THIS is going to cause ripples I shouldn't wonder. When the same performance comes from a motorcycle, then I'll be standing at the head of the line.

And after I spent this afternoon making up a frame to mount my 10 watt solar array on the rear of my tricycle to drive my 200 watt electric motor ... hmmph!!!!

Could you imagine the size of the pv array you'd need to regularly charge this item at home? Not on a postage stamp lot in the city!

I think now is the time for any electrician to start practising installation of 3-phase power gear. I think a lot of houses are going to be wanting it soon to "supercharge" and run the rash of electric vehicles coming on the market soon.

Now if only a decent electric motorcycle would come on the market.

And here it is. My dream come true. 140+ miles on a full charge with careful riding.

A bit on the bland side performance wise, but it's apparently ready to hit the market.
