Velocars in Vancouver

Sorry K-Car fans. Not a Veloster thread.

Technology popular in 1930s France may drive the next major innovation in Metro Vancouver’s car-share scene.

VeloMetro is reviving the 80-year-old velocar, a lightweight pedal-powered car — but adding a 21st-century twist of electricity and an energy-recovery brake system to help users climb hills and travel longer distances.

This is kinda rad. I mean I can see the problems with introducing these to our streets. They're kinda fat for bike lanes and 32 top speed isn't fast enough for Kingsway. Thoughts?
