How to get around

A car that runs on muscle power


The philosophy is simple: The harder you row, the faster you go.

A bi-motion transmission converts the rowing action into rotational motion, thus turning the wheels fast enough to allow the car to move and keep up with urban traffic. To steer, occupants have to lean left or right, motorcycle-style. This activates the steering mechanism and turns the front wheels.

Good workout, huh?

Well, if you aren't the exercising kind, there's an electric motor to help you along the way.
