EV Day at The Q

No sponsor has taken over the naming rights at Qualcomm Stadium.  It’s been nicknamed ‘The Q’ for so long I suspect until something else is built on the property it will always be just The Q.

The biggest RV event of the year is currently in progress, and normally I’d take a walk around.  But for just a five hours today the Electric Vehicle Show is taking place.  The event is sponsored by Nissan, makers of the all electric Nissan Leaf.  There is no Tesla, but BMW does have an i3 electric at the show.

We are hosting euchre tonight and have a very limited time to spend.  We skip the cars and food trucks and move to the back area.  The way-back area behind the electric school bus, the 18-wheeler, the articulated city bus.

To the bicycles!  But I got side tracked by this electric motorcycle.  Don’t think it woudl ahve the range to make a the Run For The Wall.

There was also an enclosed 3-wheel motorcycle, the Spira.  Not very big on eye-candy, but a long list of options.

This little green mini-Pro E-FAT EcoMotion caught my eye when they were advertiing the event.  There are plenty of other bikes to take for a test ride also.

But in the end Fran and I both liked this foldable German engineered Magnum best.  It doesn’t have a classic look, but sure is fun to ride.

Perhaps once Santa folds it, it’ll fit in my stocking ….
