electric motorcycles. By late 2000, POEM had reportedly sold over 3,000 electric vehicles to business customers in both domestic and export markets. Around 500 units were reportedly sold to Egyptian businessman, Mohamed Al-Fayed for use at his luxury department chain Harrods. At least 300 POEM vehicles were reportedly supplied to the organisers of the 1998 Commonwealth Games. POEM electric vehicles were also supplied to TNB power plants throughout Malaysia. POEM supplied at least 324 electric vehicles to Frazer-Nash Australia for sale to the organisers of the 2000 Summer Olympics, half of which were reportedly Solar Baby / Eleksuria models. The POEM units exported to Australia were marketed as Frazer-Nash vehicles instead. After the Olympics concluded, the organisers sold the various electric vehicles to private buyers and local establishments. However, a report by the Sydney Morning Herald later detailed how many of the vehicles had broken down by 2002, and that Frazer-Nash Australia couldn't service or repair them, as Frazer-Nash UK had by then cut-off financial support to their Australian branch. One such Eleksuria unit from the 2000 Summer Olympics is currently preserved at the National Transport Museum in Inverell, NSW.
