Green Express
Green Express, the World's First Human-Powered Train!
In mid December 2007, with the help of two representatives of Ontario's Human Powered Transportation Association, we conceived the idea of developing and fabricating a cycle driven 12-15 passenger vehicle. Members of the Association began work on the project in early January in hopes that we would have a prototype completed by May so that trials could begin shortly thereafter.
