The Electrical front-wheel gearbox device capable of making motorcycle sped up to 20 km/h, even when the engine is turned off. So, besides helping the performance of the engine, this tool also can independently drive the motorcycle.

Energy from this tool is generated when the rider is braking. The friction of the braking system is converted into electric power and saved in the battery.

Unfortunately, to date these newer devices are still in the stage of research and development. Wunderlich still refers it as a product concept. That's means, these devices can be mass produced, it could not.

Frank Hoffmann, CEO of Wunderlich explains that what he is doing by introducing these products to the public is to let more people know. "We want to show what is happening and set its standards," he said. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | VISORDOWN]
