E85 Chopper Makes Ethanol Cool
Allow me to introduce you to the new E85 – It is a farmer-bikers dream ride!
The Teutels of Orange County Choppers are at it again. This is the first Chopper of its kind. It is America’s First Renewable Energy Chopper recently released at the Iowa Speedway. Not only does it run on 85% Ethanol, but the boys at Orange County topped it off with other cool details to spread the word about Iowa’s prominence in renewable resources that benefit folks locally and nationwide. Featuring spokes designed after wind turbines, a Corn Head “Scoop”, Cowhide seat and exhaust designed to mimic an Ethanol Plant, the E85 puts a new twist on an old tradition. The paint job even features corn and soybean foliage to remind users of biodiesel.
This bike was designed for the Iowa Farm Bureau to promote the use of Ethanol within the state and beyond. Iowa is one of the world’s leaders in renewable energy production. They produce more ethanol than any other state as well as about a quarter of the nation’s supply of ethanol, which is blended with 40% of the gas supply in the United States.
The campaign also emphasizes biomass, wind energy, biodiesel and carbon credits. The conglomeration of these methods of renewable energy will revolutionize the way energy in the United States is used and produced. All of these areas of agriculture reduce greenhouse gases produced using traditional energy methods. They also reduce American dependence on foreign fuel. In the mean time, the campaign goes to aid the rural community.
