Electric Moto - what happened?!
xring:
I've been eagerly searching for updated information about the Electric Moto Blade... but can find hardly anything about it. Even the Electric Moto home website at http://www.electricmoto.com is now a dead link.
Does anyone have info on what happened?
Is Electric Moto is in business, but under a different name?
Where can I find either the Blade or the Blade XT?
Thanks in advance!

Let me know if you find anything. Seems strange they would go under after a press release like this...

Here is thier prompt response...
--- Quote ---The company is still in business and planning to ship bikes. The website issue relates to the Investment Management side of the business wanting to do their own more 'investor freindly' site I believe. Not sure how shutting the site down benefits that but thats what we're led to believe. We have to wait and see what they come up with.
The bike is still being developed and we are very pleased with recent changes to the energy system and frame design.

...
The company has recently delivered the first shipment of Blade XT demonstration motorcycles to its authorized European distributors which include: GoBlade (UK) and Freeride (France). Management believes that its historical focus on building consumer awareness in Europe coupled with the recent rise in demand for electric-powered vehicles in the region have created an extremely favorable business environment for the company. Electric Moto Corp. first unveiled aggressive development plans for the 'Blade' at the 2006 International Motorcycle Show in Milan.
