Premium Pedal-Powered Cars

This Luxury Bicycle Vehicle Requires You to Work from the Waist Down

— January 13, 2015 — Autos
Over the course of human history, more money and advancing technologies have allowed certain communities to get through life with more convenience. It's interesting to consider the creation of this particular luxury bicycle vehicle, because it appears to cost a pretty penny while requiring you to work.

In attendance at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, FuturePeople presented their model of the Cyclone -- quite in contrast to many of the hi-tech automobiles at the event. Even at first glance, this car certainly sticks out, with its boxy 1920s-inpsired body and its brushed aluminum accents. The narrow wheels are a sure giveaway of the inner workings of this vehicle; have a look beneath the front seats, where an engine might be stored, and you'll discover the mechanics of bicycle pedals. Together, the driver and the passenger keep this luxury rickshaw moving as they sit on fine leather seats.
