Powerzinc announced that its iGO brand zinc-air fuel
cell powered electric bicycle had successfully passed
the evaluation tests jointly conducted by Shanghai Bicycle
Industry Association, Shanghai Bureau of Quality and
Technical Supervision, Shanghai Light Industry Bureau,
and Shanghai Urban Transport Bureau. The company is
now authorized by Shanghai Urban Transport Bureau to
distribute iGO electric bicycles in Shanghai. It opens
the door for Powerzinc¡¯s entry into the lucrative electric
bicycle market.
There have always been debates about the economic viability
of zinc-air fuel cell technology. The introduction of
iGO and the demand in the marketplace have proven its
feasibility. Consumers should respond positively to
the benefits that iGO can bring to them. iGO¡¯s range
can easily go over 200 km per refuel, and refuel takes
less than 5 minutes. Powerzinc also offers a lifetime
warranty as well as a unique anti-thief bicycle ID tracking
system. The technology behind this bike effectively
overcomes most of the obstacles that conventional electric
bicycles commonly have, and its commercial potential
is unlimited.
iGO features a dual power-source compatible design.
It can be powered by Zinc Air Fuel Cell or Lead-acid
Battery. Provides lower-cost entry point with lead-acid
battery, but also provides ¡°upgradability¡± to powerful
zinc air fuel cell. Model TDN0202Z comes in 3 different
colors: Light Metallic Blue, Rose Red, and Green, targeting
both male and female consumers. Patent application has
been filed. Powerzinc soon will introduce other models
to the market.
