I was recently interviewed by LongRider Radio and they recently uploaded it to their website.  The interview touches upon a variety of the most often asked questions and I share a few stories about life on the road.  Feel free to share with friends who want to hear more about long range electric riding. 
Cheers!

Fascinating. I'll add this to the podcast list immediately. Thanks for sharing!

[Semper Why]

So I skipped a few of my podcasts to catch BenSwing's interview with Long Riders. Ben came across as a genuinely nice guy. It was kind of amusing at the beginning as the host had a little trouble wrapping his head around some of the day-to-day life of electric motorcycles. Overall, I think Ben did an excellent job of driving home the way he uses his Zero: Ride, charge & talk, ride some more. He may not be able to eat up as many miles in a day as an ICE bike, but eating up the most miles in a day isn't exactly the point of riding a motorcycle, is it?

BTW - I totally sympathize with Ben about his Least Favorite Road, I-95 around Washington DC. I hate it too.  Anyhow, Ben did a great job. Way to represent!

Speaking of which... are you planning on doing Rolling Thunder again this year? I think it would be amusing if the local electric bike owners did a Rolling Whisper. What a great name.

Thanks Semper, I appreciate the feedback!  Your idea about Rolling Whisper is awesome!  I would love to be a part of that but I have a wedding to go to that day.  However, now that there is probably a critical mass of riders in the area, that would be a great idea!  If several electric bikers participated and maybe had little signs printed for their bikes it would make a good statement. 

Great idea!
