The inventive sort

[Joel Bolden]

One guy in our Township appears to have come up with his own personal transport vehicle. It must have a battery of some sort since I've followed him up some small, steep hills and he doesn't slow down. It's all narrow country roads out here, and he just cruises along at 35mph having a good time. Some folks tend to get impatient with the guy.......

I could care less.

 

[Space Face]

Ha, ha, that made me smile. Don't fancy going far on a main road in that.

I like his spirit but I wonder what the police think of him on the road in that, not that I care, it's on him. It looks like a soap box derby cart ... but electric.

Now I want to build one!

 

[Joel Bolden]

We rarely see the police out here unless there's been a call, but I believe he has some sort of registration plate of some sort on the back; which is all that's required in Pennsylvania.

 

[Derrel]

Is the raised hand in the air the old racing signal that it's okay to pass?

I think it is a cute little, well I hesitate to call it a car.... Cute little cart. I'm kind of surprised that it has a registration plate. Good thing he wears a helmet.

 

[Dean_Gretsch]

That's definitely a conversation starter. The impatient people here are a menace to the Amish folk.

Amish folk

And the Amish folk are an impediment to us impatient folk. A very stop and go cycle we got going on here.

How can you not love it?!

It's the old hand signal for "making a right turn", which he was. Bicyclists, around here anyway, still use those signals.

[Derrel]

I'm pretty sure the right hand turn signal is your left arm bent at the elbow with your hand raised and your arm making a sort of capital letter L.

 

[Derrel]

I just did a Google search and found that there are quite a few motorcycles signals that I was unaware of...

 

[Winona]

That’s neat! But, I would be afraid to be in it on the road.

 

[mjcmt]

I wonder if it's peddle powered.

 

[Joel Bolden]

I wonder if it's peddle powered.

If it is, he has really strong legs since I've followed him up short(50 yards upslope at around 15 degrees), steep hills and he doesn't slow down at all; or for that matter speed up on the downslope.
