AWARENESS OF EVs: UNDER CONSTRUCTION

2

When we emerged from Adrian City Hall there was a throng of people surrounding the bikes, including a bunch of construction workers, including one guy, John Lueder, who’s hardhat was covered with motorcycle stickers.
Choppers Inc, Wiseco Pistons, etc, etc. The kind of guy who wouldn’t be caught dead on an EV. Well one thing leads to another, and Brian hands him the keys to the Enertia. Then he was gone. For an uncomfortably long time.
And when he finally came whizzing by, he yells out, “I’m not bringing it back.” Eventually he did, with an ear-to-ear grin and a new outlook on the power of electricity.

    Although it may sound a bit corny, I in reality like looking after my hearing and whilst I do agree with the preceding poster and I really hope I do not get shot down for saying this, but I think it is essential to take all things in moderation.

Share an outlet

If you can give us access to a standard household electrical outlet, we can top-off and make it to our next stop. A full charge is only 30ยข and we're happy to reimburse anyone interested. So please email or tweet us so we can connect.

Share a couch

If you live along the route and we can crash on your couch or floor let us know. We'd be genuinely happy to meet and hang out with you, and we'd be considerate guests in your home. You can email us or use couchsurfing.com.

What We're Doing

Our plan is to retrace the route of the automotive CEOs who went to Washington DC asking for government loans. But instead of looking for aid, we'd like to present President Obama with a homegrown solution to the transportation crisis. And instead of flying in a corporate jet, we're riding Brammo Enertia powercycles. We're just a couple of guys who work for Brammo, but we want to show that there's a better way to get from Point A to Point B. And we want to have a little fun while we're doing it. So join us as we surf from plug to plug in a quest to meet Obama, fueled by nothing more than electricity and the kindness of everyday Americans.
