Had a great morning at Burliegh getting some photos for the website, Thank you to Heather for the wake up call, Arron for the camera work, the local girl for the modeling in the skirt. Just to prove, it is O.K./P.C. to ride in a skirt and the random "blow in" young kid for having a go. Love your work ! Comments would be appreciated for inclusion in the new website...

Well exciting times,
BIKES ARRIVE NEXT WEEK ! 
I went to see the boys today and pick up the Volt. They were very interested in the Tonaro drive system and I got a price off Shaun straight away, ta Mate for the call back. I am still waiting for your unsolicited photo approval fellas, he he love what your doing with a battery and a motor. Was so excited at your reaction that they were on a Blog as well as endlessphere.com , They have got a three wheeler as well for all those that think you might be too old for this stuff, ha "your never too old for a three wheeler" said the Old Burleigh Bench Crew on their electric blue wheelies. The funniest thing i won't mention, but we only learn by doing. Look forward to your speedy recovery, pun intended.

Here's the pic of the front bit Clint.
Not a bad bit of engineering,
I believe the real magic is in the motor though. 
Something about digital I think.

(five times faster than a racing car engine) sounds good.
Not to mention that beautiful whopping great 36 volt Lithium polymer battery.
The latest technology is grand when your zooming down the road on it, isn't it !
As opposed to using it for the vacuuming.
Hardly wait to get it on the water...
Thanks for your kind support my friend !


Hey Shaun, 
was told I had to post this one of the surf board rack.
Haven't told Clint about the panniers yet.

The new Tonaro arrived and was a big hit !

Exciting times today, awaiting delivery of Tonaro bike to Clint at Fox Studios tomorrow and organisation of the pick up of the Demo Tonaro. Looking forward to the result like a kid getting a new guitar !

Endless-sphere.com

Joined Endless-sphere.com forum as electricbiketours.com.au 


This is a fantastic source of information for me, thanks to everyone on it.
A big thanks to the fella that told me about forum. I met him at Burliegh last year. He let me
" Have A Go" when I swapped him my Tonaro for his very large voltage bike. This thing just  rocketed me up the hill in the park there. I was doing about fifty plus by the time I went to slow down at the top. It was a real eye opener to see how far it could be taken. Good on ya, see you down the beach again soon.

Starting Blog, Check.

Welcome to electricbiketours.com.au

We will be running tours along the beautiful Gold Coast beaches in the coming months. 

Our bikes will be the Bighit and Compy models of the Tonaro Brand.

I have had one for a year and  can recommend it so highly I thought I would start a tour company with them. 

If you haven't " Had a Go" on these new generation of electric bikes along the beautiful beaches you really should give it a try.

It is the very early days yet and i am very excited about this merry adventure.

Kind Regards 

Duncan
