1991 Eco in the Swiss Alps in 2010

Ecomobile 5013, best known as the cover model for Motorrad magazine's in-depth feature entitled 'Das Gelbe vom Ei' (The Yellow of the Egg), in 1991.
I drove it back from Brno to Winterthur in 2009, with a patched-up windscreen after a trainee crashed it. In 2010 I drove it both ways, from Zurich airport to Brno and back, returning via this picturesque Swiss mountain pass and then up another one to meet up with Tobi Wülser and Frank Loacker of DesignWerk, with their brand new electric ZeroTracer, shortly before it was ridden around the world in 80 days.
