‘ELF’ – a solar and pedal powered electric hybrid vehicle by organic transit

classified as a bicycle in all 50 states, ‘ELF’, the three-wheeled solar and pedal powered electric assist velomobile by american organic transit hybridizes the advantages of bicycle and automotive transportation into a waterproof body. fully equipped with lights, signals, and mirrors, the one-seater incorporates 60 watt roof top solar panels that charge the vehicle’s 480w lithium battery to provide up to a 30 mile range when full.

made with 45% recycled aluminum and a vacuum formed trylon (composite of 85% recycled ABS and solarcote) frame, the shell and 26 inch high volume front and rear wheels with disk brakes provide safety, while still efficiently fitting into standard bike lanes.
