This post is almost half a Retromodo , in that compressed air motorcar have been peddled by companies like MDI for the last 20 long time . But this tight air - powered seedcase , the AirPod , is all newfangled . The three - seater is power by MDI ’s proprietary compressed air organization , which uses electricity to push the aviation to power the locomotive engine ’s pistons . The cable car might look in U.S. cities by 2010 , and possibly India and Europe a spot earlier . The scope , as gestate , is quite limited . The AirPod gets up to about 40 miles per hour , and goes approximately 130 miles between charge . Once the tank is depleted , refilling it is described as “ extremely nimble ” if you happen to have a specialised compressed air filling place handy . Otherwise , you ’ll have to fill up using a traditional rest home atmosphere compressor ( recall : fill up your cycle tires ) . [ EcoGeek ]
