I&#8217;ve seen a few of these vehicles online, but they were all pedal powered. This one was powered by a Honda motor, and boasted speeds of up to 30 mph.<\/p>\n<p>Greg and Troy were nice enough to take me along on their adventure the next day. While we didn&#8217;t get to go as high up into the mountains as we&#8217;d hoped (no train tunnels &#8212; dang!), it still made for an excellent adventure, and I can&#8217;t thank them enough for helping me knock one more item off my bucket list.
