I decided to write this little piece to inform the world that I am officially launching an international motorcycle club, which aims to promote the adoption of alternative energies by enhancing the sense of community and support for EV riders. From this humble beginning, I'd like to see this organization grow exponentially, hence its name (a close spin off of Einstein's E=MC^2) EMCsquared or Electric Motorcycle Club Squared.
The main goals are:
1. Recruit members- get in on this EV action
2. Organize all electric road trip to Sturgis, SD
3. Bring back a privatized version of California's old "cash for clunkers program", which lost funding and is desperately needed to help control air quality.
The ultimate goal is to ride and have fun in the most environmentally friendly ways possible.
There was some thought about referring to it as an electric motorcycle gang, but I'm not so sure we'll be causing that kind of racket.
Check out the website at:
http://www.emcsquares.com/ -the website is still underway... I get busy with other things .
Update11/16/13:
I have decided to build a trike instead of pulling a battery trailer, as I already have many of the parts and I wondered how I the smaller motor in my motorcycle would fare on such long periods- the damn thing can only do 8 horsepower continuously, which will be exceeded on steep hills and when wind kicks up. It also goes toward my goal of a "no excuses electric vehicle".
I have the transaxle and rear chassis of a 71 VW Beetle and will be mating them to the front of my Honda Interceptor.
