Human Powered Car



Human energy is commonly used to propel a bicycle but now it can also be used to generate electricity and power a car. A zero emissions car that uses a push- pull hand mechanism to provide power to batteries that drive electric motors.

The one draw back is that the vehicle is only legal to drive in city streets with a speed limit of 35mph or less.
