Hello - I attended the CalEPA Cap & Trade workshop yesterday in
Sacramento. Interesting discussion! I was hoping to be a speaker
but the list was full. Anyhow, I have a small Sacramento area
start-up that designs and manufactures a line of zero emissions
electric-drive stand-up cycles for personal use (errands and short
commutes)and police / patrol applications. 

We have over 3 years of R&D, engineering and pre-market testing
completed on the project. We also have done a couple small
production runs for our first edition and have sold 40 units into
the market including a couple Patrol units to San Mateo College /
campus security detail (see attached images). We have been getting
allot of interest from various police departments and public
security venues (for when they have funds). But, we are lacking the
funds to do another production run and scale the company to wider
distribution. 

Our Police / Patrol units are an excellent solution for short-range
patrols, special events, down-town congested areas, college campus
patrols, government facility patrols, etc. And they are silent with
zero emissions! We have a local facility / shop where they are made
(Made in USA) and we are in a position to create lots of jobs once
we gain a little critical mass in the market place..  

I personally see the potential for creating "clean community" zones
where we can directly impact reduction in vehicle emissions  by
deploying our products (and/or other ones like them) in select
communities where they would be an efficient mode of
transportation. Cities and towns where there are bike trails as a
general rule since our product is legal on most bike trails and
bike lanes. 

Anyway, I have attached some additional information about my
company and products. I am determined one way or another to grow my
company and make an impact in society - but certainly having the
support of agencies like yours could go a long way to help. We are
in fund raising mode in order to get to the next success level~! 

Thanks for your consideration!
