This year marked my second time at the EICMA motorcycle exhibition, the biggest two wheel trade show in the world. And while the initial oomph of the show has worn off just a little from last year, only because I knew a little what to expect, this year did not disappoint. GOVECS is the reason I…

Technical Scooters
Wrocław’s University of Technology has continually been ranked among the top most technical schools in Poland. In fact it was ranked the top technical school in 2006 and 2007, this according to Wikipedia. So it makes me really proud to see our scooters patrolling the campus as electric security. I think it was a year…
Extreme Fun
Thinking back of the X Games, a week spent there wasn’t gonna pass by without having some serious fun. Ever since learning of our participation in the event months ago I was getting ready to see some live extreme sport action. While work is work and scooters rolled around all day, on one afternoon my…
GOVECS at the Games
Taking part in actively promoting GOVECS electric mobility is a great opportunity to witness the smiles we put on people’s faces when they ride our scooters. People tend to approach us with a certain element of caution not knowing what to expect. “How does it work? Is it on, now? Ohh wow, it’s so quiet.”…
X Games – Pre Show
Today we setup our GOVECS booth and a test track and planned out the next few days at the X Games Munich. It was the first time I saw it here and wow does it all make a impression. Everything is HUGE! And that’s not just what she said 🙂 It boggles my mind that all this…
X Games Munich
GOVECS will have a pretty big presence at this years first ever X Games in Munich. We’ve got a test track where anyone can try out our electric scooters, all current models, and there’ll be a pretty cool GOVECS photo opportunity as well with a prize for the best photo taken. More on that later,…
Zolder Circuit – Clean Week 2020
I am currently at the Clean Week 2020 event in Zolder, Belgium. The annual event takes place at the Zolder Formula One circuit built in 1963 and focuses on showing off electric and hybrid vehicles of all types. Today was mostly focused on two wheeled scooters and electric motorcycles alike, but Tesla and a couple…
Maya
Today I got a chance to meet Maja [Maya] Włoszczowska, a world champion in cross-country mountain biking. She also happens to be a high school friend of my coworker Damian who asked her to stop by for a quick poster signing session. A few of us took a photo with Maja, naturally I provided a…
My Hero
Friday night. Ohh what a night. Sitting at home, sipping away my Corona with lime, watching a week’s worth of The Daily Show downloads and making my first GoPRO Hero video. Sure I could think of at least one better way of spending my Friday night, but until that person again comes along in my…
New Beginnings
A couple of very important event’s took place within the last two weeks that made me write this post. Kasia’s Wedding My sister Kasia, Kat to her friends, tied the knot with her fiance David in a very movie-like ceremony on the North Shore beach in Hawaii. Here’s my WordPress salute to you both! Congratulations once…
EICMA – Pure Cycling Heaven
EICMA stands for Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori, but to every non-Italian speaker it quite simply means Milan’s Motorcycle Show. It is the biggest motorcycle show in the world and every year it is the place to be if you’re a motorcycle manufacturer or simply a cycling enthusiast. This year marked EICMA’s 70th show, and my very first one. To…
Zürich Scootering
I’m currently in Zurich, Switzerland on a 5-day weekend visiting my fiance Karolina who’s here on a month long work trip herself. But today was Friday so while Karo went off to work I went off sightseeing the city of Zurich. My first stop, a GOVECS dealership of course. M-Way is the official distributor of…
Simson Schwalbe KR 51
Simson Schwalbe KR 50 and the KR 51 pictured below was East-Germany’s answer to the Italian Vespa and to me is still the ultimate retro scooter. 153,500 KR 51 scooters were produced between 1964 and 1968 before eventually being replaced by a more modern SR50 model, but the KR family lived on till 1986 with…
GOVECS in Berlin
I spent three days searching for our very own GOVECS electric scooters among thousands of two wheel vehicles in Amsterdam and didn’t find one. In Berlin, GOVECS found me! We took the metro towards Berlin’s museum island exiting at the Friedrichstrasse station. The first thing that caught my eye right after leaving the station was…
Świdnica’s Center For Electric Technology
Yesterday was a grand opening of Center for Electric Technology located in Świdnica (Shveedneeca) about 50km south-west of Wrocław. The center consists of a 1,200 square meter building built with the latest and greatest in eco-friendly and renewable energy technology that almost makes the building completely self-sufficient. Solar panels, trackers, high efficiency air turbines, and…
Electric Hero
As most of you already know I work for an electric scooter company called GOVECS. It has been a fun ride so far and I’m happy to report that our scooters are kicking ass and taking names! In May of this year we won the E-scooter of the year award and just recently our newest…
Ski Jumping Scooters
I have recently moved and don’t have an internet connection at the new place; worse still,I probably won’t have one for a while. All my posts are now limited to whatever I remember to write and upload from my parents house or afterhours at work. This week I spent 3 days in the city of…
Snakeskin Electric
Riding an electric scooter is the most fun one can ever have on a scooter, period. It’s fast, quiet, and completely CO2 emissions free. Instant electric power translates into a holeshot take off every time the stop light turns green and the surprised look on car drivers faces is priceless as I silently coast by…
