The first legal ride!

I am in heaven! And I think ElectroCat feels the same. I have done the first legal test ride on U.S. soil! smiley

The license plate is still only a piece of paper, but I am allowed to drive ElectroCat on the road! Thanks to John at Gallagher Transport I just got the last customs document. I also have to get an inspection at the State Patrol Police to verify the identity (!) of the motorcycle. When I have done that, I will be able to get the real license plate. Yihooooooooo! Rocky Mountain will never be the same again. smiley

ElectroCat ran even better than it did before I shipped it from Sweden. The batteries are brand new and I have tuned the throttle response which made the bike behave much better. Even if the max power is modest (about 20 kW), the bottom torque is so high that it needs to be tamed.

Picture: Ready to run. It is not only the first testride with ElectroCat, it is also the first test ride with my state-of-the-art motorcycle protective clothing from Riders Discount. Riders Discount is one of our team partners and has supported the KillaCycle racing team with both mine and Scotty’s gear. Scotty is the rider of the KillaCycle.

The high-quality leather suit, protective vest (which I wear under the suit), gloves and boots are from Alpinestars. They all fit like an extra skin, so to speak. The ultra lightweight composite helmet is from Arai and is extremly comfortable. A more detailed review will come soon.

Riders Discount has great prices and I highly recommend you to look there first if you are planning to get new motorcycle clothing.

Picuture: Nothing can wipe that smile off my face.
