I have NO IDEA how I stumbled on this one, (had so much fun watching the videos I forgot how I got there) but I discovered two things.
First: there’s a competition for economical alternative vehicles that’s going to have all of them racing in 2009/2010 - I’ve got to watch it! (and yes, these guys are racing in it too)
Second: I think the Twike just got de-throned. I SO want to try one of these. Strike that. I just WANT ONE!!!
I found two videos for it. First one is short and sharp, and the second one is Top Gear. If you watch that one (over 6 mins) you have to watch it all the way through - you get to see Jeremy Clarkson squeeze himself in the back seat - and the Hamster lets a little secret slip … (Yeah sure it was a joke!)
Video 1: (1m49s)
Video 2: TopGear (6m33s)
PS Just remembered where I got the tip. Damon Clifford’s blog. Thanks

But there are also literally hundreds of smaller players who’ve been developing alternative technologies, options and vehicle designs for over a decade now - some of which are amazingly clever (some of them look like heaps more fun, too. I want a Carver!) [...]
