We recently got our Vectrix at Alien Scooters here in Austin. I’ll be there soon (as we get a week without rain) to give her a go.
OH! If you wanna keep an eye out on what’s available from an alternate fuel perspective you should check out this show on the Science Channel called CoolFuel Roadtrip. In the show, a team of Aussies(?) cross 30 states in the USA on everything but gasoline. Lots of talk about micro-hydro, corn moonshine, Grassolean, Darrryl Hanna and other organic, feel good, planet friendly stuff.
(caution, high level of Quiznos & Dell ads, talk of Mauniy Ants and Hyundai “Duh” commercials between show footage. I am looking forward to that Ecotech show they keep pimpin’ though.)
