Going Media Mainstream???
« on: May 18, 2012, 03:05:28 PM »
Is it just me or this last month had A LOT MORE news about electric two-wheeled vehicles in more mainstream publications than, well, ever before (a little exaggeration, maybe)?  ;D

The release of the Empulse, Zero's business numbers, Zero's National Demo day, Zero's promotion, TTXGP, Audi's bike, the Smart Escooter, etc.

And I'm not even counting specialized blogs, just renowned motorcycle and automotive pubs. Just in Motorcycle USA, there has been a couple of stories per week. Even the June issue of Motorcyclist had a page on the Mugen's eSuperbike.

Things seem to be changing fast...  8)

I actually think there's more than a bit of truth to that.  The weather is warmer, racing season has begun, the product introduction cycle is underway, full moon, etc.
