Electric assist bikes
Half listening to Radio National the other night, I heard an item regarding
a new electrical motor assisted bike designed at the Uni of NT and in the shops real soon. Anybody know more? Sydney stockers? |

The outfit that did the research was the NT Centre for Energy Research (http://www.ntcer.ntu.edu.au/) They were granted money by the NTU Foundation for the project but there is no mention of it on the NTCER website! Maybe if you contact them ) they will let you know what's happening. -- Cheers LB |

Anybody know more? Sydney stockers? http://www.abc.net.au/rn/science/ss/ First 9 minutes of the 16 August 2003 program. No stockists mentioned, but they hope to have them in the stores by Christmas. Sounds like a better engineered version than the Toprun motor I have on my bike. A Lithium Ion battery (a future proposal) would be great for weight reduction. |
