This [motorless scooter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightfoot-scooter) is powered by your sweat (and tears?)

The new human-powered Xcelerator Hypersonic Red which comes with a [steel down tube chassis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinite-machine-olto), is outfitted with an ergonomic propulsion T lever placed at the back of the scooter. The brakes consist of an alloy two finger lever and the Xcelerator comes in a tiny box and assembly is required but according to Bornrich. org, it takes less than one minute to assemble this good-looking scooter.
