Kottayam: The hybrid two-wheeler has been developed by mechanical engineering students Hariprasad K.S., Arun P. Sunny, Amal R., Anand S. Kumar and Govind Krishnan as part of their final year project at the Mangalam College of Engineering here and has been christened HAAAG (an acronym for the names of its creators).
A unique feature of the vehicle is its 'mobile charging unit' (a generator) that would be initiated by the engine in the event of the battery running out of charge. Recharging will take place as the generator functions, thereby facilitating an unimpeded ride. In addition, the scooter can run on petrol.
However the braking system of the vehicle has also been given much importance. In addition to the disk brake installed in the front, a regenerative braking system has been employed in order to ensure greater efficiency compared to the conventional mechanical braking.
