Detroit High Schoolers design pedal-solar hybrid vehicle

Students at a suburban Detroit high school have designed a four-wheel hybrid vehicle. Unlike conventional hybrids, it supplements its electric motor with pedal power, not a gasoline engine.

Daimler Chrysler AG and the Detroit Science Center have sponsored a competition called 2006 Closing the Technology Gap in Education Awards, in which 170 entries were made, the pedal-solar powered Qaudracycle being one of them. This is what America needs, hybrid awareness at the grass root level. Best of Luck to all the entrants.
