Goblin Motors
GoblinAero is a human-powered or motor assisted velomobile from Goblin Motors that will be available February 2009. This could be an awesome solution to the once again rising gas prices – and you know it will only go higher – maybe much higher. (which might not be so bad when you thing about it) The motor assisted option Goblin has either a Honda 35cc or 50cc engine which can give you up to 150 miles a gallon. Great for errands such as trips to the supermarket – the rear truck can hold 5 bags of groceries. Maybe even your daily commute to work. Can get up to 30 mph on a flat surface and is able to drive up steep hills with no problem – tested on the 9000ft Mt. Lemmon in Tucson, Az. It has 8″ disc brakes and as this vehicle is such a head-turner most people will likely take notice and give you lots of room which should enhance safety. If we could only melt down some hummers and recycle them into these!

I think this is great! A while back I made a velomobile that has bicycle pedals and a 27cc weed eater motor. It gets about 200mpg, and has a full body. While they’re not meant to take the place of cars, they do relieve the wallet much so. It takes a few weeks to go through a gallon of gas with my velo,and it’s bright yellow paint assures that it will be seen easily in traffic. This is a real solution, here!
