If you've ever seen a Kinetic Skulpture race, you've probably seen John Montgomery or his sons, Gabe and Forrest, pedaling along in John's invention, the Autocanoe.

Basically a canoe on wheels, it goes on land or water, making it the perfect all-purpose vehicle for Port Townsend.

Now, Montgomery is peddling vehicles that are an equally good match for the community -- EVs, electric-powered vehicles.

``An EV is the perfect second car for Port Townsend,'' Montgomery said.

Montgomery is the new representative for MC Electric Vehicles, a Seattle dealership that has branches in Spokane and Portland.


For more information, phone Montgomery, 360-385-5226.
