by Richard Malachowski
The Crossbow concept is a recumbent trike powered by two front electric motors, front shock absorbers and an Omni wheel as a rear wheel. The Omni allows the driver to steer in close angle and drift along the curves for an extreme fun driving experience.

They used to put the electrical charge directly to one leg at a time. Worked well no matter how tired you got.
