A BIG thank you to all who came out and supported our Electric City event - even without us announcing too many details! The whole purpose of this promotion was to have a variety of unique electric vehicles silently breeze through Harrow and see if they get noticed - and they certainly did.
We have been inundated with comments, emails and mobile phone photos from what people spotted. Even one video (which I haven't been successful in opening). On Sunday night I logged onto the blog and instead of doing what I usually do I just stared at my computer for a few hours trying to scan through over 200 comments, emails and responses. Wow!
Unfortunately we can't publish all comments and responses we receive and now it's getting to the point where we either publish everything unmoderated (which we can't do as sometimes people's enthusiasm goes into expletives) or we filter through them all and attempt to publish what we can when we can, but at a delay. So a big thank you to everyone who wrote in this weekend and sorry if it doesn't all make the blog - it's just we had a surge of interest this past week and it's impossible to moderate it all.
Harrow is definitely a generous and united community, it's up to ALL of us!

I saw the GWhiz and the funky shaped ones - they looked fantastic! What were the models? They were superquiet and looked like something out of space!
This was a brilliant idea but please next time have them all at one event in Harrow!
Was there a Tesla anyone? I saw one that looked like a plane on 3 wheels! It was really eye catching and amazing, bit big though! Everyone was staring at it. what was it??
I saw a hybrid scooter and the aperture, what else was there?
I saw a gwiz too
the white one was the business, like a big spaceship but silent. It just glided everywhere. I saw it in Stanmore and on Robin Hood Way in Greenford at the traffic lights. I asked what it was, the guy just popped his head out and said "See you in 'Arrow". nice. Cheers mate.
thanks for all the updates this past week, they've been brilliant!
I saw a scoot electric bike but that was it. the reason I knew it was a scoot electric one was bcos the bloke on it kept stopping and saying look this is a scoot electric. He must have been a salesman the way he was carrying on.
I saw the GWhiz and asked if any other electric cars were coming on this route. Then I realised the lady driving it was an actual GWhiz owner and not part of the promotion. OOPS! I got a really awkward look.
The Harrow GWhiz is the one in the photo, white with all the words on it. Very promotional. They had a flag flying out of one of the bikes with the Nicky pic.
I can run faster than any electric car. I am the Tesla. All other cars are inferior to me.
I saw the GWhiz which I now hate. And let me reveal the source of my hatred: the lies. The company Goingreen seem to want to deceive their consumers by selling a quadricycle as a car. No need for crash testing because the vehicle is not expected on the road. Tell that to the poor fella who buys one and then has an accident. Oh wait, they don't. They just say it's roadworthy.
Apart from that, I like the car itself, it's just if it had something to hide you can bet it's not safe. They also fail to publicise that you need to keep it plugged in overnight.
Whoa! I own a Gwhiz and love it. It's nippy, handy and always gets stares. Plus it's deadly silent and I've never had any problems with it.
Let me clarify, yes you SHOULD plug it in overnight but don't have to. Yes I was under the impression it was roadworthy too and it is, but the whole crash thing seems to be more something that's happened after regulations rater than a cover-up.
I do recommend the cars and love it. Anyone harbouring negativity for it (due to negative press) just test drive it, you won't regret it!
