James May, Top Gear: "This is the Future of Motoring"

[NickB79]

1. We've already seen "The Future of Motoring"

Only, it doesn't involve much "motoring":



Maybe a few battery-fed pedal assisters and a scooter or two....

2. +1

That's what my tax return will be spent on this year.

3. I like the ZEV, you can get one with a 750 watt engine

And in many states that is still a Bicycle.

They have others, including larger engines that are clearly Motorcycles under the law:

You may want to read my report on Leed E-bike Electric Kit. It is a good kit once you understand and accept its limitations (including the fact a 250 watt electric engine is good only on flat roads).

5. I am leaning to the Cargo version, but I have used the LEED E-bike Kit.

If you read my report, posted on the Bicycle forum of DU. you will read my comments on the LEED E-bike kit. A good Kit but weak. You have to pedal with it except on flat terrain.

My report on the LEED E-bike Kit for $1099 Dollars:

ZEV appears to be a company committed to Two Wheel Electric transportation, not only what people would call Electric Bicycles, but also larger more powerful electric motorcycles.
