The Pardo concept from designer Pablo Lopez is a human powered vehicle designed to imitate the running posture of the cheetah. The trike has two pedals located at its lower part, and the driver takes a lying posture on the trike to be able to push the pedals with maximum force while maintaining a comparatively more aerodynamic stance.

The cheetah-like shape of the trike gains another similarity considering that it is designed for racing use. Well, there can hardly be a better inspiration than the fastest land animal. By the looks of it though, the trike looks rather uncomfortable for fast and furious pedaling. The Pardo can be folded away when not in use, or for storage.
