Motorcycle News latest edition states that Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki are jointly developing new battery packs for bikes but where is the British version being developed?? England used to lead the world in technical development and specification.
Which university will take up this challenge???? We need to specify which type of motor AC or DC brushed or unbrushed is most reliable, then find the most economic variable speed control and finally specify the battery size, shape and connector. [ which Japan is about to take the lead.]
I am convinced that the government would help universities fund such a research project which could spin off into new manufacturing opportunities and employment for thousands of people.
