not a true e-bicycle but very nice (video)

[gwhy!]

Think I have posted a link to this bike months ago before it went on sell, but now there is plenty of youtube vids for eye candy

Here's the web page http://www.parisvert.fr/2roues_electrique_etricks.htm

It looks like a neat machine. In Europe it's a Moped. It only weighs 37 kg. Maybe it's worth thinking about adding a pedal drive system.

I'm really impressed with the way this thing holds together. See http://www.sev-world.com/en/sev-live/videos-officielles There are guys riding hard on BMX courses, doing backflips,......

I can see LFP and John in CR liking this kind of ruggedness.

These people impress me with their rugged design and there publicity gathering skills: http://www.sev-world.com/en/actualites/evenements/traversee-des-alpes Riding over the Alps ( a good part of it with only onboard batteries no recharge) is pretty impressive. But the Alps thing was in Oct 09 and who had heard? Selling e-bikes/e-vehicles is TOUGH.

I think it is made by scorpa (or was it sherco) I know they were having some money trouble about 2 years ago when I very first seen this bike and the rumors were they were going to stop motorcycle production in favor of this electric bike. I think the bike is the bees knees . Just imagine this bike with a powerfull 6kw outrunner fitted Its not to badly priced also

I send them my CV and a letter considering an alternating curse, and talked to them over the phone, very friendly, but they really didn't need anybody for some time in the technical area , even if it cost them almost nothing with country subventions.
I was really interested to work there! I may phone them again by the end of July...
