How many people do you take with you to work or to the grocery?  If you are like 80% of us, you commute to work alone, and probably close to half of your other trips are a solo act as well. Driving an SUV to work is like trying to hang a picture nail in your freshly painted living room with a jack hammer – using the wrong tool for the job. Typically the 60% of households that have two or more vehicles devote one of those cars to just one person’s day-to-day travel.

An efficient single passenger vehicle fits the way most people drive. Plus, people who choose a single-passenger electric vehicle thrive by:

1. Saving time by using the carpool lanes without picking up the carpool
2. Saving time by getting preferential first on-first off privileges on ferries
3. Saving time by using the parking spot your other car can’t fit
4. Saving time by avoiding the gas station.

Stop being a road hog. The NmG gives you the option to be responsible and stop using more road than necessary.

More than half of drivers travel less than 30 miles in an average day. Remember, the NmG should become your primary commuter vehicle for those daily trips to and from work or running errands. Use your secondary gasoline-powered vehicle when you occasionally need to go further.

Think about how far you drive to work or for your other errands. Even if it is close to the maximum range, many of our drivers have bosses who want to help the environment and let them recharge during the day. Some stores will let you plug into their 110 volt outlet because they want to help the environment too.  

Small size doesn’t limit the value of technology. Remember, the NmG is a sophisticated electronic device, and we all know that tiny cell phones are more expensive than larger ones.

If you are looking for the cheapest vehicle out there, you can probably find someone’s used clunker with a “For Sale” sign in the window. But, if you are looking for a vehicle that:

1. Meets your driving needs,
2. Gets you there at highway speeds,
3. Protects the environment,
4. Reduces our oil addiction, one driver at a time,
5. Emphasizes who you really are,
6. Is fun to drive,
7. Gets noticed,
8. Generates a positive legacy for future generations,

-- Then you are looking for an NmG.

No local dealer yet? No problem. You don’t have to be a mechanic or electrical engineer to maintain your NmG. Myers Motors will consult with mechanics in your area when they need to fix a rare service or warranty issue.

The NmG is America's lowest cost all-electric, highway -legal, personal vehicle with 70+ mph speeds. The fully enclosed, single passenger vehicle sports two front wheels and a single drive wheel in the rear. While it drives like a spunky car with a low center of gravity, the U.S. Department of Transportation considers the NmG to be a three-wheeled motorcycle. We call it a PEV, or Personal Electric Vehicle, since it transports only the driver and challenges the labels of both “car” and “motorcycle.”

Because it is a blast to drive! We dare you to drive the NmG without smiling! But fun is only half the reason you'll be smiling. The NmG offers drivers a great alternative to wasting time at the gas station, wasting money on gasoline, and wasting the planet by burning an oil product. Imagine reducing your personal VOC1 pollution per mile by nearly 90% when you charge the vehicle on the electric grid you already use at home2. Or, imagine paying $0.55 for solar or home grown energy to transport yourself 30 miles while others on the road are burning up foreign oil costing 4 or more times that amount for their local trips! In addition to the thrill of driving an NmG, you have the satisfaction of doing something positive about the environment and dependence on foreign oil interests.

When you are not enjoying your NmG on the road, take the provided extension cord and plug it into any 110 volt, 20 amp service outlet. If the batteries are discharged 80 percent, the energizing will be completed in 6 to 8 hours--enough time for you to get a good night's sleep or a full day at work if you are recharging for the trip home. Use a 220-volt service to charge in 4 to 6 hours.

The standard battery pack will take you as far as you want to go … as long it is not farther than 25 to 30 miles. This is about the distance typical people drive their car every day. You can double the practical range of your commute if your nice boss decides to let you recharge at work. It can be his part in helping out the environment. Though you may want to give him that $0.02 per mile for the extra electricity cost he is going to incur. 

The NmG has thirteen 12-volt batteries wired in series to create a 156-volt nominal system. This is known as the battery pack. Six of the batteries are located under the hood and seven batteries are located under the driver's seat. Despite the physical separation, the batteries are electrically connected. The batteries are Optima Spiracell, valve regulated lead acid (VRLA). They are absorbed glass mat (AGM) type, not a gel type. This type and brand of battery was carefully chosen to provide maximum power, low self discharge and fast and efficient recharge. They are completely sealed and require no maintenance.

Because the NmG is “fully occupied” with one driver, it can be legally operated in the HOV, or carpool, lanes (in most locations – check your local regulations). Other NmG drivers save time because several ferry routes allow them to be the first on and the first off at the dock. People driving their NmGs around big cities also quickly discover parking for a single person vehicle is much easier to find. And, with its ability to charge up either while you are at work or asleep, our drivers save time by eliminating trips to the gas station.

Having been called the SUV of motorcycles, the three wheeled NmG has obvious stability advantages over a two wheel motorcycle. The occupant of the NmG is enclosed in a layered, composite structure and further protected by using the 3-point shoulder safety harness. It has a steering wheel and foot pedals like a car to be easier to use, although it is not a car and it does not meet car crash standards. The NmG meets the DOT safety standards required for motorcycles and three wheelers. 

No. While most States require motorcycle plates for the NmG, most do not require a motorcycle license to operate the vehicle; a regular driver's license is usually enough. We have heard of a few local BMVs requiring a motorcycle license, but they allowed the test to be taken in the NmG rather than on a two-wheeled motorcycle. Check with your local BMV to be sure.

The spacious trunk can carry 6 cubic feet - room enough for a full cart of groceries. That's plenty of room for a briefcase, laptop, lunch and gym bag. If making deliveries, that's enough room for a post office bin. Or for shopping, there's enough room for the two new pairs of shoes, new handbag, three sweaters, two skirts, and five pair of jeans you just bought. Actually, there's plenty of room for about 18 large pizzas, 2 bags of chips, and four 2-liter bottles of pop to take to the party; or how about a couple of extra soccer balls for the big game, with room to spare; or – – wait how much stuff do you have?

The NmG, with its one year limited warranty, can be repaired for warranty or service work at Myers Motors' facility in Tallmadge, Ohio. For NmGs outside the service area of Tallmadge, Ohio, Myers Motors has found it extremely easy to find qualified, established, repair facilities to perform any necessary work. Myers Motors will find a facility for your vehicle to be serviced should that need arise. Myers Motors can establish this before or after you take delivery of your vehicle.

Interest and ownership of electric vehicles continues to grow at an amazing pace. Myers Motors plans to develop and maintain a leadership position in this technology revolution. We plan to develop more electric vehicle styles to provide our customers with additional choices. Putting practical, all-electric vehicles in every two-car garage will drastically reduce our dependence on foreign oil and reduce the problems associated with burning that oil. Myers Motors believes electric vehicles have the potential to be the most viable transportation future because electric vehicles:

• charge at an already ubiquitous fueling infrastructure (110 volt and 220 volt outlets);

• have fuel costs cheaper than gasoline or hydrogen will ever be (less than $0.02 per mile);

• provide freedom from our dependence on foreign sources of energy

• already possess a range that meets well over 60% of all personal vehicle daily range requirements (the average person drives less than 30 miles per day; the average trip is less than 10 miles)

• don't pollute, and are fun to drive and to be seen driving.

1 VOC, or volatile organic compounds, are different types of carbon particles that contribute to smog and ozone pollution.
