South Korean car manufacturer Kia has unveiled its Seed Car concept at the recent CES in Las Vegas. The cycle/rickshaw combination uses pedal power to charge a battery pack in the floor, which powers four electric motors at the back wheels, giving the Seed a top speed of around 25 mph. Kia said the single-seater concept can be used for urban transportation, or in cargo-hauler mode as a last-mile logistics solution, ahead of the introduction of autonomously-driven pods.
