Cedric Lynch & his 1991 streamliner & a 2018 EC City electric scooter at the Ace Cafe
Cedric Lynch at the Ace Cafe during the famous venue's first ever Electric Vehicle Day. He is holding the article I wrote for the separate programme for the inaugural 2009 electric TTXGP, in which he features holding one of his motors, alongside the 2008 Electric Ecomobile. That article is now in this same folder, in two parts, starting here: http://www.bikeweb.com/node/3303
Cedric is standing beside his homemade electric streamliner, which he built in 1991 and has been driving daily ever since. He has covered more than 65,000 miles in the machine in that time and while the body has remained much the same, both the batteries and the motor have been upgraded. It is currently fitted with an Agni motor and 42kgs of Thundersky lithium-cobalt batteries. The windscreen is made of polycarbonate plastic with a hard coating made by Peerless Plastics of Thetford, Norfolk.
The other machine is a brand new Artelec ECCity electric scooter, made in Grasse, in the South of France. It is available in both 4Kw and 8Kw versions. PNB
