In a time when the rich countries across the globe are adding Ford, Lamborghini, Porsche, Chevrolet and many most recent vehicles to their police squads, I am really surprised about British police unveiling this pedal powered five gear vehicle what appeared to be their latest weapon in the fight against crime.



Surprised? You might be! It seems police officers want to get back to those old days when they use to cruise past the criminal as this six feet long vehicle, even when pedaled furiously, couldn’t catch anyone other than those with a zimmer frame.


Well, jeering aside and before you start jumping to any conclusion, let me tell you that this vehicle is the part of a community project organized by local bobby Keith Waller and won’t be used for patrolling. The vehicle is intended for the British Pedal Car Grand Prix on July 11 and will be piloted by PC Keith Waller.


This pedal powered replica car comes out after 40 hours rigorous work at a cost over £1,000. With its top speed at 20mph, the vehicle is equipped with functioning three-tone siren, blue flashing light and also features British police logo, phone number and fluorescent batten-burg panels.


Apart from its rare chances to break the speed limits, this pedal powered car would make an eco-friendly alternative to other vehicles – which is the need of the hour.
