Saw Electric Things Yesterday

Not a lot new, but it was surprising to see how much is out there, all gathered in one place.

The Montreal EV Show was small for a car show, but surprisingly big for a ‘niche’. All the usual things were there, BMW i3/i8, lots of Teslas, a new all electric Smart, Nissans, Chryslers, Fords, GMs and a Porsche Panamera E-hybrid. But also a ton of motorcycle startups/custom builders, and a million different electric bicycles.

All my potato pictures sucked, but have an assortment of wheels, via a $77k Sora electric motorcycle with a CVT

An electric T-Rex (pretty sweet in person)

And a truly terrible picture of a Karma Revero, which really doesn’t deserve any better.

Nice bike but that’s a lot of scratch

Its absolutely nuts. And why a CVT? They must be going for some sort of top speed record, yet has no bodywork. But it does have wood inlays around the speedo.

Is the t-rex using the exhaust as storage or was it a hybrid setup?

#buzzwords because hipsters are familiar with CVT’s from their base Subarus and don’t know how to shift for themselves? But it’s electric, a single speed should be plenty.

Ha! Shoot, I posted the wrong pic. The drab olive one was gas, the white was electric. When I get back to my phone I’ll fix that.

Figures, I kind of hoped it had a hybrid setup, that would be pretty cool.

Definitely no room. You’d be lucky to bring a sandwich

This is why I was kinda excited. They are extremely tightly packed. You got to love the super well thought out standard Givi bags slapped on the sides.
