You have some very good ideas there, Brian. I love the spirit of what you're doing. I especially love that your dogs go with you. I wish I had a rig that would permit that in my case with two sheep dogs. Cheers.
I just picked Ip a used one today and taking it to work tomorrow. I love the inside wheel covers and going to make my own doors since it’s become difficult to get part. Really looking forward to fixing mine up. Thanks for sharing! This is great!!!
I love the dogs!! The wheel wells are great. I love the idea of a full door with a window. I have wondered how you stay dry in these with an open floor and no doors.
These is so neat! This is clearly the future of travel. I’ve always wandered when they bridge the gap between walking and driving a car. No one likes to walk everywhere. And cars nowadays cost like $50,000 new. The elf is pretty neat and looks cozy.
Very nice video, thank you for posting, I live near Belleville, I am in Riverview, hope I can see you riding one day. I really want to get into a greener transportation
m907 is right about the mod, but does the windows not fog up when sealing off the cab? the air underneath help reduce the fog? Also it would have been interesting to know the temperature inside before and after the ride.
I really like that bike/car. But I don't like that there's no bottom. Also can u see with the fog build up? I want to buy one, which one I don't know yet. Thanks
NICE job, they should make it like this straight out of the factory. too bad the pedals are so close to the ground, if they were a few inches higher one could easily enclose the entire floor area.
We don't get "soaking wet", we can slow down a bit on those few occasions when a sharp turn in standing water will happen. There are 2 door styles sold for the ELF but making your own is good too. I do not want doors on mine.
@@ronkemp9528 I was a Seattle bike commuter for 10 years. I would have given anything to have a roof and windshield on my bike. Wet elbows and a tiny bit of spray? I wish......
@@popeyegordon I have a roof and windshield on my upright RadRover ebike. It was a Veltop Classic 2+ model and is about 7 years old. I replaced the fiber rod extensions that held up the roof (easily removed) with two stainless steel whip antennas cut to the right length and this works great. I also wear leg gaiters to not get my lower parts of my leg and my boots wet.
@@m9078jk3 Works for you but I meant the roof and windshield of the ELF body shell that protects me here in Florida. I don't take the sun well and I like hauling all purchases completely out of the weather. Almost every day I haul recycling to various locations including bulky cardboard. I get collision protection from the full shell. I have hauled 12 one gallon jugs of water with room for 2 more, I hauled potted shrubs for landscaping that made it look like I was driving a jungle around. I have a trailer for hauling larger things. The high visibility, full lighting and signals and loud horn has saved me from dicey situations. If I lose my ELF I will buy another or similar new version but the PEBL is too hot and heavy for me.
I love the make the world green part n the innovations are over the roof simple n in line with nature please help Africa we are racing to choke but we don't know that due to greed
I wonder if you or someone else could extend the back of the velo, add a few more wheels, and make a bed, and a place to put something like a cooking stove or, I don't know, a tiny shower. I am always coming up with stuff like that in my head. Haha.
If there was a floor board would you not get wet from rain or snow? I just watched a video of a guy getting soaked driving in the rain in an elf when he'd hit a puddle.
Most useless Flintstones design ever! Wouldn't it be easier to buy the oldest, cheapest and most rotten car for 1$ to have much more comfort and ease of ride than this plastic bowl?
Those are some impressive mods in the front, Brian. First question is do you have full turning radius clearance for sharp low speed maneuvers with the enclosures? And your readout showed no battery voltage drop or current draw when you engaged your motors. Did you disconnect something? In Florida I need wheel well ventilation but many northern owners will be very interested with your mods so I am sharing your video with our large FB owners group. They may have more questions.
Yes you can turn the full radius with the enclosures. The 2nd cyclone motor uses a separate controller and doesn't use the cycle analyst. That's why you didn't see a current draw on the cycle analyst. I will remove the cyclone geared motor and use it on some future project. Its a bit loud, slow and really didn't improve my hill climbing ability. Im looking at installing a higher watt and torque motor to replace the current ELF motor. By the way, my current ELF motor is a GRIN TEch 1000 watt motor with 40 amp GRIN Tech controller. I burnt up my original elf motor many moons ago...ha. My own fault, look what I pull.
@@brianduncan2149 Have you seen the video of that eccentric old guy who is crossing the US in n ELF plastered with Jesus signs while towing a heavy trailer loaded with 400 watts worth of solar panels? When he hit the first mountain range he added a second sprocket to gear down his motor for mountain grades. He probably had no other choice.
I haven't see that. Can you send the link. A problem that I found while bicycle touring is high cross winds in mountain passes and lack of any shoulder. At least that was the issue in the southern tiers. As far as the grade you can always get out of the elf and reach in and press the throttle and walk it up the mountain. I have done that once or twice on long big hills. @@popeyegordon
Greetings Brian, Did you add a video of how you made those hub enclosures out of the composite material? I really like those and would like to make some...if no video exists, do you have plans?
If I find time I might put together a video. I just used cardboard sheets and pushed them in the wheel well then used a black marker. I made them out of cardboard. Then used the cardboard as a template. Then made them from composite material transferred from the cardboard template.
This is my third comment now but hopefully you will see it. Please look up "CGS Hawk ultralite" aircraft. Can you imagine the ELF as the cockpit? You could go from flying to driving/cycling quickly.
Ever get a flat yet? How did that go? I like the idea of this but..I've ridden thousands of miles on bicycles and the rear tire would be the one to get a puncture. Motorcycles, the same thing. Many roadside repairs.
Wow. Just discovered you. Wow I Like it & wish mi would have one too. Who knows maybe one fine day... Very good o. Subbed. Well wishings. All the best.
did you keep the wind diverter (bottom cardboard piece) any ideas on how to make a bottom floor that can be easily be removed or flipped out so one can use thier feet to move backwards.
The ELF is like most ebikes - an infinite spectrum between pedaling only and motor only. It is up to the driver how much effort is expended. If you were talking in a video would you work hard so you are breathless?
Your doggy-dude friends have got so much spare energy! Have you ever considered making some harnesses and reins and letting the dogs run in front of you? Er, you could fix the ends of the reins to some sturdy bracket somewhere... Oh, I don't know, perhaps on the front of the ELF? And with all that snow and muck and slush on the ground, you'd be remiss if you didn't call out to warn the dogs to stay clear of it. Muck, slush, muckslush... Say it quickly and it sounds a bit like "MUSH." Hmm. Fancy that. I'm sure the huskies - I mean doggies - would enjoy the exercise, and you'd probably not have to pedal quite so hard on the hills... ;-)
Depends, I ride the elf for fun. If you live close to work and in a city, then you could replace your car with an elf . Then you could think of the elf as an investment because is cheaper than a car, doesn't require insurance and doesn't use gas ect. As you can imagine the ELF has a lots of positive aspects. I love my elf.
The comments on the latest video are off. I wanted to ask... what if you got a small peloton of cyclists all in these at once but literally hooked them up like a train? I wonder what speeds could be held and for how long on the flats?
I made fabric doors, and I haven't had time to post a video, I will look at making fabric sip in wheel wells next year. I don't have time to manufacture any parts and sell them.
Hello Brian, My doors are working out great. Did you make a video of how to make the wheel enclosures? I noticed you used two types of corrugated plastic. Would it be feasible to use just the thin black one? I also see zip cords. I also like the little cardboard rain flap. Do you have an idea for rain splash from the rear wheel? I tried a fender but it wouldn’t fit under the storage area. One more thing. Is that a No Trespassing sign I see?
Far cheaper than two car doors. And every penny invested in an ELF gives back 4 cents over a 10 year period. It saves you $30,000 every ten years you don't own a car.
Elf mobile is really cool but just for those who have a lot of extra cash to blow on toys. Unless someone buy it for you, this is not cheap transportation.
used they are $4000. most people spend about $1200 on taxes and insurance per year in usa. so if you can replace a car, or can't drive a car it makes sense.
I got rid of my car 6 years ago when I bought the ELF. I have saved $18,000 so far by not owning a car. That's always more expensive. ELF just has bike maintenance costs.
The mountain drive gearing is for steep grades in the western united states. For the most part Michigan doesn't have that many hills where its needed. This video is old where I was working out concepts. I made fabric doors and have a front 2 wheel drive motor system.
@@brianduncan2149 so you made it all-wheel drive? I'd love to try commuting in one of these. I've done 4 season commuting but less than 10 miles. Current commute is 28 miles.
No offense but needs a floor, or at least looks like it to me. Possibly just blocking the wind out is enough to stay warm ? Sure wish these would reach mass use in cities .
The Organic Transit owner group likes this video of yours I shared. Rob Cotter upvoted it with 10 others. I would struggle with the small area to climb in, lifting my old fat legs up over the well shrouds would be hard. I wonder if the center section of your wheel wells could be tapered down a lot since little extra room is needed when turning the wheels near the axle or top of the wheel.
I road a pebel this week. The pebel also has wheel well covers that stick out 4 inches or so. There about the same as mine. I don't think you can loose any distance off the width of the covers due to the wheel clearance. You would need to lengthen the feel shaft making the elf even wider.
@@brianduncan2149 If you drove a PEBL you know about that loud geared motor. I was referring to a scalloped wheel well with the center area only being tapered in where it needs no extra clearance during turns. The axle and top of wheel does not intrude more during turns, only the leading and trailing edge of the tire. That little additional area totaling almost two cubic feet would help me with my extra wide EEE duck feet that need extra room where my toes stick outward instead of straight ahead while in the pedaling position. I use the full platform pedals with heel cups. I ran across the mountain climbing ELF video by accident and don't remember how I found it.
You have some very good ideas there, Brian. I love the spirit of what you're doing. I especially love that your dogs go with you. I wish I had a rig that would permit that in my case with two sheep dogs. Cheers.

I'd be all over the place with 1 of those
Hello Brian, I keep checking back for more videos. Miss the updates, projects and Chandler and Cooper. Hoping all is well.
Stay tuned, I'm making doors and a floor with dual motor upgrade
The wheel wells make it more complete. Nice job.
Wow I'm impressed with the modifications/improvements you have done.
Thanks
m907 is right about the mod, but does the windows not fog up when sealing off the cab? the air underneath help reduce the fog? Also it would have been interesting to know the temperature inside before and after the ride.
@@cameranmanner4701 Yes the air flow helps reduce the fog on the windshield. Pluss you can remove the small window corner to improve air flow
My actual question is why the Elfs don't come with the wheels and floor opening sealed off from the outside elements like rain, wind and snow.
@land and sea; My thoughts exactly.
To reduce weight. The PEBL, which is similar in design to the ELF, does have full flooring, but the PEBL also weighs 70lbs more than the ELF.
What a neat little contraption!!! Would love to have one!!
Great videos !! really like the information and your travels with your dogs !! Thanks !
I really like that bike/car.
But I don't like that there's
no bottom. Also can u see
with the fog build up?
I want to buy one, which one I don't know yet.
Thanks
The dogs are so curious, very loveable animals.
ah..the Boston Terrier. I wish I could upload a shot of my Otis who JUST turned 15 years on the 24th. I love this Velomobile, nice work!
NICE job, they should make it like this straight out of the factory. too bad the pedals are so close to the ground, if they were a few inches higher one could easily enclose the entire floor area.
You are right, the ELF needs to be higher for a floor pan to work well
That's awesome man I want one but idk how NYC would feel about those riding ng around
I drive mine down town Detroit, fits great on Bicycle lanes.
Love your French bulldogs... And they love going out 😂
The dogs love there bicycle rides
@@brianduncan2149 And, another thing you can't do with a pet cat!
they're boston terriers
Thats great should be factory especially the wheel wells and gearing. Who wants to get soking wet when turning a corner.
We don't get "soaking wet", we can slow down a bit on those few occasions when a sharp turn in standing water will happen. There are 2 door styles sold for the ELF but making your own is good too. I do not want doors on mine.

This is so great! Greetings from Kzoo
So, it was a 2 dog day instead of a 3 dog night. 😄 Been wondering how this could be winterized. Looks like a good job. 👍
How do you see when it's raining or snowing, with no windshild wiper?
I wonder if you or someone else could extend the back of the velo, add a few more wheels, and make a bed, and a place to put something like a cooking stove or, I don't know, a tiny shower. I am always coming up with stuff like that in my head. Haha.
I'm building an off-road velo camper. For city treks n naps and for wilderness exploring and camping safe from bears. I'm soooooo done with driving 😊
Your dogs are very cool
If there was a floor board would you not get wet from rain or snow? I just watched a video of a guy getting soaked driving in the rain in an elf when he'd hit a puddle.
the wheel wells would block and spashes, there aren't any splashes in the middle of the bike, so you will stay dry.
Stay tuned Im making a floor and doors
Most useless Flintstones design ever! Wouldn't it be easier to buy the oldest, cheapest and most rotten car for 1$ to have much more comfort and ease of ride than this plastic bowl?
I don't get wet, the center hole in the floor is just enough to have good air flow so you dont get to hot.
@@brianduncan2149 Flintstones engineering!
Does it have hazards? Is there a video showing the lights and how to turn them on?
The noise would drive me nuts. Appreciate the review but I'll stick with my bike. Yikes.
Wow nice modification
Looking forward to an update vid on how your ELF held up.
cheers
Puppy heaters, love it.
If their electric build a floor you can lay down during the winter, or snowing of raining. Pull up when you need to peddle
Cute dogs!
Great video

"Winterproof" with open ground xDDD
you could close off the floor. I like it open so you don't overheat and fog up the windows.
@@brianduncan2149 then only a good heater is missing: D

They need to make an elf model with doors and a bottom. See PEBL, one of their competitors. I would prefer the Elf, but not without upgrade.

I have a feeling Jesus Christ is going to have all kinds of cool stuff in the Kingdom of Heaven like this
Do you have schematic drawings of how you built your wheel wells
Any reason you chose the ELF over the PEBL? I noticed the ELF doesn't have a windshield wiper were as the PEBL does. To me this is a major issue.
Do you have the info on the mountain drive you used? Thanks!
How does it have on the snow?
I have used it in light snow around 2-3 inches. It pedals just fine and is easy to drive
how are the doors holding up? I live in the carolinas and would only want them for Nov/Dec/Jan.
Love it!
Nice work!
Do you know where I might be able to buy one of these used? Or is there dyill sny units for sale at the company?
organic transit went backrupt. search craigslist and facebook marketplace and you might find one, but they are pretty rare.
I want an Elf in my area, Odessa,Tx
How much energy are you using?? You don’t seem to be breathing heavy? So I assume the vehicle is doing all the work?? Or most of it!!!!
The ELF is like most ebikes - an infinite spectrum between pedaling only and motor only. It is up to the driver how much effort is expended. If you were talking in a video would you work hard so you are breathless?

How do you keep your front windshield clear if you get some serious weather,, thanks love your videos
harry craft, my guess is that it doesn't have any.
you can add a manual windshield wiper,

Great vid - love your dogs
Do they use a lot of salt on the roads and if so how is it affecting the ELF
Cheers
Thanks....Yes they salt the roads heavy in michigan
They do use a lot of salt. There's no negative effect on the elf. Being stainless steel, aluminum for the most part there's no rust problems.

No its considered a bicycle and can go anywhere a bicycle can go

One more thing. Is that a No Trespassing sign I see?
cut the fender so it won't need to go under the trunk area.
Is there a reason why you don't seal off the floor opening?
Yes you get too hot, you need some air flow
Active suspension? No?
No, too heavy for an enclosed bike you pedal.
I'm almost amazed people buy these at those prices. $250 a door and no window. mental
Far cheaper than two car doors. And every penny invested in an ELF gives back 4 cents over a 10 year period. It saves you $30,000 every ten years you don't own a car.
