More and depletion of world oil reserves are expected to make an electric motor growth. Moreover, the price of fuel is now more soared. No doubt, the electric motors do not require gasoline even ogled.

Even research published by Pike Research explains that the population of two-wheeled vehicles that use electricity as their driving force will soar.

It is estimated there are 17 million electric motors in the world. And in the coming year 2017 that number is expected to further climb up to number 138 million units.

"Motor and electric scooter has a strong appeal to consumers. They are relatively choose to have (motorcycle) low cost, do not take up much space, and easy to maintain, thus making the motor of this type of interest to the citizens," said senior analyst with Pike Research such as quoted from autoevolution, Tuesday .

"The government will also like this vehicle because they can take advantage of transportation and electrical infrastructure that already exists without the problems of congestion and the impact of emissions of conventional cars," he added.

At the global level comparison between an electric motor (in this type of motor cub (duck) and motor sport) and the electric scooter is 1:6. Many who prefer two-wheeled vehicle powered by electric scooter models. While in America the reverse because 59 percent of consumers have an electric motor.

The growth of these two-wheeled electric powered is also expected increase in world demand in lithium ion battery and

Pike Analysis Research shows that the growth of two-wheeled electric vehicles also will have a meaningful impact on the demand for batteries. Vehicles that will use both the lithium ion (Li-ion) and lead acid batteries.

For the electric motor and sport cub model, growth is expected to make lithium ion batteries increased by 24 percent per year between 2011-2017. As for the model scooter, the battery of this type will increase 19 percent per year.

While the lead acid battery type e-motorcycle and e-scooters are expected to experience increased demand for batteries respectively 27 percent and 29 percent.

ice cream sundae,119th anniversary of the first documented

Written By Katrin on Thursday, April 7, 2011 | 9:12 PM


This weekend, Google celebrated the 119th anniversary of the creation of the Sundae, that yummy soda fountain confection of ice cream, fudge, nuts and whipped cream with a cherry on top.

The rumor mill for Google is getting as contagious as the Cupertino variant. But with how often a new flavor of Android comes out, and considering that Android 2.4 was always rumored to be called “Ice Cream,” is Android (Sundae) that much of a stretch?

Rolling over in my bed--and then rolling over the logo--I discovered that Google was celebrating the 119th anniversary of the first documented ice cream sundae.

Search Engine Watch, for example, is sniffing that "Sunday's sundae is Google's way of whetting the world's appetite for the latest Android update, nicknamed Ice Cream."

Might it, for example, be the work of worried Google staffers, encouraging new CEO Larry Page to eat a little more as he attempts to drive Google beyond its current, slightly static state?
Even though all that proves is that the term was invented at some point not too long before the ad was printed, Google has chosen to respect local lore that holds that the term was invented April 3, 1892, by Chester Platt and John Scott at a pharmacy/soda fountain owned by Platt, in Ithaca.

I’m much more interested in actual ice cream sundaes than the term — as Shakespeare might have written if he’d ever had one: That which we call an ice cream sundae by any other name would taste as sweet. Well, there is plenty of evidence that Thomas Jefferson enjoyed ice cream, both at home in Monticello and in the White House. Some people seem to think Google’s primary motivation in running Sunday’s sundae doodle is that the upcoming update to the Android OS is nicknamed “ice cream.”
