EM Dash is an open source hardware/software dashboard for electric motorcycles.
Launched on Jan 1, 2007, the goal of EM Dash is to provide hardware and software solutions to the growing community of motorcyclists who ride electric bikes. Each EM Dash can be built to meet the needs of the user. It can be as simple as a speedometer with a voltmeter or more complex with GPS, accelerometer, data logging, and more. Whatever you can dream up.
In typography the em dash indicates a sudden break in thought. It's the abbreviation for electric motorcycle. Lastly, 'em' is the phonetic of my first initial and dash is a control panel located under the windscreen of a motorcycle. It contains indicators, dials, controls and displays to assist operation of the vehicle.
