Getting Take ‘n’ Bake Pizza Without Gasoline

It may seem a little silly, but in this coming age of expensive gasoline, every trip we make to buy something is going to have to be a decision about whether or not it’s really worth it. That $10 book at the book store could easy become $15 if your car isn’t very efficient and the drive is longer than a few miles. The same can be said of going out to get coffee, groceries, or even Take ‘n’ Bake pizza.

EcoModder forum member Ben Nelson recently posted about his inventive approach to getting pizza without using any gas. He took his DIY electric motorcycle, which is already pretty sweet, and attached a little delivery tray to the back, the likes of which I haven’t seen since the last time I was in Japan (where almost all deliveries are done on Honda Super Cubs):

There’s no arguing that the bike itself isn’t a sweet ride, but it gets even better when you see that not only can you carry a pizza, but that you have room for an extra-large:

Of course, the bike has to get its electricity from somewhere, but since it’s much more efficient than an internal combustion engine it uses less and can get power from renewable sources like green energy providers or your home’s own solar panels.

So, I applaud Ben for his creative methods of reducing gas use, and hope that others will follow in his footsteps. Especially with gas prices hitting all-time highs in the US, the case against gasoline is getting incredibly strong.
