On July 2, 2010, Malaysian newspaper, New Strait Times, has released this news about Modenas electric bike built on Modenas CT chassis. It features 1kW of motor (equivalent to 1.34hp). The battery can be charged from zero based to fully charged for 3.5 hours. At 39cent per charge, CTRIC can be taken to 65km (my daily ride is less than 30km, so, there is a market for this bike). Suggested price for this bike is RM5,000, but it is said that the maintainance cost is 50% less than the internal combustion engine since it doesn’t have to use engine oil, filters, spark plugs and so on.
Not available yet. Modenas is now waiting for green light by the parliament to make this bike can be taken to the public road.
UPDATE (16/06/2011): It is launched! Check it out here: https://motomalaya.net/blog/2011/06/13/modenas-ctric-launching-on-16th-june-2011/
