ZoomiLife Blog review after test driving the Zuumer:

[I'm buying one] Because the Zuumer is the single most innovative, most useful, and most fun VLEV (Very Light Electric Vehicle) that I’ve ever ridden, and I’ve tried a few. And I don’t impress easily.

GizMag.com’s excellent wrap-up of ZuumQuest ‘08!

Stay tuned, more to come!

Yikes! Ouch! At least once a week I hear this in a dream and run to find out where it is coming from only to find my wallet flopping around on the floor like a fish out of water! My wallet is crying over the seemingly relentless price escalation of gasoline, natural gas, heating oil, and the like, and everything tied to these resources: food, transportation, clothes, electricity, need I continue?

Now add in serious pollution, traffic congestion and global warming, which we hear about every day.  Though these issues have been building over time, it looks like we’ve now reached a tipping point of awareness and action on these environmental issues. The “Green” movement is in full swing now.  For example, the mayors of the San Francisco Bay Area have formed the Bay Area Climate Compact, with objectives that include increasing the use of electric vehicles.

This brings us to ZuumCraft and what we are doing to help alleviate some of these issues. We see a great need for an affordable clean-tech sustainable solution to the single-rider short trip transportation problem. Next week ZuumCraft is launching ZuumQuest ‘08 promote “clean tech” vehicles and the environmental benefits of “green” personal transportation.

ZuumQuest ‘08 will travel through beach communities building excitement about environmentally sensitive personal transportation.   TeamZuumer™ will meet with local personalities and notable companies who promote sustainable transportation, such as Tesla Motors, Google, engineering groups at Cal Poly, the Mayor of Santa Barbara, and other.

Keep your eye on the site for more details and to meet up with us at your favorite California beach!
