E-Bike share taking shape during earth month

We have made significant (visible) progress in the past couple of weeks, pushing forward with assembling the hardware and wiring. We have a finished five-bike rack (with the exception of the ramp to step up to the platform, a mostly-complete kiosk, and some control software finished. A couple of hiccups on bike alignment etc, but nothing we can't handle. We are pushing hard to have this out in the real-world in the next couple of weeks, hoping to run it through the ropes with some actual beta-testers and learn some things before we go to work on the second station. Keep an eye out on UT campus and fill in the volunteer form on the website (cycleushare.com) if you are in the UT community and would like to be one of our early testers.
