Title: Veloteq To Produce NiZn Powered Scooters
Post by: skadamo on September 04, 2008, 10:25:05 PM

PowerGenix will team with Veloteq to produce NiZn powered Scooters in 2009.

nickel zinc (NiZn) battery that has 35 percent higher power and energy density than NiMH, but is half the cost of a lithium-ion battery (which still has a third more energy than a NiZn battery), according to its CEO, Dan Squiller.

The batteries are also light, which makes them particularly suitable for small vehicles like motorcycles. The result is a mid-market bike or scooter that can travel far enough for commuting or errands without breaking the bank. Veloteq, the US subsidiary of Chinese brand Power Eagle, will make a scooter that will be initially marketed in Europe and the US based on PowerGenix’s NiZn chemistry.
