Earlier today, Oakridge Global Energy Solutions, Inc.
(OTCQB: OGES) issued a news release announcing the company’s plans for the
commercial introduction of its groundbreaking Liberty Series lithium ion
motorcycle batteries at the 75th anniversary of the Daytona Beach Bikefest,
which begins on March 4, 2016. As part of these efforts, Oakridge will be
promoting and selling its innovative stored energy solutions from its booth at
Rossmeyer Harley Davidson in Daytona Beach. The company’s management team expects
the Liberty Series batteries to appeal to owners of iconic ‘Made in the USA’
motorcycles from manufacturers such as Harley Davidson (NYSE: HOG), Indian and
Victory, as these bikes feature large engines that require a powerful battery
to start.
“As avid motorbike enthusiasts, our team at Oakridge is very
excited to be commercially shipping our Liberty Series batteries beginning this
week,” Steve Barber, executive chairman and chief executive officer of
Oakridge, stated in a news release. “We are also excited to announce that we
will also be gradually extending our Liberty Series batteries to all other
brands of motorcycles, jet skis, snowmobiles and boats as well.”
Oakridge’s highly reliable battery solutions are expected to
be particularly popular amongst motorcycle enthusiasts as a result of the
numerous issues presented by legacy battery systems. Historically, bike owners
who didn’t ride at least every seven to 14 days were forced to purchase a
battery trickle charger, or tender, in order to avoid encountering a flat
battery when they were ready to ride. This expense, in addition to somewhat
frequent purchases of replacement AGM or lead acid batteries, has remained an
issue for bikers in the past. While lead acid and AGM batteries offer an
average lifespan of just 18 to 36 months, Oakridge’s Liberty Series boasts an
average lifespan of as long as 10 years, depending on the application.
In addition to offering improved reliability, as compared to
traditional lead acid battery systems, Oakridge’s ‘Made in the USA’ Liberty
Series lithium ion batteries also provide considerable weight savings.
According to the news release, riders who equip a Liberty Series battery can
shave the weight of their bike by as much as 17 pounds. This is because the
batteries’ anodes are constructed of lithium, the lightest metal in existence
with an atomic weight of three, as compared to lead, which has an atomic weight
that’s more than 27 times heavier.
“With my travel schedule over the past 30+ years, I have
been a frequent owner of flat batteries when I wanted to have a nice relaxing
ride,” Barber continued. “We have spent the past 12 months refining and
finalizing this product and are excited to announce that we are delivering the
Liberty Series product line to the public at the iconic Daytona Beach
Bikefest.”
