Alpride E1 Airbag System

The E1 system is the lightest electrical system on the market. The entire E1 system weighs just 1,280 g, barely 150 g heavier than the 2.0 airbag system, making it without a doubt the lightest electrical airbag available on the market.

Supercapacitors are capable of storing electrical energy without any chemical reaction (unlike lithium-ion or lithium-poly batteries) and are thus not sensitive to lower temperatures, meaning you get the same performance from -30°C to +40°C. Supercapacitors are also lighter than "traditional" batteries.
