I like the idea of it being pedal powered. I can imagine 3 friends and I going on a sight-seeing trip along the coast line, nice and slow (could hit 25 mph I bet), just pedaling along a few hundred feet up in the air. View and exercise, no danger of cars hitting you! Eh, just use hydrogen, I’m not too concerned about it blowing up. I like the idea of it being pedal powered.
