CycleElectric Newsletter January 2004

Where to go to learn about electric bikes and scooters in 2004?
There are a variety of events, trade fairs and seminars. We recommend going to all of them – as we usually do.
At the Taipei Cycle Show this year there will be a Seminar series on electric bicycles – details will follow as soon as we have them.
In this edition of the newsletter, we list CycleElectric's choices for 2004. The entire offering from Infowebcom is listed – these events and publications are not all focused on electric vehicles – but the ones that are are very useful.
