KICK GAS the movie will be released on April 22, 2014 and will be available to see on Amazon.com and at KickGas.tv! The movie follows a group of people crossing the USA in an attempt to set 4 Guinness World Records on all electric vehicles including a Nissan Leaf, a Zero S electric motorcycle, two Xenon electric scooters and an A2B electric bicycle. Follow 10 people on their journey as they battle weather, fatigue, charging infrastructure and popped tires to make it from Charleston, SC to Google Headquarters in Mountain View, CA.
I got the chance to ride with Gavin (an Empulse owner) up and down Sandia Mountain in NM, which was a real treat!
The trailer and an interview with the film director can be found using this link. Check it out!

It's available now! I'm really interested in your feedback, let me know in a private message or on the boards what you think of the movie.
To watch it, just go to www.KickGas.tv (http://www.KickGas.tv) and follow the directions (it may still say Pre-Order, but you can see it now).
Enjoy!

Very cool to see some like-minded people, not sure I would've been able to do the 44 days (props for sticking with it!) but was a great journey across the landscape of the US and definitely showed the benefits of electric as we move further into the 21st century.
Really enjoyed the ride with the fellow electric motorcyclist and the stop off at Hollywood Electrics :)

I really enjoyed the film. The stop on Route 66 to meet the old Gent who inspired the film Cars was a lovely touch. 44 days is a long time to spend with people you've never met before and you all seemed to be friends at the end. A great achievement.

Hi, I was trying to refer a prospective e-motorcycle buyer to watch the film, but www.kickgas.tv (http://www.kickgas.tv) redirects to a 404 page not found error at kickgas.vhx.tv. How may I direct interested people to see the film? Thanks.

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll look into it.

I spoke with the director and he has taken it down for the time being. I don't know how long it will be down for, but I don't expect it to go back up any time soon.
Sorry about that, I was hoping it was a technical error that could be fixed easily. If you are interested in showing the movie to someone, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
However, if you know anyone who would like to buy the rights to the movie, let me know.
