CONTINUED (2/2)
We have been expanding carefully and slowly. I have included my
family members in the management of our company. We have been
successful in obtaining the classification of the Solex as a "power-assisted
bicycle" with the US Department of Transportation -- and thus
it does not require the title and registration that a motorcycle
requires. (However, we do suggest that every owner check with
his/her state requirements)
We
chose the name of "VeloCruz" - because "velo" means "bicycle",
and "cruz" means "in the "breeze". Thus, "VeloCruz" means "bicycle
in the breeze". It is exciting to see the enthusiasm of our customers.
They are thrilled to have a safe and quiet motorized bicycle -
and it is so very simple to maintain and repair. The 200 miles
per gallon is also very enticing!
Our
warehouse in conveniently located in North Salt Lake. From there
we distribute our bikes and parts. They weigh only 62 lbs and
are easy to place on bicycle racks or in trailers or in pick-up
trucks. The cost to ship a Solex to various states is quite reasonable.
Interesting enough, the cost to ship 2 to the same address is
about the same as the price to ship only 1.
You
will love the "Solex Experience". It is like having a brand new
1970 VW Bug. It carries a magnetism and charisma about it. They
are great for going on errands to the store or the post office,
or going for a family ride. The Solex can be operated exclusively
as a bicycle - and thus you get your exercise if you so desire
- but then, you can always use the motor to get you home if you
become too-o tired. (Humor)
I
share my story with you. I hope it has been helpful. We
would love to hear back from you and would be happy to supply
you with a Solex. We have FREE Solex brochures and
literature. (Also, we have a one-in-a-million "Solex Song"
that has been written and sung by members of our family.) Refer
to our website: www.solexus.com for other interesting information,
a live video of us riding a Solex, and the Solex Song.
