EVT 4000e

"if you buy an electric moped like my EVT 4000e, it will be the best money you spend. Ever. Quite simply, I have been blown away by it. It’s the best-kept secret on the roads."

"I love my EVT 4000E. Several times a week it takes me up steep hills and along a rough, dirt track to visit my horse. I was determined not to own a car when we moved her to a new yard half way up a Welsh mountain, and this scooter has made it all possible. It is pretty slow up the steep hills (15 mph) but it gets me there and has never let me down. I have done up to 30 miles on one charge"

Don Dunklee's DIY Solar Cycle

"To pull off this feat, he installed two sets of folding panels that generate 120 watts in good sun. The bike's batteries hold 2400 watt-hours, so a Michigan summer's 9 hours of daily sun charges the battery about 1/2 full. Don estimates his ride uses only 25% of that. So, even with the occasional cloudy day (unfortunately, not uncommon in Michigan) doesn't mean the bike is dead. But, just in case, the factory charging apparatus is still intact."
