Yes, it lives. It is the *Human Electric* Hybrid Drive.
Yes. For Americans, this causes less pollution per mile than any
other mode of transportation, including walking. US food takes a
terrific amount of fossil fuel to produce, so human exercise
(metabolism) actually causes a lot of CO2 emission.
I ride a LaFree electric bicycle. They no longer make that model, but
here is an improved one from the same company. Mine weighs 60 pounds
and has a 20 mile range. This one weighs 48 pounds and has a 30 mile
range. See:
