Top Gear USA & HPC Revolution

Top Gear USA had a segment which includes the HPC Revolution.
This is the best presentation of an e bike in any media that i have seen so far.

Saw it earlier today. Great exposure/ebike!

no way they could have won with the car. the bike is always faster in the city. and it's only a 10mi race.

Totally legal too.

Cool video, whats up with the camera angles. They didn't show the ground or the bottom half of the bike or car the entire video.

I wish my bike could go 100 miles...actually no I would be way too bored after 30

Killer product placement by the HPC folks, I wonder how much it cost? If TV auto-journalists are anything at all like print moto-journalists, exposure like that isnt free. Kudos to HPC for great marketing!

And it was all on pavement, not ripping up MTB trails! It's just too bad Top Gear has gone off the air for good this week as per Rutledges recent posts. The Cuba show is the very last episode to be taped.

I wondered as well. I guess this was screened from a tv screen filmed with a cell phone.

One of my customers came in today and saw my genesis/mxus ebike. He then starts talking about this Ebike he saw on TV and couldn't remember the name of the TV show. Because I saw this on this forum I immediately said "Was it Top Gear". He goes that's the show! Then we go on and on for a bit, one of my employee's has a 110cc pocket bike so we were playing around with that too.

It's good to get this kind of exposure. This conversation wouldn't have happened otherwise. I wish there was a way to get more Ebikes on TV so everyone wouldn't look at me so crazy when im going 40mph down the breakdown lane with a full face helmet on a bike.
