Held every January in Las Vegas, NV, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) will feature a Greener Gadgets Techzone section for 2009. The exhibits will be displayed in Central Hall, and highlight pioneering technologies that benefit the environment and sustainability of global economy.

Amongst the crowd will be ELV motors, one of the first electric transportation companies to participate at CES. The company presents a whole range of "Fleet Certified" electric bicycles and electric and hybrid scooters. At its booth will be both the regular and police versions of the company’s 2009 A2B electric bicycle, equipped with a 500 watt, throttle driven motor.

Also to be displayed at the ELV booth include the 2009 Verde Motors VM3000H, a 3000 watt, 149cc hybrid scooter that can travel 45mph with 130mpg, a dual motor E-1600 all electric scooter which has a 1600 watt dual motor electric scooter and can travel 30mph for up to 40 miles per charge, and finally the UM24 electric foldable commuter bicycle— a 250 watt pedal assisted electric bicycle that can travel 16 mph for 20 miles.

"New hi-tech and stylish electric bicycles like the A2B, the fun to ride electric scooters like the E-1600," said President & CEO of ELV Motors, Inc. Douglas Schwartz, "the all new Verde Motors hybrid gas/electric scooters are great ways to save money while helping to save our environment,"

The company believes that these electric bikes and scooters will be perfect for anyone— including companies, fleets, security patrol, police, commuters, students, and vacationers— who want to save money in an environmentally conscious way.

What is the price point? If they are more expensive than a typical scooter, I'm not sure that the difference between getting 65 mpg and 140 mpg will be worth the extra cost.

Russ,

Yes an electric vehicle's price point that is higher due to extra engineering, batteries, management systems, etc.

With the total cost considerations, it may add up. But with the (for now) sharply reduced gas prices, the

numbers are quite different than they were in June 2008. Time will tell if gas prices stay low for very long...

and if the other benefits of electric vehicles are important enough to generate significantly higher sales.

For the record, I am one of the founders of ELV Motors and we are trying to help create some forward looking product to satisfy every day needs in a fun and cost effective manner. Do we have the perfect products yet? No, but we do have some compelling solutions so far that will only get better.

We invite participation and conversation to help us in this journey. On ELVMotors.com you'll see our interim site, so please excuse the dust, but we'll have more interesting and interactive features soon. So please say 'hi!'

Electrical Service Upgrade

Perhaps these will catch on in a few years, but for now it appears most consumers prefer the "normal" motorized transportation.

Great reviews on the different types of electric scooters. I’m a fan of electric scooters as well and I think they’re the best thing in the world as it’s environmentally friendly and friendly to our purse as well.
