Human-Powered Vehicle - (HPV)
or Human-powered transport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Human-powered transport is transport of person(s) and/or goods powered by human muscle.

Like animal-powered transport, human-powered transport has been in existence since time immemorial in the form of walking, running and swimming. However modern technology has led to machines to enhance human-power. Although motorization has reduced the effort in transport, many human-powered machines remain popular for leisure or exercise and for short distance travel. Human-powered transport is often the only (reliable) power source available in underdeveloped or inaccessible regions, and may be considered an ideal form of sustainable transportation.
