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.

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.

A song I wrote in ‘07 about working to create positive change, and starting with yourself.

Thanks for listening.

(Thanks to Chris Oroza for filming!)

lyrics:

It’s just more of the same changes
Headphones can only take me so far away
This is the point where I reassess my arrangements
It’s time to revert to what needs to be saved

Cause I’ve spent too long with my shoes on
Let myself start to play it safe
And my reactions became the factions of a misdirected race

Speaking of race, I’m compelled to run
Off the charts of what’s expected
Once again, I will channel the sun
Thinking hybrid; redirected

To finding melodies in the white noise
Secret passageways and doors
Trace the trails of forgotten flying creatures
I will never, never again ignore

Speaking of creatures, I’m compelled to fly
Off the charts of what’s expected
Once again, I will channel the sky
Thinking hybrid; redirected

A dive into the rain is an awakening; a sudden gust of wind
So as the storm brings forth the green progression
I too, will grow again

I am aware, awake, and able
I am digging in living land
Balanced, yet affected
Perpetual I climb
Above all, I am connected

Thinking hybrid; redirected
