Elf - bbqboy - 11-30-2012 http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/842248593/roll-out-the-elf-to-your-city cool solar powered tricycle-video in article above RE: Elf - PonderThis - 11-30-2012 What an interesting story. RE: Elf - bbqboy - 11-30-2012 I want one. RE: Elf - tvguy - 11-30-2012 Pretty cool but solar powered? With one little 60 watt solar panel? I wonder how long it would take to charge the batteries with the sun RE: Elf - chuck white - 11-30-2012 (11-30-2012, 06:59 PM)tvguy Wrote: Pretty cool but solar powered?

RE: Elf - csrowan - 11-30-2012 I think it said it's the equivalent of 1800 mpg with a 170lb person. That's what sticks in my head, but I don't feel like checking.

RE: Elf - chuck white - 11-30-2012 Solar is not as good up in Oregon, as it would be in Southern California. What we need is a windmill car. |
