I have put the new Electrom1 frame into service with a basic seat and cargo rack while I work on the bodywork molds, lighting systems, and many other aspects of the new bike.

In order to free up some space in my cramped shop I decided to take the old prototype up to Hornby Island, where I have some storage space.

It would be a 210 km trip door-to-door with 3 breaks in order to take ferries and I estimated that I had enough battery capacity to just make it. But to be safe–batteries are expensive, and they hate being run all the way down–I
stopped for lunch in Parksville and charged for 45 min. I made a short film of the trip using time laps and film.

A short video of the Electrom exercising the right of a bicycle to roll up onto the sidewalk and park. It’s very handy to be able to park right in front of your destination.
