Start-up firm continues tradition of Nottingham's cycle heritage with e-bike launch

WAU Motors believes it could be the answer to traffic woes in cities

A Nottingham start-up company has launched what it is calling the answer to commuter congestion in º£½ÇÊÓÆµ cities.

WAU Motors was founded in 2017 by Linas Pozerskis, Crystal Drury, and Tony Pun.

It has developed its flagship Model X e-bike - and it has already sold £320,000 worth of bikes in 40 days

The bike, which is assisted by an electronic motor, can accelerate to speeds of over 15 mph and has a range of up to 220 miles on a single charge.

Linas Pozerskis, chief executive of WAU, said: "Launching the new Model X to the public has taken some significant sacrifices from all of the founders.

"Each of us has regularly worked 100-hour weeks and couch-surfed to put every penny into the project and we are very proud of the result.

“Our team is ecstatic to show how the Model X provides a solution to the developing urban mobility problem. This fifth iteration of our e-bike is the result of years of real-world user testing here in and similar cities across the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ.

“All of the years put into perfecting the bike paid off. At the end of last year, we achieved funding from a range of º£½ÇÊÓÆµ-based investors, which has enabled us to make our vision a reality.”
