LOWRACER HYBRID -1-

Author: admin
August 16, 2010

#1

This bike may be my challenge!
Here you’ll see how to create a hybrid recumbent.
First it’s called “Lowracer Cobalt-Samarium”,
now it’s called “Lowracer hybrid”.

I must use the pedal power to charge batteries and to drive.
The combination with the generator,battery and the motors is only a replacement for the looooong chain.
Another advantage, the drive hasn’t any dead-center position cause the batteries are buffering the power.

August 14, 2010

Premier John Brumby today welcomed Australia’s first commercially viable, fully electric vehicles to the state, which will be a part of a groundbreaking Victorian Government trial.

Mr Brumby was joined by Roads and Ports Minister Tim Pallas and Mitsubishi Motors Australia President Masahiko Takahashi in Port Melbourne today as 20 Mitsubishi i-MiEV were unloaded at Webb Dock East.

“The plug-in Mitsubishi i-MiEV will play a part in the Government’s groundbreaking $5 million electric vehicle trial, due to commence later this year,” Mr Brumby said.

“We are committed to making this state an electric vehicle friendly location and we understand how important cleaner, greener and innovative travel options are to Victorians.

“That’s why the Victorian Government is currently working with the RACV to find around 180 households interested in taking part in an electric vehicle trial. The successful applicants will get an electric car for three months and we look forward to Mitsubishi being part of that trial.

“This world-leading trial will create real conditions by testing how drivers, vehicles, plug-in charging infrastructure and the electricity network will interact in real-life situations.”

Mr Brumby said the five-year electric vehicle trial was part of the Government’s $38 billion Victorian Transport Plan and would help to find new ways of making electric cars more efficient and practical for Victorian families and roads.

Damien Somerset talks with Marques McCammon from the Aptera Team about the design and market viability of the Aptera 2e. The Aptera 2e is a three wheeled vehicle and was designed for efficiency. This all-electric vehicle can achieve over 100 miles on a single charge. Plug into any standard 110 Volt household outlet for 8 -10 hours and you are ready for your next 100 miles. The shape was inspired by nature so that the vehicle seamlessly slips through the air as opposed to pushing air like most traditional vehicles. This when combined with the lightweight, high-strength composite body, and an estimated annual charging cost of less than $400 makes the Aptera 2e quite possibly the most energy efficient production vehicle in the world. For more information: http://progressiveautoxprize.org
