I saw this press release a month ago... taking a look at their web site the scooter doesn't seem to be all that inspiring. But maybe it's because I'm extremely turned off by the flash app running the site.
They appear to have two varieties - silicon batteries - lithium batteries - only 48 volts - a higher speed than I'd expect from 48 volts - but there appears to be several models but the web site is entirely confusing so I can't make much heads or tails out of it.
Phoenix, AZ, September 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Inspired by The Pony Express, E-CYCLES® has designed, developed and deployed the first of it's kind environmentally friendly electric motorcycle specifically for The Messenger & Delivery Services Industry.
The New Electric Messenger E-CYCLE® fully electric, reaches speeds in excess of 55+ mph and covers 60+ miles per charge (mpc), requiring only a 120 volt outlet to charge and costing less than 1 cent per mile to operate.
