Soho is electric When you're selling trendy electric bikes and scooters, it makes sense to move your business to an up-and-coming neighborhood like SoHo. It's a combination that has worked well for Mike Long of E-Ride London. After two years on Richmond Row, Long moved his dealership to 92 Wellington St. (at the corner of Wellington and South streets). The building that housed a Chinese restaurant for a number of years has been extensively renovated. Long says the momentum is building in the neighbourhood, with several other new business across the street. "There's lots of parking, a lot of traffic going by - great visibility," said Long who said business is up about 50% since the move. A native of Saskatchewan, Long got involved with E-Ride when he lived in Vancouver Long had never been to London, but he did some homework and determined the city would be a great place to open an E-Ride franchise. E-Ride London sells a full line of Motorino scooters and bikes. |

RIDE ON: Like American Soviet apologist Lincoln Steffens, native Bulgarian Steve Miloshev has seen the future. In his case, though, it didn't work so well. Making it do so ate up his $500,000 savings, maxed out every credit card he could get and, by 2005, saw him arranging to meet a bankruptcy agent. "But I didn't go," Miloshev, 51, said this week in the 2,500-square-foot Second-off-Main facility his Greenwit Technologies firm (greenwit.com) will soon vacate for one twice the size beside the Vancouver police department's Cambie-at-Fifth headquarters. |

A Fells Point businessman (Ray Carrier) wants to start the electric revolution. "I was in China, visiting my wife's family," he says. "...It really woke me up to these things being everywhere." ... He turned to a Bulgarian-born engineer in Vancouver, Steve Miloshev, whose Greenwit Technologies has met with some success in Canada with its Motorino electric scooters. The Motorinos are designed and developed in Canada, but the motors are built in Taiwan and then assembled in China. Chinese scooters have a poor reputation among scooterists compared to more established Japanese and Italian brands, but Carrier believes Miloshev has solved some of the problems with the Motorino line by keeping pressure on the Chinese factories to meet schedules and standards, and by importing enough parts to make repairs as necessary.
