HumanCar coming in April with a $15,000 price tag
The HumanCar just might be an eco-loving carpooler's dream come true. Four seats and four rowing handles (for human-powered battery charging). The unique human-powered/electric hybrid vehicle will be available this coming Earth Day for a paltry $15,000.
I say this vehicle might be a dream come true because it's a little difficult to actually understand what this vehicle is. Look at the way the company describes the HumanCar:
Fine Print: Base price $15k of Imagine[TM] LMV exotic super-human hybrid electric vehicle with BodySteer[TM] chassis..: Above concept 'ideations' of Imagine[TM] by Mr. Stephen Brand. All elements subject to change. Earth Day 2008 Roll Out. The Imagine[TM] LMV will rock the world. Get involved. Imagine[TM] Electric Hybrid Pre-Order Information - The HumanCar(R) Imagine[TM] features an exoskeletal safety cage chassis, dual electric motors, variable human power input, Body-Steering[TM] patented chassis and SyncGuideway[TM] compatibility as standard equipment. It retails for $15k base.
Huh? 'Ideations'? Trademarking the word 'Imagine'? Is all this is too clear for you, feel free to download a confusingly-laid-out PDF brochure about the HumanCar.
