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.

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.
