Human-powered car nears production


With four people inside, it can operate on human power alone; with only one, the electric motor kicks in. According to developer Charles Samuel Greenwood, it can reach 60mph on flat terrain, and can manage 30mph uphill.

It's not the world's first human-powered car - but it is unusual in that Greenwood reckons he'll be able to put it into production next year. He's already taking orders with a $50 downpayment, and says he's had over 100 so far.

"We are an independent company with no outside funding, so the reservations are the building blocks to delivering these vehicles to you at $15,500," he says.

"Bottom line is they cost a lot to make, and at $15.5k it is a bargain. Believe us, you will get the $15.5k back in value your first year."
