Pedal/Electric Hybrid, great youtube find, I want one.

So, I was watching videos of the terra trike zoomer on youtube and I found this video in the "related videos" box. Watch it and see what you think. Personally, I really like his design with the alternator to charge the battereies / control the speed. I wonder if he markets these or if he has any plans online on how to build your own.

This is similar in concept to a 2-wheeled recumbent I saw at the EV Expo in Ottawa last year.

See pics 4,5 & 6 on this page: http://tricolour.net/photos/2007/05/26/evco.html

It's a serial hybrid electric bike - no drive connection between the crank & drive wheel.
