What about those of us with BMWs, who live in Canada and ride bikes as well? I don't see the connection, myself. When we buy electric cars (Volt, Leaf, or the upcoming BMWi) we can plug them into our cheap non-GHG hydroelectric grid and charge them for pennies. Does that make us eco-treehuggers?

Short hair here, and I think real jobs are over-rated. :rofl:

But carrying on with the hippy theme, how about the VW concept shown at Geneva? The Bulli (Transporter) is a retro-inspired van. Small, but seats six. Electric powered for the concept, but could be gasoline, diesel, or other. Reported to have a high chance of making it into production. I wonder if my bikes would fit in it?

More info here. I used this particular link just for those posters who think 'treehugger' is a putdown. :nanana:

That's one hell of a thought process on your response... someone suggests an altenative hybrid and based solely on your perception of its design I should sell my property, move to another country and ride a bicycle as an alternative form of transportation? off your meds or something today? :)

Patrick- According to the website, the base model (smallest battery) gets max of 160 miles per charge. I assume if you drive it faster, use the AC/electronics more, it gets far less mileage.
Also according to the site, one model gets 300! miles to a charge? and seating for 7. Where?

If anyone moves to Canada just based on what I posted in this thread... :rolleyes: c'mon guys, I take you for a more intelligent bunch that than ;)

More importantly, I think that VW Bulli bus looks GREAT! :D
