Z Electric Vehicle Corporation says it is now producing the world’s longest-range electric scooter
The ZEV7100 T claims a range up to 100 miles, achieved at constant speeds around 50 mph. Its top speed while riding upright is 75 mph and, at highway speeds of 65 mph, it can run for about 40 miles. The battery itself reportedly is 50 percent larger than that of the vehicle’s predecessor, the 7100.
The design is a hybrid between a motorcycle and a scooter. Features include a finned motor which, when running at full power for an hour only heats up to about 7 degrees above ambient temperature, tested on a day with 70-degree weather.

The world's fastest electric scooter, the 7100 watt ZEV
(Copied from http://www.gizmag.com)
I also rode the world's fastest electric scooter, the 7100 watt ZEV, and I can tell you that it is a rocket ship fast enough to safely get you through hostile urban traffic and more than quick enough to pull you clear of traffic at the stoplight Grand Prix. It and the top-of-the-line Vectrix which is only slightly slower, offer just about everything you need from an electric commuter. The ZEV has two stages of braking - the first offers regenerative braking from the rear wheel and essentially slows the bike quite rapidly, but a bigger handful of the brake lever brings in the front disk and ample enough stopping power for any situation.

"We have the world's fastest production electric scooter and I intend to keep it that way - if you build a faster one, I’ll build another that will be faster than yours." |
The ZEV also has three speeds, operated by a sequential shift button on the throttle grip - 1-2-3-2-1 style just as in Formula One cars, though with a few less ratios available - and the combo offers better acceleration than almost any car. I spoke at length with ZEV founder and chief engineer Darus Zehrbach and Darus was quite clear about his intentions with the brand and future developments.
Darus was also clear on his intentions to eventually develop the brand into a full range with high-performance electric motorcycles at the high end, and electric bicycles and mountain bikes at the lower end. It was patently clear that more power and range is on the way for his scooters too.

First electric Trike Taxi
for Puerto Princesa International Airport
September 11, 2010
Mayor Hagedorn of Puerto Princesa, Palawan ordered the first in a fleet of 50 electric tricycle taxis, (eTraxi) for Puerto Princesa International Airport from GreenTech EcoCenter. It will be the first eTraxi assembled in PPC with local labor making the fiberglass body. The project is part of Hagedorn's vision of preserving the clean air of the city along with providing new jobs for the people.
Mayor Edward Hagedorn is a pioneer in electric trikes. He and a team headed by Mr. Rolly Conception created the first electric tricycle in the Philippines in 2006. This is the ongoing clean air project to continue his and the council's vision to keep air pollution down in Puerto Princesa by eventually converting all of the 4000 gas powered tricycles over time to all electric.

This project will create new jobs for the people of Puerto Princesa by traing electric mechanics, fiber glass body makers, welders, and trainers.
PHuv makers of the electric Jeepney plying the roads of Makati, and Green Tech EcoCenter have teamed up to create a new hybrid to conform to the needs of the airport trike.

Dying man- His wish to ride his Electric trail bike
August 25, 2010
Environment Friendly Online store received an order for a ZEV5100 Trail and long range Utility electric bike. It is the world's first street legal electric trail and dirt road motor scooter! It can take to the pavement and serve as a commuter bike. The lead time on production is normally 90 days.
Shortly after the order was placed the man wrote an email politely asking if they could speed up the production since he was diagnosed with a fatal liver disease and he may not even have 90 days to live! His only wish is to be able to ride and enjoy the E-trail/utility bike as much as he can before he dies! ... read more

ZEV comes out swinging: lays claim to world's fastest electric scooter

American manufacturer ZEV has issued a fairly blunt challenge to other electric motorcycle manufacturers such as Vectrix, Zero Motorcycles and Brammo, by claiming to have the fastest and most powerful production electric scooter on the market in its US$7237 ZEV7000.

Eagle Electric motorbikes- Philippines
Thursday, April 8, 2010 - The new 1500 watt Eagle motorbikes arrived in Puerto Princesa and Manila shops night before last. These are stronger than the 1000 watt units that Green Tech EcoCenter staff have been driving for 3 years now.
Dave first bought several Eagle Ebikes for himself to test when we lived in Subic Freeport. We have been hooked on them since. Dave, being the EV enthusiasts and user, realized the need to also service the units and has made sure that no matter where you buy one, you won't be left with no one to turn to if you need a new part or service. I went around to traditional gas motorcycles shops today and it seems these E bikes are cheaper than some 125cc models.
 Dave Dewbre in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines. Showing an expat how easy it is to ride the electric otor bikes. Having been around them and seeing them used by staff, it seems they are pretty maintenance free. Not having to fill up with gas is a real joy. The quiet, noiseless and zero smoke ride makes it a real pleasure to be on.
It's not as fun in PPC to drive them as it was in the Subic Freeport housing area. But for practical purposes like sending the staff on errands,they are still reliable and cheaper to operate than the gas versions. Hopefully someday, PPC will go all electric and dispense with the gas belching, noisy traditional gas motorcycles and tricycles.
Dave used to take Alysha for rides in a kangaroo type baby harness since she could hold her head up by herself. You can see how happy she i s! |

June 13, 2009 - Mayor Ed Hagedorn of Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines wanted to know if our environment friendly 3000 Watt electric motorcycles would pull an old existing Palawan side car. These sidecars are mounted on gas burning motorcycles, thus becoming a tricycle. That same day Dave Dewbre, EVC/CEO, designed a mounting system and took it to a local welder who had it ready at 8am the following morning!
The electric powered bikes were tested by Mayor Ed Hagedorn together with Dave Dewbre, EVC (Electric Vehicle Consultant), and Willy dela Cruz, CEO of Eagle Motorcycles, as part of the electronic vehicle feasibility study for Puerto Princesa’s existing gas fueled tricycle problem. Mayor Ed Hagedorn, known to be an environmentalist, is aware that eco friendly transportation is vital to the Puerto Princesa’s progress, thus seeking different options on how to minimize air pollution without jeopardizing Puerto Princesa’s growth and the livelihood of his people.

It’s not often that I say something like “Wow” when I look at a scooter or moped. I don’t generally like them. This one is different. The XM-5000Li electric moped has a lot of great features for such a low-priced machine, including a boatload of power. Most mopeds are underpowered little things without much excuse for their existence. Not this one. ... read more
