Twike: The human-electric hybrid vehicle

Twike: The human-electric hybrid vehicle
A new concept of hybrid vehicles.

The Twike looks like a much more refined version of the famous Tuk-Tuks that are found in the kingdom of Thailand. This human-electric hybrid vehicle is capable of transporting a couple of passengers through any weather safely and comfortably without harming our already beleaguered environment. Each passenger will find a set of functional pedals at their feet, enabling them to navigate the vehicle from their seat. The special regenerative antilock braking system ensures that energy generated from deceleration is not wasted as it is recycled for use in the advanced computer battery instead. The Twike has a top speed of 85km/h with a 130km range per charge. I think this would be a big seller for those living within the city who want a clean and affordable mode of transport.
