Electric Folding Commuter Bicycle Beta 1 Video
August 7th, 2010 by peter
We are proud to release a video about the folding bicycle prototype I’ve been riding this past year. It’s been by far the best bike yet. Not only does it have ridiculous amounts of power, but the weight is finally below that magic threshold where it get too difficult to lift– roughly 45lbs. It was ridden through San Jose’s Indian summer heat and the pouring rain of winter without a single hiccup (hint: the electronics are wrapped with rubber).
We’re looking at building the next iteration, where we’d like to tame the top speed but improve hill climbing performance, a handy feature in San Francisco. Stay tuned!
Without further ado, here is the video (you can also watch it directly at Youtube here in full 1080p HD):
We had a lot of fun filming this video and spent many hours editing. Thanks to Mike Steczo also for the sound track! Also dear readers, note the homage to Jeremy Clarkson near the beginning…

San Francisco Will Have New Bikes Lanes
August 7th, 2010 by peter
For a “progressive” city, San Francisco’s bike infrastructure isn’t much to talk about. I hadn’t even realized bike lanes had been held up in court for years now. Well, not anymore. Read more at SFGate.

Maker Faire 2010 is Approaching
March 23rd, 2010 by peter
The Maker Faire Bay Area 2010 is exactly two months from today. Exhibitor applications opened up a couple of weeks ago but we wanted to get it done in style so it took a little while to put the entry together, but the submission went in today. Apparently, we’ll hear back April 7th whether we’re in– stay tuned. (UPDATE: the application was accepted!)
This year, it’s going to be a trip to the future with a retro twist. Check out the video!

Take Flight For Kids
August 19th, 2009 by peter
HybridMojo displayed the tandem electric bike, Electro Ball pedal generator test of strength, and the electric vehicle educational display at the second annual Take Flight for Kids event at San Jose’s Reid Hillview Airport. It was a particularly hot day in San Jose but we enjoyed the company of the presenters around us and especially had fun at the miniature robot combat booth.
