“The efficiency of this vehicle seems impossibly high: it’s a powerful example of the massive change we can achieve with existing technology in the near future,” said Aerovelo co-founder Cameron Robertson. “Eta’s performance is a testament to the passion and engineering the team devoted to this endeavor, and showcases what can be achieved when we seek to do more with less.”
Aerovelo’s other co-founder, Todd Reichert, says the Eta rides very smoothly.
“It’s an unbelievable feeling to be riding in something that efficient,” says Reichert. “It cuts through the air with such little resistance, and before you know it, you’re cruising at highway speeds on nothing more than your own power. When you realize that this is the same amount of power it takes to light up a few light bulbs, it’s truly mind-blowing.”
