Carbon Chassis Velocipede

With Christmas nearing, it's just about time to start dreaming of toys no one you know would ever consider buying for you. First on my list is this Carbon Chassis Velocipede, a velomobile (essentially a human-powered bicycle-car) built for speed. The car features carbon fiber monocoque chassis, which can also be found in the same material found in Formula 1 cars, an aerodynamic shape, and it weighs a mere 60 lbs. Two front 20" wheels, controlled from the interior, allow for sharp turns and are complemented by front shock absorbers. I don't recommend getting out of the bike lane in this thing, bu the go-kart feel of this thing is pretty appealing.
