We're thinking its designer, only known to us as Brian (he wasn't available for comment in time for this post), is naming his creation after himself: a Bri-Cycle. Whatever the case may be, he's designed a clever electric trike out of plywood, epoxy and fiberglass cloth with fully working steering, brakes and suspension. Its purpose? To allow those of us who hop in the car alone — to go to work, a movie, the store and so on — to do so in a way that is easy on the environment and saves our gas money, to boot. You could just hop on your bike or a scooter, of course, but the Bricycle offers more-comfortable seating. Brian's single-seater Bricycle is still just a prototype, but one that's nearing completion. It's got a 48-volt motor at the front of the vehicle and 21 different speeds, just like a bike.See less »
