The future is coming and in the future, the cars powered by fossil fuels will be forgotten therefore designers will have to come up with new ideas for new types of fuel. While hybrid and solar-powered cars seem to have an advantage, the GYM concept car comes with a new and revolutionary idea: a car which harnesses the energy from your workout.
You might be wondering if you can generate enough energy to power your car, but the thing is that the GYM concept will feature an electrical engine and batteries which will be charged thanks to you. You will be able to do that via a plug-in socket which will be connected to your exercise equipment.
The GYM concept will be an one-seated car and will be made of lightweight materials like molded magnesium alloy and carbon-fiber. The design resembles a fighter aircraft from World War 2 and maybe with all this exercises you are getting ready for war. Just kidding here. Unlike many other concepts, I hope that the GYM car will become a reality in the future.

Say… The design concept looks pretty neat, too.

I’ll never understand designers. Why not just ride a bike??

“powered by YOU” doesn’t really say much…can’t you write a more informative article?

Really cool, I also hope it becomes a reality
Stumbled!

I like this revolutionary concept. Wish to hear in detail how this would function.

Cool concept! I’d like one that would put a display on my exercise bike that would tell me how much time I have left to exercise for how many miles I want to drive. And another option I’d like is for the battery to charge when I am coasting down hills. Even better would be pedals that would pop up when you’re running out of “juice” like the pedal cars we used to play with when we were kids.
