If I told you this was an article about
an electric scooter, you might not get
real excited. After all, the RV industry
has seen many scooter wannabes’ and
bicycles on steroids. Most of which
never lived up to their expectations and
have actually turned many
dealers and campgrounds
away from any desire to get
involved with two wheel
vehicles with too many
headaches.
Could the RV industry
finally have a real contender
to transform the
way RVers transport themselves
around RV resorts,
campgrounds and the local
neighborhood?
Many RVers don’t really
like towing a vehicle
behind their motorhome.
It is a practice long endured because
they need basic transportation once they
have arrived at their destination. If
they really dislike the idea of a car
behind a motorhome, they may actually
opt for a pick-up truck and fifth wheel
or a car/trailer combination that may be
more to their liking.
A small Rhode Island company may
have finally provided the long awaited
solution for a transportation transformation
in the RV and campground industry.
eGO Vehicles, Inc. based in
Providence, RI, is a leading innovator of
electric vehicles designed for convenient,
safe and fun personal transportation.
Led by two enthusiastic entrepreneurs
who have fallen in love with their eGO
Cycle™ and have become evangelists for
changing the way people look at their
personal transportation requirements.
Fueled by statistics from the U.S.
Department of Transportation that show
the average automobile trip to be only
7.1 miles, and with 60% of those trips
being less than five miles, Andrew
Kallfelz, president & CEO, and James
Hamann, VP Sales & Marketing, thought
they had a better idea.
