Re: [ElectricMotorcycles] Ultracapacitors / Supercapacitors for acceleration and regen?

[John Fisher]

theres been a lot of talk about them on the EVDL. The Honda fuel cell 
car I drove used them too. My sense is that they are best used in BEVs 
with very high demand and/or heavy regen, neither of which are relevant 
to light BEVs like bikes, but I am prepared to be corrected. They aren't 
cheap. yet. In fuel cell cars, they make a convenient buffer for hard 
acceleration.
