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!

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.

I hope you die in your hummer. LOL

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.

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.
