The HumanCar:
the HumanCar

Inspired by the Flintmobile:
the Flintmobile

The HumanCar costs around $15,500, and is mainly made from recycled plastics. It weighs just 500 pounds and is powered by generating electricity from pumping several levers/handles, so you get exercise also. There’s an electric motor in case you get tired, too.
