Hemp or other plant based plastics are better then carbon fiber, when you need more just grow it. Henry Ford's car was 1000 lbs. lighter than a steel equivalent car.

Plus for all the people that drive a prius because its better for the environment a prius would look like an environmental disaster compared to a light weight biodegradable plant based diesel car that runs on hemp or other plant based biofuels.

Ryland I like TWIKES and velomobiles most of their problem is price its cheaper just to buy a used car and by doing so most people wont feel so limited.

I agree people need get over the idea of owning a one size fits all vehicle. My dad is an example of this, drives a full size diesel pickup truck but complains about the cost of driving it.
