Pulling into Jones Farm in a Human-Electric Hybrid

This is an electric-assisted velomobile called the Go-One. I commute in it from SE Portland to Hillsboro (20 miles) on a frequent basis. Zero gas consumption, and just the right amount of exercise!

This is a speed bump for my Hummer!

[mshults99]

You and I probably have the same attitude toward the Prius. I call them 'smugmobiles'. Reminds me of a good bumper sticker - "any green slogan on a car is an oxymoron!". Enjoy your Hummer.

loll i just thought of that thing getting owned on that first turn in by a hummer... ouch

i think we should use electric vehicles assisted by 100cc engines to recharge teh teh teh powaz! lol

[mshults99]

I've looked into the possibility of gasoline assist. It's an option. It'd be instead of electric, not in addition to, however, for weight reasons. In terms of speed and range, however, you can't beat gas engines. I figure I'd get about 400 miles per gallon!

I hope you die in your hummer. LOL

i love the futuristic design, has a nice sci-fi feel to it!

I would LOVE to have one of these. We need velomobiles to be mass produced so they are readily available (I can't buy one locally where I live) and so the price comes down.

HAha awesome design, shame price. Id make something a little different myself for free

[kombatjesus]

Does it get hot in that frickin thing or what!?!?!!?!?

[studleylee]

Cool that you can park it like a bicycle/motorcycle.

@mshults99 prius's are for people with too much money. a prius can NEVER save the average person a dime. I did the math. to save you one penny compared to say a elantra at 42mpg would take JUST OVER 100 years assuming it needed no repairs. Ouch. would take me almost 40 years at my 40,000 miles a year. Geo metro all the way $600 54mpg :-) at least till I can build an EV :-)

@chumpychumpychump I stand corrected. So true. Yet so sad.

@mphello

Under $5000 makes four. So you mean you have to give up one of those four qualities. Or make it yourself.

[mphello]

So sad: this video is 4 years old. Still, there exist NO

1) trikes

2) human-electric hybrids

3) totally enclosed

available for sale in the USA under $5000. Without a single exception, you have to give up at least 1 of these 3.
