While I am not much of a morning person, and was working late last night, once I woke up, I remembered that our friends at Evolution Marketing were going to be showing off their new Nissan Leaf at the market today.

Crashing the Electric Motorcycle

June 30, 2012

It was a sunny spring afternoon, when I tested the limits of electric vehicle design, physics, and human flesh…. It’s summer already, and you may not have seen me around the usual web forums as much lately. I definately haven’t been quite as busy working on clean transportation projects. If it feels like I’ve been […]

EV Cycle – Hacking the Tank

May 22, 2011

In the end, the gas tank is really only going to be a cover. I already chopped the bottom off the […]

October 17, 2010

A while back, our friend Chris started an electric motorcycle conversion. His only experience prior to that was owning a 49cc gas scooter. So, he’s been learning as he goes about motorcycles, batteries and motors, and electronics. He’s been pretty busy as a college student, so lately there haven’t been too many updates on his […]
