Very nice. A human powered bike car thing, HPV rather than BEC. Spec sounds good, seven speed gear box etc, but with only one human power plant I
would hesitate to load it up to 180kgs if my route involved any hills!!!
Having worked as a cycle courier I don't think you'd find many people changing over, too wide to nip through traffic, but you might get
some getting out of their vans for one of these.

Thats the taxi that seriously hurt some tourist up here in Edinburgh.....her scarf got caught in the back wheel and she stopped the whole thing with
her neck.........ouch....ouch! o
On the other note these are good for pedestrianised city centers. :

there was a famous dancer that got her scarf caught in a car wheel. It did for her.
quote
A trailblazer of 20th-century dance, ISADORA DUNCAN also had a reputation for eccentric flair in her wardrobe. In the autumn of 1927 she climbed into
her sporty new Bugatti automobile while wearing a long flowing scarf. As the driver put the car in motion, Duncan's scarf got tangled in the
car's rear wheel and jerked tight, snapping her neck and killing her. According to Clifton Fadiman's The Little, Brown Book of Anecdotes,
just before the accident Duncan "waved gaily to her friends, crying 'Adieu, mes amis! Je vais a la gloire!'" ('Goodbye,
my friends! I go to glory!)
