Event Report
The East Coast Electric Speed Shop, ECESS, opened a larger facility in Raleigh to go with their downtown Chapel Hill shop. TEVA of NC partnered with ECESS to hold Light EV test rides from the store.Wonderful hors d'oeuvres were served from the owner's restaurant, Linda's Bar & Grill.
Over the course of the afternoon about 100 people came in and out of the store and a bit more than 1/3 of those ride custom ebikes that are the staple of ECESS offerings. About a baker's dozen kids rode HoverKarts in the large back area of the new ECESS store.
This was a great early 2023 Drive Electric EVent!
