That's a cool looking foot-forward design, but I'm not sure I like the front
swingarm. 

Thanks,

Please dont save or link these pages in other posts or
forums yet!!!  The site I currently posted the pics on
compresses the photos.  When I upload them on the
Electricmotorcycles.net photo gallery this weekend, it
should be easier to read and in larger print.  Unless,
you have a photo editor that has zoom.

MAY 1967 CYCLE WORLD
Tom Swift Rides Again: The Saga of Armer Electric

Rollin Armer, a designer at the Lawrence Radiation
Laboratory at the University of California,
demonstrates his electric motorcycle made from two
batteries and a rewound starter motor.  This is a
favorable article for electric motorcycle technology.

NOTE: Tom Swift is a fictional children's character
from the early 1900's that solved mysteries and
invented machines (before the Hardy boys, I think).

I am not partial to the EC-02, but this video is
pretty funny.  Found a vid from the Discovery channel
in which the host tries out the EC-02.  During the
discussion, the battery is pulled out and shown.
Pretty good demonstration of some of its features.

Ahrg!  They're in that hideous ASX or whatever it is format.  I get 
video but no audio.

Several forklift and cart manufacturers have made
electric motorcycles in their past.

Early creators of the ParCar when made by the
Marketeer Company.  Amazing about the recurring theme
about fuel shortage in WW2.

Re: [ElectricMotorcycles] some electric motorcycle articles and vids

2005-11-21 Thread Doug Starwalt
Mike asked:
 You speak German, Doug?

I studied it two years and had a german buddy in college in Florida. We both
had 69 Mustangs and would spend the weekend wrenching on them. I helped him
restore his BSA (don't remember which one, but a 250 single jug). We would
also buzz around on his dad's Bimmer with me riding passenger. Great fun!

His mom would cook these big german dinners on Sunday night and after the
wine took effect, the conversations became bi-lingual. But, that was long
ago and now I depend on Babelfish and Deutsche-Welle for accurate
translations.

I would call myself literate on a 2nd grade level. ;)

Has anyone seen this article? 

I referring to this blurb on the Lectra forum:

Hi Mike
Just wondering if any of the group has seen the Jan 06
issue of Walnecks Classic Cycles magazine? It has an
article on page 136  137 about a 1977 electric MC
built by Transitron of Honulu, Hawaii. Doesn't look
too practical but at least they were trying!
thnx Iceman
