenever you accelerate. the super capacity can take care of almost all accelerations /decelerations, but the battery is still here to provide power to overcome the drag/friction. it's like a hybrid battery where the super capacity takes care of all the spikes and smoothen out the battery's job.

The idea is good, but i have always learned that the front brake is the most important brake for motorbikes. Only braking with the rear wil not give enough braking power in emergency situation. So it wil need a diskbreak in the frontwheel for emergency stops.
