Spring is near which always means that Earth Day is just around the corner. This year, at The Electric Car Company of Long Beach, we’re celebrating Earth Day by rolling out our newest vehicle, the Firefly™. Perfect for fleets and local delivery businesses, the Firefly™ is the brainstorm of our own Pete Barsky in conjunction with the design and engineering expertise of Good Earth Energy Conservation, Inc. (GEEC) in collaboration with the City of Santa Monica. The first vehicle is scheduled for delivery to the city by the end of March and will be launched at a variety of fleet management and Business Matchmaking shows in 2010.
Vehicle stats include:
*Vehicle will soon be available with more powerful motors for increased speed
Range of 60-100 miles per charge
Speed of up to 35 miles per hour*
Enhanced E-Z Steering (patent pending)
5-Position Tilt Wheel
Full hydraulic brakes with oversized master cylinder for enhanced braking
Large adjustable ergonomic seat
360 degree visibility and helicopter style molded acrylic windshield
Minivan-style sliding doors with no pinch points
And, many more enhancements to make for a superb user experience!
Demo Days are in progress at various universities and municipalities. Please call ahead before you come in for a test drive to make sure your preferred model vehicle is in the showroom and ready to roll!
