I enjoyed that bunch O pics, thanks.
Ohh yea, 1st pic. WAAAy too much rolling resistance with all that rubber on the road. I wouldnt want anything to do w/ that thing.
You would be even less impressed if you saw it in a video.
The rear axle is eccentricly located.
With the axle in the one or two oclock position you jump down on the floorboard and as the axle moves to the six oclock position the vehicle rolls forward. Hop up to unweight as the axle move around to the one oclock position again and com down with your weight to repeat the cycle.
Hench the human body becomes the piston that powers it.
I have seen it achieve about 7 MPH while exhausting the rider.
The reason for the enormus tires is so that it will float when ridden into the bay.
