StreetFlyer: hang-gliding on three-wheels
The user gains momentum by pushing the StreetFlyer along and then lifts up the legs to fly like a bird
Article Summary
If the notion of flying through the air appeals then hang-gliding might be your first thought. But if your fear of heights keeps you closer to the ground then perhaps Dr Carsten Mehring's StreetFlyer may be of interest. The human-powered three-wheeler suspends its user from an arched frame so that when enough momentum is generated, the legs can be lifted off the ground and you're away – at a cruising altitude of just a few feet.
