Title: Electric Ride Schönau in German TV - with lots of Zeros
Post by: enaef on September 27, 2020, 03:17:40 AM
As we were about 20 Zero riders but only one Energica SS9 (and no LW), I do post this in this section.

Tonight we were in the TV News.
Mostly for those who understand a bit (or more) German.

One of the goals of the ride was to come into discussion with the locals who are particularly trubled by ICE Motorcycle noise. Schönau is in the black forests, well known for nice twisty roads for motorcyclists. Due to more and more noise there are laws in discussion, to prohibit loud motorcycles (not too bad ...) but also, for a quick "solution" some routs are being blocked for any motorcycle. So - public awareness about electric motorcycles has to be pushed ...

Those riders being interviewed are talking about the advantage of riding an electric motorcycle and necessary consequences for political decisions.

The local electricity provider - known for clean power - provided with free charging power of different types and a warm meal after the ride.

As you can see, the weather was veeeeery bad ... wet and cold. However, no insulation fault nor other problems occured as far as I know  :)

After being on fire that video of rain brought rather nice thoughts!

Very comprehensible!
We certainly would have let you in california have the rain of that day with pleasure.
However, the rain at night we would have kept to ourselves, as this rainy day followed several weeks of dry, sunny weather. Nature was happy with the rain.

Very nice effort to show for a wide audience what it is to have a group of EV motorcycle riders! Moved to "News" topic.
