Tired of supporting the big oil companies? Can’t wait for an all-electric car? Maybe this is your answer: a 4 hp (humanpower) vehicle to do your grocery shopping. It’s called the HumanCar.
The inventor says there are 30 million people in the United States that could use a car like this. You’ll get plenty of fresh air, plenty of exercise, and certainly plenty of stares. It’s actually a hybrid, with a small electric motor. And they say it will be on the market in 2011.
Watch the video and let us know if this appeals to you.

+ add your ownlove the idea, needs a solution for rainy days though.
great idea... thanks
Love the idea.
Thanks.
haha great article,thanks :)
Hehe, it looks cool, but what I really miss is the "bad weather" solution. It's the same problem I have with my bike - I bike around for 5 months of the year, but need a solution for those 7 months of rain and snow!
LOL XD
I love the concept, and in long commutes, you could stay in shape when your workout time is cut or omitted from your routine because of commuting. I am curious about the safety issues, and options for bad weather use...otherwise great!
For bad weather it needs a lid. I do like it !
I am always amazed at how people think ~ I love the car! Genius!
Obviously this is a early prototype and would need all the safety features ect...but I would definetly be into one. I think it's awesome. I live on a small island and this is perfect. I'd like a steering wheel though...and a roof. It rains alot here. I love inventors who aren't afraid of big wigs.
