St. Croix resident Archie Corbett has figured out how to cut his gasoline use almost to zero. In 2014 he bought an Elf. By legal definition the Elf is a bicycle, but as Archie drives it around the island it works as good as a car.
It has a solar-charged battery that assists his pedalling. He often keeps the vehicle going as fast as any U.S. Virgin Island road can take.
He not only saves on gas money, he gets good exercise. But if he is lazy he lets the battery charged by solar panels on the roof do all the work.
