Eco Factor: Teched-out micro-trimaran features pedal, sail and electric propulsion.
Steven Roberts, the technomad creator of the Microship, a custom pedal/wind/solar-powered micro-trimaran now wishes to pass on his legacy to someone who is as adventurous, mediagenic and geeky as he is. His teched-out micro-trimaran is up for sale, anxiously waiting for its new crazy owner.
The Microship is a stunning boat that features pedal, sail and electric propulsion, hydraulically-retractable wheels that make amphibious landings possible. It also sports a (tiny) sleep-aboard cabin, an 8-channel peak-power-tracker with thruster control, LED navigation lights, stock marine VHF radio, and a 480-watt solar power system. This cute little boat ideal for self-propelled solo adventuring could be yours for a whopping $73,000.
