Hi Steve!
Why don't you give me a call and we can discuss your interest in
becoming a ride center further. I can provide some insight from my
personal experience here in the Pacific NW as a Ride Center owner and
also as a Territory Manager setting up other ride centers for Electric
Motion Systems. You are correct in your thinking about the role that
the E+ can play as our country transitions away from fossil fuels and
toward alternate energy vehicles. This is a fine product, and a great
way to reduce dependence on oil, cut ones personal carbon footprint by
50% or more, get in better physical shape, and have a lot of fun while
doing all of that. This is equally true for individuals or even large
institutions.
Here is one example. I am working with a major university in Oregon
that is about to test the E+ as a new vehicle category to add to their
campus motor pool. They manage over $5 Million in vehicles that are
leased or rented back to the various departments or members of the
staff & faculty to meet their professional transportation needs. They
are interested in the E+ because of its outstanding performance,
rugged construction, and ease of operation...it is a bicycle. Many
times people come to them and rent a full size car to transport one
person around the university campus for a day or two while attending a
conference or meeting. What a huge waste of resources! The E+ is a
perfect solution offering speed, reliability, and easy safe operation
while remaining 100% emission free. Having a fleet of E+ electric
bicycles will also greatly reduce the costs associated with the
maintanance of the cars that they will replace.
