Presents miniature car with pedal drive

In the United States only began producing miniature cars with the name of the ELF in which the electric motor, it is powered by energy from solar panels, combined with a pedal. And one of the first of these vehicles straight from the factory went on a long journey through several States.





The first seventy-five such eco-friendly car was recently produced at the plant in North Carolina. And one of the owners of cars of the first batch, a teacher from Massachusetts named mark Stuart has decided not to pay additional thousand us dollars for shipping a car home, and personally deliver the car to your city, at the same time testing its capabilities.





Your way, the length of which is almost two thousand kilometers, Stewart dubbed the Odyssey, alluding to the long walks in search of the legendary home of the Greek hero. According to preliminary calculations, the trip will take about a month.





It should be recalled that the ELF can only move with the help of solar energy and power driver's legs. This vehicle is initially planned for urban trips rather than long distance. But this does not scare Mark Stewart, and for the first seven days he had already traveled about seven hundred miles. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/842248593/roll-out-the-elf-to-your-city/widget/video.html
