Transport
Organic Transit only recommends transport of your ELF in an enclosed trailer or truck. Exposure
to high winds in an open truck or trailer can cause damage to your ELF. The dimensions are
roughly 9’ long x 4’0.25” wide x 5’1” tall.
Security
When leaving your ELF unattended, we recommend that you first remove the ignition key and
then lock your ELF. To do so, we suggest using a U-lock with a cable attachment to run through
the rear tire or a portion of the frame and around a post or bike rack to prevent it from being
stolen. You may also secure the U-lock through the pedal crankset and around the frame as
shown below.
We also recommend that you make a note of your serial number whenever you purchase your
ELF. If your ELF is stolen, the serial number will be very helpful in trying to recover the vehicle.
The serial number is etched into the frame of the ELF between the pedals and the seat.
