Interbike 2011 Bike Show and the E-Moto Monterrey Bike that I designed

The Las Vegas Interbike trade show happened on September 14-16 at the Sands Expo and Convention center. One of the (best) electric bikes shown there was the e-Moto Monterey electric bike that I co-designed in SolidWorks with a friend of mine. Although I wasn't able to go to the show I thought that I would write a blog post about the bike since I had a hand in creating it. Have a look at the pictures below of the Interbike show bike and the CAD model that I made to design the bike.

e-Moto makes great electric vehicles. I don't work for them but I am familiar with their bikes and ride them all the time.
     
Email me at ottobelden@yahoo.com (or leave a comment) if you would like to know more about either the CAD model that I made, the Interbike show or if you are interested in the e-Moto Monterey bike. I'd be happy to give you more information, or direct you to folks that can!

    1. Thanks,

      Please tell Google that the new interface that they have is a waste of time and idiotic.

      I'll be happy to help you after you do that.
