Last Saturday, 4th of April at the San Jose Motorcycle Park, the race was on for the first ever? (correct me if I am wrong) electric motocross race.
The dudes at Wired.Com wrote a great story about it, and a cool video which I’m posting it here.
I taught that since the e.Moped project is still on its initial phase…maybe a good goal would be to build one for a competition like this, for now It was only meant for Zero Motorcycles, but who knows..I bet there could be a great challenge to open up for other brands…
With the new phase system on open projects, it is becoming easier to keep track on the discussion and to participate on the development of each project.
On the e.Moped project, I have started to discuss with Piers the points relevant to the Understanding of the world around electric mopeds. In this phase 1, we are defining the general uses and configurations for the moped we are going to build.
Today is the offcial start of the e.Moped Design Project. After having talked to some friends about Letsevo’s plans to start a open source project of an electric scooter, the wishes have finally come to reality.
I spent a a couple of hours programming and setting up the space for this project here at Letsevo.
Colaborators are wanted, we need engineers, electrical mechanics, motor developers, test riders, designers….any one wanting to evolve this idea further.
I know this a pretty daring task, to build such a vehicle from scratch. But for me, the wish of some day, be cruising around the neighborhoods on what we built, is much greater than the fear of failling. Not to mention having in the end, collaborated for more clean ways of transporting ourselfs around our planet!
