Which university is researching electric bike/scooter technology?

CliveS
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.

    Hi,

    A full hybrid car, like Toyota Prius can provide an improvement of 60% and more in the fuel consumption. The largest savings that achieves full hybrid car comes from reconstruction of the culpable regenerative (Regenerative Braking), technology captures most of the energy that is usually wasted in the heating heaters, and ranging it into electric energy. Just as the engine can turn the electrical energy in accumulator into a preponderant power (the power rotating the wheels and pushes the car), can be turned into the process, and create electricity from the power of the power of the passenger car and live in accumulator.
