Feb 23, 2010: Human Car

[xoxoxoBruce]

Or should I say Human Powered Car... the greenies wet dream.

A bi-motion transmission converts oscillatory motion (rowing action) into rotational motion, turning the wheels fast enough to allow the HumanCar and a determined crew to keep up with urban traffic. To steer, occupants lean left or right, motorcycle-style, which actuates the steering mechanism and turns the front wheels. Greenwood is currently accepting pre-orders on the production model, which will be priced somewhere between $5,000 and $17,000. Eat your Wheaties, commuters: This is really a muscle car.

Power: human
Top Speed: 30 mph cruising / 50+ mph downhill (est.)

Good grief, this will do wonders for traffic.
