Sail-trike Rider Completes Cross-country Voyage

Back in June, I posted about John McTaggart and his attempt to go coast to coast across the southern U.S. with the Pterosail, a pedal, sail, and electric-assist powered recumbent trike. Well, he’s done it! Check out this innovative machine and highlights of his journey in this 5 minute Youtube video.

Congratulations John!

Two Wheeled History this weekend at Isle of Man TT

A departure from pedal-powered topics today, to note a little bit of motorcycle history in the making. This Sunday will be the first time electric motorbikes will compete at the legendary Isle of Man Time Trial. The TTXGP race, which consists of one lap of the island may also see electric cars in the line-up for the first time next year.
