The early history of electric motorcycles is somewhat unclear. On 19 September 1895, a patent application for an "electrical bicycle" was filed by Ogden Bolton Jr. of Canton Ohio.[1] On 8 November of the same year, another patent application for an "electric bicycle" was filed by Hosea W. Libbey of Boston.[2]
At the Stanley Cycle Show in 1896 in London, England, bicycle manufacturer Humber exhibited an electric tandem bicycle. Powered by a bank of storage batteries, the motor was placed in front of the rear wheel. Speed control was by a resistance placed across the handlebars. This electric bicycle was mainly intended for racetrack use.[3]
The October 1911 issue of Popular Mechanics mentioned the introduction of an electric motorcycle. It claimed to have a range of 75 miles (121 km) to 100 miles (160 km) per charge. The motorcycle had a three-speed controller, with speeds of 4 miles (6.4 km), 15 miles (24 km) and 35 miles (56 km) per hour.[4]
In 1919, Ransomes, Sims &amp; Jefferies made a prototype electric motorcycle in which the batteries were fitted under the seat of the sidecar. Even though the vehicle was registered for road use, it never went past the trial stage.[5]
In 1936, the Limelette brothers founded an electric motorcycle company called Socovel (Soci&eacute;t&eacute; pour l&rsquo;&eacute;tude et la Construction de V&eacute;hicules Electriques or Company for research and manufacture of electric vehicles) in Brussels. They continued production during the German occupation with their permission. Due to fuel rationing, they found some degree of success. But after the war, they switched to conventional models. The electric models remained available until 1948.[6][7][8]
During World War II, compelled by fuel rationing in the United States, Merle Williams of Long Beach, California invented a two-wheeled electric motorcycle that towed a single-wheeled trailer. Due to the popularity of the vehicle, Williams started making more such vehicles in his garage. In 1946, it led to the formation of the Marketeer Company (current-day ParCar Corp.)

The year 2020 was one of the most challenging in memory for trade across Asia. Covid-19 sent shockwaves across economies, tensions between the United States and China continued to rise, and the World Trade Organisation faced intense political pressure to reform. A wave of optimism came with the start of 2021 as countries began to roll out vaccines and regional and global economies rebounded, raising hopes of an imminent return to a semblance of normality. As we look ahead to the rest of 2022 and beyond, what themes and trends will underpin the practice and policy of trade in Asia? Will technology adoption be a key factor driving trade? How will trade tensions between China and the United States play out? How will COP26 and a renewed push for sustainability affect businesses and policy in the region? And with the RCEP expected to come into force, what are the opportunities for businesses in Asia?

The shipping industry is often described as a ‘conservative’ industry, with a tendency to be slow to adopt new technologies not mandated by regulation. However, with an estimated 80% of all goods transported by sea it is in a position to influence great change across the supply chain. Blockchain technologies represent one such way: a shift to accept electronic bills of lading earlier this year by MSC means all parties involved in a cargo shipment booking can now issue, transfer, endorse and manage documents through a single network. What opportunities do technologies such as blockchain bring for the supply chain in Asia? Will they allow for greater transparency and efficiency – giving all partners in the supply chain the opportunity to simplify processes and remove paper waste for example? What are the cost benefits involved? What technologies are emerging that will enhance processes for shipping companies?

Problem
Ageing infrastructure is a pressing global issue. Underwater structures need to be inspected regularly to sidestep unforeseen disasters like bridge collapses, dam bursts, etc. Presently, human divers are used for routine inspections. However, these come with a set of drawbacks like human limitations, hazardous conditions, inaccurate post-inspection data analysis, and non-digital reporting.

Problem
For mitigating climate change, the shift away from fossil fuels needs to happen today. Existing technologies for green hydrogen production are lacking with timelines for sustainable deployment slated for 2050. For communities and business, this is simply unacceptable, and we need to make hydrogen available today.

Solution
Ossus Bio is disrupting the hydrogen market by providing hard-to-abate industries with hydrogen gas on demand by utilizing their own effluents as feedstock. The potential for hydrogen gas generation from industrial effluents amounts can be as high as 10 tons/day, enough to completely replace the use of fossil fuels at site.

Differentiator
The OB HydraCel uses biological catalysts for effecting the conversion of the dilute carbon content of effluents into hydrogen gas. The process of building these catalysts is proprietary to Ossus as well as the device which houses these catalysts in the form of a retrofittable hardware device, with minimum footprint and power requirement.

Live from Hong Kong: Hong Kong&rsquo;s continued role as a gateway to China Traditionally, Hong Kong has been regarded as the West&rsquo;s route to trade with China, but as China continues to open parts of its markets to international investors and businesses, how should the city position itself for the future? Can it still facilitate connections to the mainland through the Greater Bay Area and the Belt and Road Initiative? Or should it look to other opportunities, such as the possibility of re-establishing itself as the pre-eminent port in Asia by incentivising the shipping industry and launching itself as a regional hub for refuelling vessels running on liquefied natural gas (LNG)? Would this help increase incoming trade and reduce costs for imports and exports? What other opportunities will present themselves through the RCEP, and how can Hong Kong take advantage of them?

Start up Talks - Breakout ideas, Energy startup ecosystem readiness

Pannel Discussion

As part of China&rsquo;s 14th five-year plan, from 2021 to 2025 the dual-circulation strategy (DCS) requires China to emphasise the building of a self-reliant domestic economy whilst maintaining its share in global trade. From an internal standpoint, the DCS reinforces the Made in China 2025 plan, China&rsquo;s long-standing ambition to become self-sufficient in manufacturing by rapidly developing ten high-tech industries. From an outward facing perspective, China will look to increase the importance of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to ensure access to markets in the emerging world. What does the DCS mean for the region and how does it impact ASEAN, China&rsquo;s number one trading partner?&nbsp; &nbsp;
