June 13, 2009 - Mayor Ed Hagedorn of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines, wanted to know if our 3000watt electric motorcycle would pull an existing side car used on 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 an Etrike prototype was ready for testing by 8am the following morning. 
We brought the finished eTrike to show Mayor Hagedorn the results. He inspected it and then had one of his drivers test it. Later he decided to test it for himself. The Mayor took off on it like it was a Ferrari! Each of us took turns taking the mayor around the compound on the new Etrike! Even Diana Limjoco, CFO of Digital Web Group, Inc. had to get in on the action."
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.
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.

The study was to test the ability of this 3000 watt electric motorcycle 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.
