In new vehicle innovation, Michigan stands on its own two wheels

With alternative transportation continuing to make inroads worldwide, Michigan could become as known for its two-wheel vehicles as it is for cars.

Excerpt:

"A few weeks ago, at the annual conference of the  Indus  Entrepreneurs  in Silicon Valley, I was on hand to watch the global launch of the  GenZE, a hip, new two-wheeler brought to you by  Mahindra, the Indian conglomerate that makes everything from tractors to cars and also is one of the largest technology companies in the world.       The GenZE is one of the latest’s products designed to meet the needs of Millenial’s and those seeking to reduce their environmental foot print.   What is most important about its launch from my perspective, is how GenZE is the product of three great ecosystems – that of Mahindra itself, of Silicon Valley, where it is headquartered, and of Michigan, where it is being produced.

The GenZE strives to redefine the two-wheel riding experience in the United States.   It has a storage bin behind the seat that can comfortably hold groceries, books or small boxes.   Its aluminum exo-skeleton is strong, and trendy enough for today’s college hipsters.   And of course, it has a computer touch screen complete with navigation, weather and downloadable apps to help you with your riding experience.   The GenZE also made sure to have power ports for your cell phones and laptops."
