Werner Scheifele - Project Initiator, Construction

Following this degree as as Chem. Ing. HTL (1986), Werner Scheifele (1964) was development engineer at Sika AG in Zurich (adhesives for the automobile industry). Since 1990 he is member of the scientific research team at the electrochemistry institute at the PSI (Paul Scherrer Institute, related to the SFIT, Swiss federal institute of technology) in Villigen. 1994 he started his own business (50% of work time) as engineer at the Planetarium Zurich, responsible for projector design and construction. He started 1987 building the E-Bike as a private project. In 1989, he participated at the Tour-De-Sol with the E-Bike. Since then, he kept improving the E-Bike. In parallel, he started 1992 the project for a hybrid electric motorcycle under the name "HyBike".

After his degree as Dipl. electrical engineer ETH (SFIT) in 1990, Lukas Zeller (1966) worked as development engineer for hardware and software at MPL AG (industrial electronics). Since 1994, he runs his own engineering business, partly still working at projects for MPL (among others a PCMCIA memory card reader/writer, of which some units are used in space station MIR). He now works in software development.
