.."A solar panel built-into the roof powers the 600-watt electric motor for up to 45 miles on a single charge or 100 miles when combined with pedaling. The velomobile travels up to 20 mph when propelled by just the motor or up to 30 mph in pedal-assist mode, thanks to a continuously variable transmission that allows smooth, natural pedaling synchronized with the motor. The velomobile’s aircraft-grade aluminum frame, stainless steel hardware, and durable carbon fiber body withstand exposure to rain and sun."....

Petroleum Blues Poem

Future does not come without costs in present. Out with the old in with the new.

Make new mobile units, trash the old, one is silver greenhouse gases, other is golden cleaner energy.

It really isn't road worthy though. How well is that thing going to handle potholes? It isn't like a bike where you can avoid them, the profile is too wide. It is a solar powered golf cart.
