http://www.hippygourmet.com In this segment from the Hippy Gourmet TV show, we visit with Bob Schneeveis, the inventor of the Solar Powered Walking Chariot! Bob is a brilliant and eccentric character who studies nature and then turns it into sustainable, solar-electric vehicles and gadgets... Bob also donates his time to students studying robotics, and certainly gets our award for being the truest of nutty professors! Check out how clean powered engine drives these legs and rollerblades in such a human-like fashion...amazing! This thing actually has a lot of kick to it and is capable of covering all kinds of terrain it seems. Best of all, this chariot demonstrates that earth-happy innovations and creativity are all around us.

Where is the info on this 120 mile Sparrow? As far as I know, the ones currently being sold by Myers Motors are still using the same type of Lead batteries and getting about the same range as the Corbin originals. (around 30 miles per charge) (Myers has made many other improvements to the Sparrow though)

Why does he go on and on about no wheels in nature and then put wheels on his "walking" chariot?

The irony here is a very intelligent man wasting his time with bs like this when he could actually be changing the world. As for the 'oil man' - americans, you voted him in, why the blank are you whining about it, you elected that cretin Slick before that and you still didn't learn.

That is a Corbin Sparrow, a single person electric car that Bob has modified a bit. The Sparrow is the perfect vehicle for an individual with a commute of 30 miles or less. Bob plugs it into his solar panels for recharging.
