The ELF - Affordable green transportation [View all]

[Shankapotomus]

This is a green vehicle by a company called Organic Transit.

Their successful Kickstarter campaign page:

I hope one day we are all driving Elf's or something just as clean and economical but maybe a little faster.

To me this kind of transportation is like a horse and buggy days in terms of speed, but without the horse and the humane issues.

Whenever someone points out the speed restrictions of these kind of vehicles compared to gas powered ones, I think about how the colonists got along with just the horse and buggy. They still traveled, albeit it took longer, but they survived. They just allotted more time for their trips but life still went on. I bet they would have loved to have this technology back then.

And if it helps clean up the air and save the planet today, I'm game for a slower paced life style.
