There is a new eco vehicle design in town and it’s as sleek as its name suggests. Introducing, the Lynx, a car powered by solar energy and the power of your own two feet if you’re after more speed. Up to 70 km/h can be achieved with the hybrid.

It is clearly designed to be a city vehicle. Small, light, compact and stylish. The design incorporates the simplicity of a bicycle with the convenience of a car which is bound to be a winning combination.

I have one complaint. The braking action is triggered by reverse peddling which seems pretty dangerous if you have to brake suddenly at 70 km/h. Apart from that it’s a practical, aesthetically-pleasing, eco-friendly design.

This vehicle could really appeal to cyclists who hate wet weather and are tired of being knocked off their bikes by motorists. And of course there’s the eco-brigade who I’m sure would pre-order like crazy if they ever went into production.

Anyone out there bold enough to bring this to market?
