Green Drive Expo – Madison, WI

Thanks to everybody who came out and said hello this weekend at the Green Drive Expo in Madison Wisconsin!

We had lots of fun showing off my electric motorcycle, the Solar-Power Wheels, and Thomas’ Electric Leopard car. It felt like the power-wheels was the sleeper hit of the show. Lots of families were checking it out, and all the kids loved it!

There were plenty of familiar faces, and lots of new people to meet. Commercially available electric cars have gone mainstream, and there was a large presence of Nissan Leafs at the Show!

Some of my favorite cars on display were the unusual combination of vehicles brought by Foreign Car specialists – The EV-1, an X-Prize entry, a Isetta, and a chopped old-school Citron!

A Chevy Volt on display had a bike rack, with two bicycles hanging off the back end. Thank you to that owner for thinking ahead to show how electric cars ARE real cars, capable of handing all your needs, including heading out to the bike trail!

Saturday evening, my buddy Tim and I headed over to have dinner with the Community Supported energy group, a diverse group of folks working on everything from gasification to methane digesters and alcohol fuel! (Notable were David Blume and Jeff Lindow. )

Sunday had plenty of families coming through, and the Solar Powered Power Wheels really got put to work giving out test drives!
