Getting Take n' Bake Pizza without using gasoline
Cut some plywood to size, based on the size of your last take out pizza.
Make some little blocks of wood and a latch to hook onto the motorcycle's rear grab bar
Bungie it down.
Go to the pizza place, using no gasoline, on your electric vehicle.
Bungie-net your pizza. Note that the rack is designed for the EXTRA-LARGE size pizza. This one is a large stuffed-crust.
Take home, bake, and enjoy.
Yum!
Unfortunately, I also have to mow my lawn tonight, which DOES require gasoline!

Nice:-)
I need a rack for my bicycle, back pack doesn't always cut it.
I thought you had an electric mow now?
Right now I am using more gasoline mowing my yard than I use Diesel in my golf.

Unfortunatly, my lawn is too large for just the electric push mower.
Maybe I will take an old bike and attach it to that mower to make an electric rider!

My little homage to ben's rig on the ecomodder blog: http://www.ecomodder.com/blog/2008/0...hout-gasoline/
Really an inspiring idea...reminds me so much of the japanese delivery guys.

I'm getting ever closer to finding a dead motorcycle to convert...

Well, this was certainly inspiring to me... Although I went a slightly different route and didn't use any gasoline to get a 5$ hot and ready.
Biggest thing I've had on my rack, it held up fine up to 22mph (top speed) |

Another great post, Ben!
I occasionally use the ForkenSwift to get hot takeout (when riding the bibycle would let it get too cold). It's the only time I don't hypermile when I'm driving it either - late braking, full acceleration, the works. I don't feel guilty occasionally driving like that in an EV.

Doh!
I "upgraded" my web software and it decided to MOVE all my photos without telling me, so now all the links are broken!!!
Now I have to manually rename them and put a copy back where they started!!!!

I FOUND where I have to move image files to.
Now I just have to tediously pick through them one at a time..... 
I did start with the three in the Pizza pickup blog. |
