Guepardo : Human Powered Vehicle That Imitates The Movement of The Ferocious Animal

The name Prado came from the Spanish word guepardo, which means cheetah, is a human powered concept vehicle that imitates the movement of the ferocious animal. The lower part of the vehicle contains two pedals that users push down with their feet to move the vehicle forward. The idea of the vehicle came from the nature and the eagerness of the designers to imitate it among human beings. Therefore, a thorough research has been conducted to pinpoint its movement during hunt and the vehicle started to form accordingly. Though, a prototype of the design was created and exhibited already, the designer prefers to consider it as an extreme sport vehicle rather using it on the street.
