Kallfelz and Hamann have
entered phase two of their local
success story with the release of
the second-generation eGO and
the response has been fantastic
in several different market segments.
One of the most popular
uses of the vehicle has been
in planned and gated communities
that offer many amenities
and all contained in the residential
area. Families buy multiple units for the transportation
needs of family members.
The vehicles provide light
weight, low impact transportation
and are available with a
host of accessories that make
riding them fun and create an
exhilarating experience.
The eGO Cycle incorporates
a striking design that is unintimidating
to the first time rider.
All of the sophisticated technology
is hidden by the creative
design and is actually quite
simple to operate.
The design won an award at
the Success by Design 2003
conference sponsored by the
Center for Design and Business
which is a joint venture between
Bryant College and the world
famous Rhode Island School of
Design.
With no oil, no lube and no
chains, the vehicle quietly
moves along the street and
transports the rider at speeds
up to 23 mile per hour with a
range of approximately 25
miles. It is obviously designed
to replace all those short trips
in the family car and creates a
personal transportation vehicle
that will actually be used by the
owners.
Kallfelz said, "The eGO Cycle
is truly viable high-quality personal
transportation. It represents
a significant achievement
in the electric vehicle industry
by being the first and only product
to solve the functionality
concessions consumers have
experienced with other electric
vehicles. The eGO Cycle is a
new transportation choice that
is practical, yet takes you on an
adventure even when you are
just running errands – it makes
the mundane exhilarating."
The company has recently
launched a campaign to penetrate
the RV and campground
industry. Jim Hamann said,
"We actually have quite a few
RVers who have purchased the
cycles through our web site
(www.egovehicles.com). We’ve
had so much activity from
RVers that we have added a
special "Happy Camper" discounted
RV package. The
Happy Camper special includes
two eGO Cycles with rear baskets,
a cargo trailer (one), two
rain covers, two locks and an
eGO carrier which carries two
eGO's for the RV. The package
saves the customers about $250
and completely outfits them
with two fun and easy to ride
electric cycles and all the extras
they’ll ever need.
