Its a Brand New World!



It has occurred to me that most people don't realize just what an amazing world of Electric Vehicles exists beyond the fabulous (and expensive!) Tesla Car. So this blog is going to be focusing on anything related to getting around with electrified wheels-- be they 2, 3 and sometimes 4 wheels! I also want to introduce you to some of the folks who use them, those who make them and what's under the hood so to speak. Electric vehicles like what I work with every day are incredibly simple, elegant machines that are easy to care for, easy to use and best of all will not run up your electric bill. Allow yourself to move past the poor quality, cheap stuff that was sold at street corners a few years ago. Envision a comfortable, quiet way to commute instead, that uses less natural resources to make, consumes less $$ in maintenance, doesn't pollute the air or water with the whole item recyclable at the end of its life. Even if you can't 'see' the environmental impact; the value from not stressing from nasty traffic snarls, creeping traffic and inhaling gas fumes are all symptoms that we can connect with on our daily treks.

The public's obsession with mileage belies the fact that 80 to 85% of us travel less than 30 miles per day. Allowing that some professions require long distance travels, in general, an electric vehicle will cover the distance for less $$, no pollution and a few pennies to recharge. Take a look at Alien Scooters, where the total focus is electric vehicles. Welcome to my world! the world of electrics.
