this article in Santa Cruz Tech Beat about the Santa Cruz New Tech Meetup--and e-bikes! Next month, my IDEASS bike transit internship project may be presenting along with a number of other projects from the internship class. You should all come check it out!
"'I look for transitions in markets', said Neal Saiki, the founder of NTS Works as he explained why he’s designing and building high tech, electric bicycles. The market for traditional human powered bicycles is stagnant, but e-bike sales are rocketing. He plans to match his patented e-bike technology with existing bicycle industry distribution channels to ride that transition to success. His new products include a solar cargo bicycle that he says can run at 10 miles per hour on level ground powered just by sunlight. Any faster or steeper, and you have to pedal.

The gathering, at CruzioWorks, marked the sixth anniversary of the New Tech Meetup and celebrated the people and organisations who have transformed Santa Cruz into a high tech hotspot."
