We got a tip from a monk with a cell phone. A monk with a cell phone? You heard me says Brooke, who shares a path in life with me. He said if you want to see His Holiness Dalai Lama you have to be here in 15 minutes. I got there in 10, clean and green.
How did you do that? I did it with the IZip HG1000 from Currie (currietech.com) . It’s my new toy that I keep on back of the RV. During my retail days the electric bike kept me zipping all around New York City, keeping my fingers on the pulse between the stores and also showing up for meetings sweat-free and carbon neutral. You can get speeds up to 15mph and in most cases you can get a range of 25 miles. It works great on level roads but on an incline you might have to work those pedals. When it needs charging you can just carry the battery inside and plug into a regular 110 outlet. For those 12volt off the grid people like me you can get a regular inverter that plugs into the cigarette lighter. The draw is about 1.5amps, pennies per ride. The cost was a little under $700 with shipping. After doing the math you will see that this is the future of city commuting.
