Electric Vehicles = Motown ?

**Bigb23** · April-01-09, 08:03 PM

I would like to start this EV thread. What are the newest trends ? How cheap can we find vehicles ? Any and all replies would be appreciated.

I'm trying to post the low res stuff.

Not highly viable with a lot of hidden downsides like battery lifespan, weight, toxicity [[not very green) of the dead batteries, flammability/heat generation, poor performance in temperature extremes, and the electricity to recharge the batteries [[batteries only store energy) must come from somewhere...burning fuel for the most part [[coal, oil, nuclear, and a miniscule amount from wind).

This isn't electric but it is only 50cc powered.

Try a scooter, a skateboard, a horse...this is the direction Obama and the Greens wants us to go in.

Going way off "topic" and most assuredly not electric but someday I will find a way to get one here:

The Madass is awesome.

Personally I have a Ruckus. Or I should say my wife has one, she won it off Fox 2's web contest. I guess out west Ruckuses are ..... hot stuff with kids to customize and "gang ride".

You likely have seen the Kikker Hard Knock kit. That may be one of my projects of the future.

I've been a 50 cc "Monkey Bike" fanantic for years. They have at us in Europe and they're trends. Go Limey's.
