Why Go Electric?

"Your choice of transportation has a greater effect on the environment than any other choice you make as a consumer."

Why go Electric?

In recent years, electric motor and battery technology has advanced tremendously. Today's LEVs (Light Electric Vehicles) have clear advantages over fossil fuel powered vehicles in the areas of performance, ease of use and operating costs.

Plenty of Torque
With their sophisticated electronic controls, today's motors are more efficient and produce an abundance of torque even with very little throttle. A 1-horsepower electric motor has about the same torque as a 3 horsepower gasoline engine and the torque is immediate, on demand.

Quiet Power
Electric motors are quiet and give you an entirely different feeling when riding. Many gas-powered personal vehicles are louder than lawn-mowers and riding them is banned in many neighborhoods. Quiet electric vehicles seem to glide down the road with ease and are welcomed in most communities.

Clean Machine
There's no grease or oil to get to get your hands or clothes dirty. No foul exhaust or gasoline fumes and it never leaks oil. You can safely store an electric vehicle in your home or apartment.

Economic Ride
Electric motors cost almost nothing to run. Instead of burning up expensive fossil fuels every trip, electric vehicles are recharged by plugging them into the wall sockets. Given the rising gas prices worldwide, going electric makes good financial sense.
