Pterosail™ Trike Systems
Wow, I've said before that I think one of the problems with "alternative vehicles" and EVs is that designers only step outside of the box enough to change the vehicles propulsion system. All the other design descions seem based on, "Well, now how do we make it look like a car/motorcycle/steam locomotive and still work with this new dilithium crystal drive?"
Well here's a vehicle that really jumps outside the box. A wind/electric/human powered trike. Yeah, you read that right. Wind! There is also an option for a small rollable solar panel canopy, mostly intended for charging small personal electronics, like cell phones and ipods. They have also integrated regenerative braking into this baby.
It looks like it's still in production, because there is no purchase information on the site. Let's hope they make it to market, 'cause this might just make the mid-West fun again!
