Hands-On With Organic Transit’s Pedal-Solar Electric Hybrid Vehicle, “The Elf”
19th July 2012
The vehicles come in two models currently, The Elf which can hold up to 150lbs, and the TruckIt, which can handle an 800lb payload. Both have solar charged batteries that can last for 30 miles before switching to pedaling mode, and they have turn signals, brake lights and front headlights. They even have side mirrors.
Great for a Soap Box Derby.
It’s one of those products that — given the right financing and marketing — could be completely disruptive in Urban areas.
Message: Hey, there’s government money available for ‘green’ products! Let’s go get us some!
‘Financing’ : Getting a sufficiently high government subsidy. ‘Marketing’ : Hiring the right lobbyists to get on the gravy train. ‘Completely disruptive’ : the effect on your family budget when taxes go through the roof to pay for this horseshit.
