Watching this video, the music to "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" was playing in my head. Well done!
I love the creativity of taking a hologen bulb and sticking it in one of the shop light aluminum lamp flood reflectors. And the wrench used as a bolt nut lock was very interesting and again very creative.
Thank you for sharing your video.

This electric trike is incredible. In one scene he locks the front brakes, pedals and uses the electric assist motor to burn some rubber. In another scene he has snow mobile ski's attached in place of the front wheels and uses his electric trike as a snow mobile.
For more info this trike the video directs people to: www.electric-cycle.com and refers to the trike as a RunAbout Cycle

This is a video news report from province of Ontario Canada, from 2006. It was a follow up report on the change in the law there which allows e-bikes to use the roads just like other bicycles. The law appears similar to the the California law CVC 24016 and CVC 406b (see: Electric Bicycle Laws wiki)
Representative of the "Electric Vehicle Council" of Ottawa by the "Ottawa Citizen Citydesk" tv show (also see; Ottawacitizen.com).

This video does a time lapse, side by side, comparison of how long and what it looks like to commute by electric bicycle (AKA e-bike) and a car. The electric bicycle brought the commuter to work in less than one forth of the the time, with some great scenery, sweat-free, and without burning any gasoline, etc.
Commute times:
-------------------------
electric bicycle - - 7 minutes and 20 seconds
car - - - - - - - - - 23 minutes and 11 seconds
(note: both start and end their commute at same locations. the e-bike is at the door to work 16 minutes before the car.)
Film Maker, Suitable Transport comment:
This is the reason why everyone should ride an electric bicycle.
