I think this is awesome!

How would it go down over here, and mores to the point, when we doing it?

Do you think we should go RWD, and fit an LSD for roundabout sideways fun?

Definitly RWD will bald tires and a bit of oil and some frantic pedalling.

wtf is going on!?!?

How are they doing that?

[MrGman]

Am i right in thinking this would be perfectly road legal and there would be no need for tax, insurance or even a license of any kind?


Would cause havoc, could be a laugh though!!

Very interesting - a PH pedal powered forum car!

How about a pedal powered Locost 7!?

I think you could build a 4 seat version with a target weight of around 300kg.

Built with scavenged cycle components, narrow wheels (& cycle wings) with a (reasonably) aero nosecone & aero screen could even be reasonably quick too... relatively speaking!

I've got the Ron Champion book if somebody else has welding gear.

Come to think of it, it would be great for publicising PH at around the paddock at track events too (unsubtle sponsorship hint) - Wonder if any of the sevenesque manufacturers would be interested too?
