What will be the range after they add the 3000 watt obnoxious sound delivery system?

Then the sunny Sunday come along and you want to take a 300 mile cruise. Oops!

My Grandpa courted Grandma in a bull-cart. A little messy, but the recharging was pretty cheap. For short hauls that’ll do.

When I was in Bermuda, I learned that visitors may not rent a car - at least, not a traditional car. All that was available were 50cc motor scooters or - only recently - mini electric cars.

In particular, Renault Twizys.

It is kind of a neat looking motorcycle. But it seems unlikely that it will catch on.

I believe that electric powered scooters, bicycles and motorcycles make more sense than electric cars. I put an 800w “Golden” brand electric hub motor on a bicycle. It was a good quality item and worked quite well. 800 watts is approximately 1 horsepower which is more than even professional cyclists can put out for extended periods of time. With the battery pack that I installed it would do approximately 30 mph for about an hour. It cost just pennies to recharge. This is faster than legal store bought electric bikes will go and mine cost a fraction of the price along with a little elbow grease.

Even though it cost very little to operate... it did not fit my needs and I ended up selling it for significantly more than I had into it. I made enough money that I considered putting more of them together and selling them as a side business.

Mr. Leno is a very nice guy. Met him last weekend, as he walked into the Burbank, CA place where I was having lunch with a couple of buddies. He was driving his 1918 Pierce Arrow Model 66, the very one he featured on his show. He very graciously spent 15 or 20 minutes showing the car, lifting the hood, sharing it’s history. It was a cool car, and he was the most normal guy you’d ever want to meet. Car nut extraordinaire. Love the passion.
