Ethanol is receiving a boost from a celebrity motorcycle designer.
The Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) commissioned Paul Jr. of American Chopper fame to build a high-performance motorcycle that runs on E85 fuel. RFA’s Robert White says they’re hoping to convince motorcycle enthusiasts and other small engine owners that ethanol is safe to use.
“The small engines and off-road engines are about three percent of the market—but they’re about 90 percent of the negativity,” White says.
