Human Run Automobiles Are Not Simply On The Flintstones
In the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon "The Flintstones," vehicles were all run by foot. The first vehicle driven by human power on a large scale was the bicycle. There hasn't been a titanic amount of improvement on that basic mechanism. Until now, that is. There's a design firm from Oregon that has come up with a man run automobile suitable for urban and residential travel. The vehicle they invented sustains 25 to 30 mph very easily and has electric assistance. It does not use any gas. It can whip you into shape too.
The HumanCar
Charles Greenwood saw the opportunity for a human powered vehicle for urban applications in the late '60s. He and the rest of the engineers and designers he works with have been at it for awhile. The goal was to create an automobile that could travel at automobile speeds with no engine to speak of. The automobile also provides a good workout, and produces zero emissions. You will find already 100 orders in. According to the Daily Mail, once orders hit 800 full production will start. The business has already done the math. Once full capacity production begins, it will already be profitable.
Rowing a customer base
Passengers use a rowing motion to drive. The HumanCar Imagine PS will very easily hold at 25 to 30 mph, however experimental models have been clocked at 60 mph. It seats four, however if fewer than three individuals are aboard, the motor can be used as a boost. Steering is done by leaning, similar to a motorcycle. Seniors actually got to drive it in testing and loved it, Greenwood routinely drives one and is over 60, so it isn't for the super fit.
Old principles
The vehicle is definitely aimed at within the town and around the block driving. It has approved for that purpose by the Department of Transportation. It is not brand new technology, really. Human powered autos have been made before. Other things like human powered airplanes like the Gossamer Condor and Gossamer Albatross are cool, but have no consumer purpose. It's an interesting coincidence. An auto for the future comes straight from "The Flintstones".
