Really? Mental!
Not really solving any problem, it's it. It'll never catch on.
An enclosed trike or bike with space for two and a waterproof cover, maybe even with an electric motor (e-trike™) would be a better solution to commuting in cities.
Sounds good
A petrol-powered pedal-car? Occupies the same space on the road as a regular petrol-powered car. Â How much fuel does the human input save? Per mile? Â On average?
I think it's more about exercising on your journey ..
I've always wanted an A4 that smells just like somebody sleeps in it
I got one like that! But mine only has 2 wheels... er, and no bodywork.. or roof. It has pedals though and gives me a workout on my commute! And I don’t have to sit behind all the other cars 😁
So increased requirement for AC yet no overall benefit to pollution or roadspace.
First two comments under the article say it all IMO.
Riding a bike = insane because people who ride bikes are insane.
Pedaling (sic) an exercise bike located onboard a polluting combustion engine within a 1.5 ton steel box with AC running high and constant to keep cool = the only sane commuting option. Â Especially as the energy from pedalling is 99% wasted as it simply signals the vehicles accelerator.
When the self-driving shuttles finally arrive en-masse then he can install a full multi-gym in those bad boys. Â No need to go outside ever.
Bin dun hasn't it?
and dun again. and again
Didn't there used to be a bike attachment for the PS2 so you could use a turbo trainer as the throttle and turn Gran Turismo into a sort of Zwift?
