Eagle Electric motorbikes- Philippines
Thursday, April 8, 2010 - The new 1500 watt Eagle motorbikes arrived in Puerto Princesa and Manila shops night before last. These are stronger than the 1000 watt units that Green Tech EcoCenter staff have been driving for 3 years now.
Dave first bought several Eagle Ebikes for himself to test when we lived in Subic Freeport. We have been hooked on them since. Dave, being the EV enthusiasts and user, realized the need to also service the units and has made sure that no matter where you buy one, you won't be left with no one to turn to if you need a new part or service. I went around to traditional gas motorcycles shops today and it seems these E bikes are cheaper than some 125cc models.

Having been around them and seeing them used by staff, it seems they are pretty maintenance free. Not having to fill up with gas is a real joy. The quiet, noiseless and zero smoke ride makes it a real pleasure to be on.
It's not as fun in PPC to drive them as it was in the Subic Freeport housing area. But for practical purposes like sending the staff on errands,they are still reliable and cheaper to operate than the gas versions. Hopefully someday, PPC will go all electric and dispense with the gas belching, noisy traditional gas motorcycles and tricycles. |
 Dave used to take Alysha for rides in a kangaroo type baby harness since she could hold her head up by herself. You can see how happy she is! |

Promoting Electric Vehicle Projects in the Philippines
Subic Bay, Zambales - September 11, 2009 - Dave Dewbre, EVC (Electric Vehicle Consultant) and CEO of Digital Web Group Inc, along with Willy Dela Cruz, CEO of Eagle Motorcycles, announces the upcoming release of electric tricycles in the Philippines. Addressing the need for alternative transportation, driven by emerging economies and decreasing petroleum reserves, Dave Dewbre goes on a joint venture with Eagle Motorcycles to promote electric tricycle projects for Philippines cities. Eagle Motorcycle's electric tricycles and electric motorbikes are nationally accredited by the LTO (Land Transportation Office).
Dave Dewbre, an environment protection advocate, invested heavily in EVs and particularly in electric motorcycle research and development for over four years in order to help problems such as air pollution, global warming and rising energy costs. A lot of technology has been developed and more is underway. All of the final products can easily be upgraded as technology changes. They are also safe, economical and aerodynamic in design.
 The company will be opening distribution and retail outlets in all major locations. They will also establish several battery charging stations and provide training for upcoming EV mechanics. This project will not only contribute to environment protection, but will also provide job opportunities for the Filipino community.

June 13, 2009 - Mayor Ed Hagedorn of Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines wanted to know if our 3000 watt Electric motorcycle would pull an existing side car on one of their local gas tricycles. That same day Dave Dewbre, EVC-CEO of Digital Web Group, Inc and Willy Dela Cruz of Eagle Motorcycles Philippines, took it to a welder and it was done by 8am the following morning.
The Mayor took off on it like it was a Ferrari!! He had no problems with it. This was a test of the Mayor's EV feasability study to address Puerto Princesa's existing gas tricycle problem.The study was to test the ability of this 3000 watt electric motor to function under existing streets, inclines and passenger scenarios. Mayor Ed Hagedorn, considered the possibility of converting the 4000 existing wide tricycle bodies as a budgetary reduction possibility.
The DWG 3000 watt electric motorbike, provided by DWG, Inc., did indeed make it all day around the town without needing a charge and to date is still running. After consideration for long term use and future needs, city image etc, a more ergonomic and lighter fiberglass body was chosen by the Mayor instead.
