Trefecta DRT Hybrid Bike

This bike is very interesting, some lofty claims. I'm torn with the overall look of it, I think I like it…

Like a Bultaco Brinco http://www.bultaco.es/

My opinion is that they will not succeed , are motorbike field , but very close to the e- mountainbikes for me are more faithful to the sport.

Put wheels 26 " is a mistake, now the wheels are 27.5 " and carbon rims a major error.

I went to the Bultaco site and saw the "Rapitan" bike. The description says it uses ultracapacitors along with its battery. Other items of interest: a Hossack front suspension, and the claim of a huge increase in recovered energy due to their regenerative braking design. They claim, "the technology applied to the chassis maximizes the rear wheels’ adherence during braking, which enables a considerable electrical braking torque to be applied."

So this bike and the Sport version were to be launched in 2015. Any sign of it in the wild?
