Follow our Journey

NOW THAT WE’RE HERE,
THE REAL JOURNEY BEGINS




We’ve ridden through big cities and small towns, past lakes and over
mountains, through rain, wind and sun, recharging in the homes and
businesses of generous Americans, and sleeping on their couches when we
needed a rest. Through it all the bikes performed superbly, hitting 70 mph
on flat stretches, and going hitting up to 50 miles between charges once the
batteries broke in. Aside from swapping out a motor controller, we were
mechanically trouble free. But as excited as we are to have covered the
distance, and show what EVs are capable of, this trip has never been about
changing zip codes. It’s about changing perceptions. It’s about proving that
the real America isn’t broken corporations dumping billions into a doomed
enterprise. The real America is the same thing it’s been since the nation
declared independence. Smart, resourceful and determined. The bikes we have
are two-wheeled proof. And we haven’t really gotten anywhere until we can
hand that proof to someone who matters. Someone like Barack Obama. So yes,
we’ve ridden a long way, but now that we’re here, the real journey begins.

    If you guys would’ve performed a similar trip in Ukraine, for example from Donetsk to Kyiv, you should’ve brought a tent. For you’d have to wait for a looooong time for our president to show up.

    If only the president was anything more than an actor on the grand stage of Government Theatre.

    Politicians do not make calls. They take them. Only not from us.

    Good luck to you guys either way.

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.
