San Francisco, California Jan 18, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Organic Transit, makers of the award-winning and popular ELF solar electric bike and micro-vehicle, are offering their company for sale.
Organic Transit created a successful, sustainable micro-vehicle that works in rain, wind, snow, runs on solar, can be pedaled or not, weighs only 160 pounds, can transport 1 to 3 people, 8 bags of groceries, pets, is safety tested and yet considered a bicycle that can ride in bike lanes and on the road up to 30 mph. It can carry up to 550 pounds. It has already been used as a delivery vehicle, a bookmobile, mobile food stand, and for trips to the grocery store by more than 850 satisfied owners. It has traveled 10 million miles in 12 countries. If docked in a city, it could be rented with an app. It is fun to ride and is easy for anyone to use, including people with balance issues, fear of falling on a 2 wheel bike and those who avoid biking in the rain.
Organic Transit, has already been making the earth cleaner and cooler with the ELF, this popular and well-loved solar, covered 3 wheel vehicle. Many of the ELFs tested in southern climates have not been plugged in for more than 3 years. In places where it is sunny, the ELF is efficient enough to run on solar only, provided from the built-in roof panel. When plugged in they recharge in just 2.5 hours on regular household current.
Rob Cotter, inventor and founder of Organic Transit says, “Think of a really excellent bike and how that feels to be zipping around, like an extension of your own body. This is what it feels like to drive an ELF.” Cotter is a former Porche and BMW builder who worked on race cars and high-performance race bikes. With his expert understanding of wind, speed and safety in aerodynamic manufacturing, he engineered the ELF to feel like a bike, but carry additional passengers and cargo in a locked “trunk”, like a car. It has turn signals, headlights, brake lights, a horn and 2 side-view mirrors. It can drive up to 30 miles per hour. It has been in just 20 accidents in over 6 years and had no severe injuries because it has a kayak-tough body with crumple zones built-in. It has been pushed by a truck when hitting at 50 mph, but the ELF slid along with the truck and no one has been killed. There have been no recalls or fires with any of the 850 vehicles sold. The ELF is safer, more durable, and has a greater carrying capacity than electric scooters and bikes, and it is more compact, efficient, and versatile than cars.
The ELF is a net positive vehicle. The manufacturing of an ELF produces <1% CO2 of what it takes to build a car. ELFs have the potential to reduce gigatons of CO2 in the atmosphere. 80% of an ELF’s lifetime carbon footprint is from delivering it to the customer. From that moment, it begins to diminish its carbon footprint, making it a true net positive vehicle. Cotter has consulted with New York City on delivery bike-sharing vehicles that are now used on NYC’s network of bike paths. He is open to the possibility of staying with the company in a consulting capacity when it is sold.
