* Human Powered Vehicle
Is it a toy? Is it practical? If it takes your entire body to power it, how easy is it to steer? Sooooo many questions… in the meantime, it looks very cool.
I received an email from the ol SciFi.Com folks … and since I have been a fan of recumbent bikes, I thought I’d give it a look. The HyperBike folks have a nice web site and it looks like they have more in the future:
“For the next prototype, which he hopes to begin work on soon, DeForest has garnered technical assistance that begins to address some of the issues the current prototype presents. He has attracted attention from the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program, a NASA-funded program based in Florida with offices throughout the country.”
For the rest of us… we’ll have to see if this develops into something practical… it already looks fun!
