ORGANIC TRANSIT FORGES NEW PATH IN URBAN TRANSIT

摘要

Made by Organic Transit in Durham, North Carolina, the zero-emission, solar- pedal powered ELF is starting to change the way people commute, shop, and get around in cities and towns from Canada to Australia. "We're going for what's known in the bicycle industry as the great blue océan," says Rob Cotter, founder and CEO of Organic Transit. "It's those millions of people who would ride a bike instead of drive a car every day, if only it was safer, more stable, more visible in traffic, had some carrying capacity, and gave protection from the éléments," he adds. With the average urban car trip being a distance of two miles or under, more feet on the pedals and fewer pedals on the gas could become a growing sight in many urban centres. The ELF's three wheeled, tadpole design stands to be user-friendly for those who are not in the super athletic biking class.
