World Human-Powered Speed Challenge
The World Human-Powered Speed Challenge is an annual event that showcases the fastest human-powered vehicles. Participants from around the globe gather to compete on a designated track, typically in a flat, straight area, to achieve the highest speed using only human effort. The event promotes innovation in design and engineering, encouraging teams to create efficient and aerodynamic vehicles.
Competitors often use recumbent bicycles or streamlined pods, which are designed to minimize air resistance. The challenge not only highlights the capabilities of human power but also raises awareness about sustainable transportation methods. It serves as a platform for enthusiasts and engineers to share ideas and advancements in the field of human-powered transport.
