Spare Parts: Green Start

The zero-emission Vectrix let runners breathe easy as a trio of the bikes served as the pace vehicles for the Boston Marathon back on April 21, escorting race director Dave McGillivray and race photographers along the 26-mile route. The Boston Athletic Association, sponsor of the marathon since its inception, chose Vectrix for its zero emission technology.

“Studies have shown that fuel emissions may have potential adverse effects on runners,” said Ron Kramer, lead vehicle coordinator for the B.A.A. “We are especially concerned with those vehicles that are closest to the runners, and Vectrix electric vehicles will eliminate any adverse effects.”

The bikes didn’t have to worry about getting passed by the pack as they can accelerate up to 62 mph! Ready to rake in some green of your own? Find out more at www.vectrix.com.

Landmaster is continuing to grow by adding over an additional 90 new dealers to its national and international mix of dealers. Landmaster’s primary focus this year has been adding dealers in the farm and agriculture segment. “By taking on the Landmaster product, several of our large implement and tractor dealers are starting to see more residential-based consumers stop by their dealership vs. the typical farm and commercial user. Prior to this, dealers primarily dealt with commercial and farm customers; now dealers can benefit by selling our UTVs along with their other products to the residential large landowner,” commented David Piercy, director of marketing for Landmaster.
