Hi All:

___Although Eric is probably going to kill me for releasing this info the next time he sees me :angel: I just heard that there will be a total of 8 PHEV’s and one Hymotion/A123Systems conversion performed on site on Sunday at Hybridfest 2007! I have got to get me a little time behind the wheel of one of these monsters just to say I have ;)

___This is beginning to be more then just a little fun, I am practically a drooling lunatic ready for the asylum these past few hours with really great news arriving from all over the darned place wrt Hybridfest 2007 :D

___Good Luck

Which one? There are 3 in existence to my knowledge. I'm betting it's Willie's, because he loves a good road trip.

From their site:
The Neodymics™ bicycle-to-moped upgrade or BMU™ includes an integrated propulsion system, and is designed for replacement of the front wheel on any standard bicycle. It contains batteries, motor, transmission, drive electronics, and control mechanism. Integrated design means simple installation. The “power on demand” control mechanism is fitted to the bicycle steering column on an arm extending down to the drive electronics. Attachment or removal of the self-contained and self-propelled wheel is then instantly accomplished without tools using a standard quick release assembly.

Will the resurrected EV-1 be returning? I really really want to see one in person.

I was at Epcot Center in 96 or 97 and they had an Impact (EV-1 predecessor) on display. Silly me, I thought by the time I got out of school and got a good job I'd be able to buy one. :mad:

Search for the HybridFest 2006 thread and you will find a video clip of a red EV-1.

seen it, and I saw Who Killed the Electric Car? on the big screen. There's just no substitute for seeing it in person, touching it, and ... [drools on self] ... sitting behind the wheel.

The EV-1 will not be there this year. :( (although it will probably be less than 5 miles away in a lab.)

Instead the UW is bringing its diesel hybrid-electric SUV, a Chevy Equinox called Moovada.

Someone will hunt down the video here, but it is very rare in it's intact and runs. U of W students made a project out of getting it to run, as GM disabled the few they did not crush. The university got funding from several sponsors, which were splashed on the EV-1, NASCAR-style. The irony in my video clip is the giant blue Ford oval on that EV-1. :D

Diesel electric hybrid :thumbs_up:, SUV :thumbs_down:

No EV-1 :ccry:

Nice! I didn't see any pricing on the site. How much for a BMU?
