60 mph Human car?
The HumanCar Company has updated the concept by giving the purely pedal-driven vehicles an electric motor and updated ergonomics. The company says that the "geometry prototype", has been "so successful that no changes have been required. Several downhill time trial runs have had the car above 60+mph with incredible handling and BodySteer(R) characteristics. The steel tube space frame chassis features a bi-lateral human power interface and front passenger body-steering capabilities." One neat feature is that the HumanCar is steered by "body angulation of the two front operators".
