FYI, here's how I got the car up to the Expo:



(Which prompted dcb to post a great photo with an idea for setting up a motorcycle-based EV pusher: halfbakery: motorcycle pusher for light EV )

I would probably have taken it and ran! Oh large format NiMH... you are so beautiful...

Ok, enough of the disturbing stuff.

Srsly though. ForkenSwift + Ovonics battery? I would have driven up friday and camped out under my car...

Gee, seems like I missed a good chunk of the good stuff although I was there from 10 till 3!

Here's a pic or two.









Ok, this one is not electric, but was the icing on the cake when I drove back to Quebec city.

Nice Ghia.

Oh, and looks like your mileage on the way home was pretty good too, according to your fuel log.

I've thought about the electric-boosted aero bike as an alternative to driving to work. I've come to the conclusion that biking 110 km there and back would be rediculous.
