Electric Tricycles Puerto Princesa Palawan

ch

Alysha Ariela in her new electric car. That's my ET3 eTrike in back of her which she is used to riding in with me when we go out and about town doing our errands togehter.

Our daughter Alysha Ariela has been driven around in one form of electric vehicle or another since infancy. It was a natural request to us when, at 3 years old, she asked Santa for an electric car of her very own. You can't start early enough teaching a child to love our planet and do things in life that will help our mother earth.

Alysha in my ET3 e-Trike at GT Eco Center, Puerto Princesa Palawan, Philipines. We, I believe are the FIRST all electric vehicle family in the Philippines as far as them being our every day vehicle. It looks like she's thinking, "I can't wait till I'm big enough to drive mommy's trike!

Alysha was learning how to drive her eCar in the test lot with me leading in my own ET3 eTrike. She went round in circles perfectly with me and when she saw the ramp we drive the eVehicles up to the GT Eco Center showroon everyday, she went right up with no reservations what-so-ever.

If you click this link to the movie on youtube, there is actually music. I am not sure why it won't play the music when you embed the movie in a blog.

Ok it's not technically a sleigh, but I felt like Mrs. Santa Klaus delivering food baskets to the underprivileged and others that deserve it.

Getting ready at Green Tech Eco Center, Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines, to deliver Christmas baskets of food to those underpriviledged and also some friends from Oplan Linis under Mrs. Ellen Hagedorn, the First Lady of PPC.  These folks make the thousands of handmade decorations for the giant Christmas tree display at the Baywalk every year.

 

I delivered 3 baskets of food to the Oplan Linis crew administered by Mrs. Ellen Hagedorn, first Lady of  Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines. Her crew make the buntings for festivals and they make the decoratons for the massive Christmas Tree that is erected every year at the Baywalk.



My personal eTrike gussied up for Christmas Season 2010.




At work at Green Tech Eco Center, Dave Dewbre is far right. Our ace mechanic to my left in back of my Et3. GTE is the only dedicated all electric Service Center in the Nation! An electric service station is so much cleaner than gas counterparts. No oils dripping all over floor! Dave and I are the onky two individuals in the entire nation, that I know of, that drive eTrikes as their daily personal means of transportation. I've been able to save minimun 16,000. PhP monthly by driving this unit.

 


At Kinabuch Restaurant and Bar on Rizal Ave. downtown Puerto Princesa. The eTrikes always cause a stir and tourists like to have photos of themselves in it. We really don't mind since we want people to get familiar with eVehicles.



Et3s at Kinabuch Restaurant and Bar earlier at dusk.

Annual Christmas tree in Puerto Princesa, it's quite huge as you can see from the comparison to our etrike.

Dave uses his GPS receiver to make his way around town. The streets are not labled properly yet.

Our electric trikes at home and Dave's 5000 watt electric motorcycle.

Mayor Edward Hagedorn dropped by Green Tech Eco Center to talk about the new et4 and check out the et3 again. Jan.2, 2010

The new prototype for the local airport is almost ready! All assembled in Puerto Princesa with local talent and labor. This is all part of  Mayor Edward Hagedorn's Clean Air Project. He's been working on several models with various groups since 2005.

A friend of mine, lent me his GoPro action cam which has a very wide angle. I filmed this of me driving my ET3 electric trike prototype to Honda Bay in Puerto Princesa. It's part of one of the day tours and it's where you load up into a motorized pump boat which then takes you around to all the islands.

This was edited by my friend Toné Mcguire, whose camera it was, (he was lucky to get it back), and he also dubbed in his own sountrack. My ET3 trike does have it's own set of DWG waterproof motorcycle speakers which really roar, but I didn't have his music loaded onto my iPod that day.


We have developed the new ET4 for the Puerto Princesa International Airport with the backing of ecology minded Mayor of Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Edward Hagedorn.

Oct. 15, 2010 CNN reporter Dean Irvine, came to our Green Tech Eco Center to interview us about the electric tricycle/livelihood project we are working on in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

Dean took a drive in my ET3 and said the hardest thing to get used to was that there was NO sound what-so-ever. He's a motorcycle enthusiast and apparently zips around Hong Kong in one... I can understand his need to want to hear the muffler! I told him that our desire to preserve our environment was greater than our need for audio gratification!!

Dean is a motorcycle enthusiasts so Dave gave him the low down on the electric motorbikes at GTE
