Good news for anyone who wants a little exercise as part of their morning commute: the HumanCar Imagine_PS is coming. The low-speed electric vehicle was supposed to arrive in 2008 with a $15,000 price tag, but HumanCar claims that the "e-hybrid with bionic assist" is finally on its way. Maybe. HumanCar says that the car might go into production after it gets 800 pre-orders. Does this mean the beginning of a revolution of people rowing their HumanCar vehicles like boats down the street? Probably not--even though the car is street legal, it looks pretty impractical for the price. Why not just ride a hybrid electric bike instead? Judge for yourself in the video below.
