"What we sell is alternative transportation for the urban commuter.  Our scooters are powerful, capable machines that will get you there and back without all the hassles of a car or bus.  We can show you how to utilize these scooters in ways that extend their capabilities to add even more usefulness for longer trips or hilly terrains.  Most of us will never give up the big hauling machine we call the 'car', but we don't always need to use the car for short errands or outings. 

Our scooters and bikes will get you there and back in comfort, style, and a range and power performance that should put these work-horses at the top of the transportation budget." - Jonny Electron

  Think Big - Drive Small

Size Does Matter!

A 3,000 lb vehicle ¹  to carry around a 200 lb person!? 

Is this energy efficiency?  Are you kidding?  It takes 14 times as much energy to haul around the automobile as it does the passenger! 

Break the mind-set!  Come into the light.  Light electric transportation.

Tanks for Transportation?   Not cool.  Except as a last resort, or in emergencies.  Rent one when you go visit the folks across country.  It's nice to live like a queen and get hauled around in a hundred or more horsed carriage.  But la de da, some of us are more practical and concerned for the consequences of "our" actions.  For us, there is Light Electrics.

Just driving electric is not enough: most of the country gets it's electricity to charge that monster vehicle from coal - which is NOT Clean, though it may be abundant and thus a potential domestic source of energy. 

Why do you think you need to ride in a carriage that, even the electrics, are using more energy to move it around than yourself?  How many horses do you need? One hundred horses?  One hundred and fifty horses?

Understand this:  competitive means efficient.  Those who are following current events know that, like it or not, we are in an open and global environment now.  As Mayor Giuliani pointed out in reference to the financial success of New York under his command, competition is the key.  Spending 14 or more times the energy on moving the vehicle over the rider is not competitive. 

What are you going to do?  Ride like a queen in her carriage, or sit high and proud on your one horse noble (electric) steed?   Electric power is the next generation, and smaller is better.  One less gallon of gas burned, and one less watt consumed is one minute of life for our increasingly fragile ecosystem.  [MORE]
