Yea Larry, if you are always tied to a dock in the US, you would not
need somthing like this, and not being street legal would be revelant, but if you are a long range cruiser, say crusising Thailand, and your trawler battaries went to crap, and you had to pack new ones back to the boat, I would find this bike a lot more useful than a electric scooter, and you could jumper the new boat battires to your scooter, and it's still not going to make it back. You may not have a use for this bike, but I posted this here because some might find the info useful. -- SeeYaa Harbin Osteen KG6URO!sdohtem noitpyrcne devorppa-tnemnrevog troppus I - "Larry" wrote in message ...

You can fuel it from your own fuel tanks, and cruise from your ancorage to explore, or restock your supplies that you may have to lug for some distance. This has been a problem for some who cruise the cannals in Europe, where some barges are large enough to carry a car, some are not. I wonder how may "miles-per-centrifugal-clutch" it gets on biodiesel? I remember centrifugal clutches from many small vehicles. "Self- consuming" comes to mind. Note to boaters....it ISN'T street legal in the USA. Point moot. Those concerned with the environment can reduce emissions to zero by NOT buying one of these and STAYING HOME.

Also not street legal, but our cops treat it like a geriatric electric vehicle so you can ride it on the scooter-friendly sidewalks without harassment...(c; Recharges in about 3 hours from dead. -- There's amazing intelligence in the Universe.
