SEE A NEW DESIGN BIKE THAT CAN MOVE AS FAST AS A CAR
The above picture is a new design
bike made by Rich Kronfield to move as fast as a car can move, according to the
maker of the Bike, it was made because these pedal-powered machines can't go as
fast, these vehicles have up until now been relegated to the travelling on the
side of the road.
'The Raht Racer is a power biking
vehicle that uses state of the art pedal-electric hybrid technology to amplify
pedal power, enabling the rider's legs to propel the vehicle up to highway
speeds, giving the rider the feeling of super strength,' Mr Kronfield says.
According to the manufacturer of the bike the below is how
the bike works
The Raht Racer's pedals are connected to a unique flywheel
generator rather than of directly driving the wheels, as in a traditional
velomobile.
The pedals power a 20-kWh electric motor, which sits in the
rear wheel hub. 
It senses the torque being applied to the pedals, and then
amplifies it so that most people can maintain a cruising speed of around 30 mph
(48 km/h). 
During pedalling, a 2-kWh li-ion battery pack also gets
charged to help extend the 570lb (259kg) velomobiles range.
When activated in throttle mode, using just battery power,
it has a range of approximately 50 miles (80 km) and a top speed of 100 mph
(160 km/h).
