The Jaambaaro[Edit]
The Jaambaaro is a pedal-powered ambulance designed by Benoit Angibaud for regions that barely have roads and certainly very little transportation. “It features a canopy for keeping people out of the sun and a stretcher that the injured can be loaded on,’ ecofriend says. “Then the driver hops in front, gets to pedaling, and off they go. While many might argue at what pace it might really work and if pedal power is fast enough to save lives one can safely say that something is better than nothing!” Imagine this: The weekend whoopee assister (Viagra) overstays its welcome. You’re in your fifth hour of a four hour ordeal (as advertised on tv) and you need assistance. You call an ambulance to take you to the hospital because you sure can’t walk. Up rolls this little baby. Ha! You say? Not if you were in rural Africa and this was the only way to get to medical assistance.
 There are many villages across the developing world which could really use this and once again it is a concept that for me is awesome. But I would suggest the designers to maybe put in a solar panel on the canopy and an engine propelled by it just to save those crucial minutes that matter. Maybe will be a tad bit more expensive than this, but would be a lot, lot more effective.
