Hybrid technology to be featured at Sydney Scooter Expo

Ajoint venture between Fusion Hybrid Engineering and Victorian-based company, DPM Engineering, the FMH (Freedom Modern Hybrid) Sayza is a hybrid scooter being developed for the Malaysian market. FHE and DPM are currently devising a business model to also bring the two-wheeled hybrid technology to Australia.

The FMH Sayza consists of a 125cc combustion engine with a rear-hub electric motor. Drive is through a dual action magnetic clutch and the choice of power is controlled by a 3-way selector switch on the handlebar. Riders can select petrol only, electric only or let the on-board control unit decide.

Claimed key advantages of the system include a 30-40% reduction in fuel usage and a 50% reduction in emissions at low speed. DPM Engineering are promising no reduction in performance to a similar capacity scooter, in fact they are claiming better performance under heavy acceleration.

The Expo will feature displays of all teh big scooter brands, scooter gear, services, a show & shine, all-dayBBQ, and more. Best of all, there will be an opportunity to test ride some of the scooter's on display.
