Pedal Power

PEDAL POWER

Los Angeles resident and CW reader Kevin Muhilly took his hometown's air-pollution problems into his own hands, fabbing this zero-emissions chopper. The basis for the one-off hybrid is a 26-inch mountain bike—with 21 speeds, of course. Centerpiece is the faux V-Twin engine, which is nothing more than a 4mm-thick, paper-and-foam sandwich attached at five points to the bike's aluminum frame. "Dry" weight is a scant 26 pounds. Top speed? As fast as you can pedal!
