JAKARTA Two-wheeled producer from China, Yadea, again made a breakthrough by releasing the first electric motor that used a sodium ion battery. This revolutionary battery is claimed to be able to charge up to 80 percent in just 15 minutes!

Citing the Carnewschina page, Thursday, January 9, Yadea opened pre-sales for four electric motorcycle models equipped with this latest battery technology. The price of the tag starts at 3,299 yuan or around Rp7 million, making it an attractive choice in the two-wheel market.

The four models are Yadea Q1, Yadea DE3, Yadea G30 Lite, and Guanneng Q50, all of which are equipped with a smart traction control system to improve driving stability.

These motors rely on Yuji sodium batteries which have an energy density of more than 145 valid/kg. These batteries are capable of being recharged up to 1,500 times at normal temperatures and have a lifetime of up to five years with routine use. Unfortunately, the details of the battery capacity for these four models have not been fully disclosed.

However, for the Yadea Guanneng Q50 Sodium, it is known to use a Na+ battery with a nominal voltage of 48 V and a capacity of 24 Ah. This battery allows the motor to cover a distance of about 70 km in one full charge.

This motorbike is also equipped with a 400-W power TIFAR electric motor with a maximum speed of 25 km/h. Although it is classified as low compared to other electric motors, sodium battery innovation is the main attraction.

In Indonesia, Yadea has marketed seven models that include Yadea T9, G6, E8S Pro, Sparta, Dingding, Minion, and X-Bul. The presence of this new model can certainly be a fresh choice for electric motorcycle enthusiasts who want innovative technology and affordable prices.
