HumanCar is the world’s first practical human powered four passenger car.
Designed by Charles Greenwood, the vehicle is powered by a rowing-like motion that is converted into rotational power. Alternatively, built-in electric motor helps power the car when it is being operated by only one person.
Leaning motion from one or more occupants directs the car. Regenerative braking and an advanced power system enhance overall efficiency.
The retail price of a human powered electric car is expected to be $15,500.

Looks fun until you collide with an SUV, or a smart car for that matter.

If it really works with four rowers why didn’t they show it? Using the electric motor isn’t new.

Well, I’d go crazy if I was stuck in traffic behind one.
