This electric-assist cargotrike is your ecological urban workhorse. It hauls 1/4 ton comfortably over hilly terrain, usually only needing a 1x/day recharge. Cars WILL see you in this behemoth or they will suffer the consequences. Get exercise and get around in cool comfort. Reappearing in '08 with improved braking, shading, protective and noisemaking features.
As an impulsive philosopher, I just get these crazy ideas and if nobody tries to stop me, they manifest. My first tricycle, a pedal-powered rickshaw with rioting sounds and lights--built in 2000 in 7 days--has now become somebody's lawn ornament. Hopefully this one lasts longer. So far so good!
