That's me, in Alvaro Britos' home-made covered electric tricycle...
This is the sort of thing you randomly run across whilst cycling through Commercial Drive on a fine Sunday. Alvaro and his buddy were out road-testing his invention and could I just ride by? No.
This tricycle-pod skims along silently at 50 km/hr (my average scooter-speed) and features a super lightweight removable cover. I've seen similar pedal-pods, but always with fixed covers that look like fibre-glass. So keep an eye out on Dragon's Den (that sponsor-a-new-business show). Maybe Alvaro will be on it, after he adds some racing stripes. His email is alvaro3641@gmail.com. Imagine what our streets will look like in another ten years...
