Flinstone Inspired Pedal Car - Twike Electric Hybrid (VIDEO)
Twike Electric Hybrid

The Twike is the world’s first pedal-powered human electric hybrid car.

The company says this car can get up to speeds of 15-45 mph, with a 5 speed electric motor.

The unique aspect about this car is that it can run only with the pedal power provided by your feet, much like the Flinstone mobile. If you team up to pedal with another passenger, the combined power could generate up to 500 watts, which can increase the range of the car by an astounding 50%.

People are naturally lazy. Why pedal when you can just hop in a car and have it take you somewhere. The cost of fuel is going to have to get to about $8 a gallon before people will really think about human powered transportation. Read the latest edition of Popular Science discussing this concept. CEO's will continue to choose whatever transportation takes the least amount of time (charter helicopter, charter jets, etc...). WHen you put it into perspective, CEO's that make $5,000 an hour can afford something that cost $500 an hour (like a helicopter charter) because it is more beneficial overall for the company for them to use their brain then be stuck in traffic.
