February 13, 2009 (FinancialWire) -- Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ABAT) is planning to debut three hybrid motorcycles jointly developed by the company and Wuxi Angell Autocycle Co., Ltd, at the Dealer Expo 2009 from February 13 to February 16, 2009 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

All three models are equipped with a lithium-ion battery pack (48V rated voltage and 15 amp hour rated capacity) developed by the company. The computerized control puts the motorcycle on pure-electric drive at low speed, and switches to the gasoline engine at high speed while recharging the batteries. The new design greatly increases total driving distance and optimizes the use of electric power to achieve 35% pollution reduction and a 20% increase in fuel efficiency, compared to comparable gasoline motorcycle engines.

Zhiguo Fu, chairman and CEO of Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc. stated, ''We expect the production version of the three models to go into full-scale production in April 2009 and will be sold under the co-brand of Angell and ABAT USA."
