About Whistler

Whistler has entered into an agreement to acquire, from NuAge Electric, 100% licensing rights, subject to a 20% royalty, to develop, manufacture and market two and three wheeled vehicles, and first right of refusal for all technology developed by NuPow'r, "Changing the way the world moves". This patented technology has allowed the team to test a new age electrical sports car at speeds of 125 mph for over 250 miles.

With the patented recharging system the car is ready for use in the time it takes to eat lunch, 10 times shorter than anything on the market today. Essentially, this Power System cuts the weight of battery packs by up to 75%, doubles or triples the range and speed of those electrical vehicles, and cuts the recharge time by 75%.

Our new product line already presents an extremely attractive alternative for a multitude of applications, not only in North America but also in Europe and South East Asia. Golf carts with a 100 mile range and on road speeds of up to 50 mph, Go-Carts, up to 85 mph, E-bikes and scooters and many others too numerous to list.
