How timely for the information and great contact info.
Just a minor digression as to why I am so excited with the post. I was interested in Electric Vehicle EVs back when EV1 and others were out. Then came a three wheeler called Aptera out of San Diego around 2007-08 time frame. I made a deposit to buy one but sadly the company closed its door just this year without producing a sellable car. Liquidation sale was held around Dec. 20, '11. I was very sad over it. So I started looking around. Then I was looking around HPV... Then light went off in my head. Why not put electric motor in HPV.
Can't find a manufacturer in US. The ones out of Netherland are stylish but not sure you can buy one around here. In fact I don't even know who sells them here or makes one here. Some of the ones I see in the US web site are sad. Sad design, looks wise and engineering.
My partner says design one and build it!! Sell it she says!! Well... not so fast. I want to see HPV up close and personal. So definitely, I'm interested in dropping by.
If there is a regular get together for those in HPV, I would like to meet the group.
I'm also painfully aware of the legal limits of what size electric motors are allowed on bicycles and still call it a bicycle. Limits to both speed and power of the motor.
Again thank you for the information.
ahhh but one thing. I just noticed the year as 2011. It's already passed. And your post also says 2011. ????

wrong year :-0
Thanks for catching my error on the year - this post is for the upcoming Memorial Weekend, 2012 - I've fixed it here, now I need to go to the other 5 or 6 forums I posted it to, and correct it there. Dang - and I proof read it over and over. And I had the rest of our race committee proof read it and they did not catch it either.
If you are on Facebook, you can friend me, and then see some of the groups - there are a bunch of HPV sites and a few local people. There is some discussion on the OHPV forums (link in first post above) and also on http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/index.php

PS: it was nice to meet you at the Scratch-N-Dent sale (I rang up your sale)
