WANTED:   PPV posted by: stephanie on 3/8/2005 at 11:41:04 PM
I am looking for a PPV(People Powered Vehicle). It has one wheel in front, two wheels in back, has two side by side seats, and a compartment behind the seats to put stuff or kids to ride. Both people in the seats can peddle or just one can peddle. It has a fiberglass shell. I think these were made in the 70's. People had them in my hometown when I was,but I haven't seen them since and no one knows what I'm talking about when I ask people if they know what they are, except for my siblings. Anyway, I want one of these, so if anyone knows of any, please contact me. Thanks!! junkindiva@yahoo.com

See this page:

From what it says, only 8 were made.

Take care,

Kurt

Also please note the difference, source of many a lame joke, between peddle and pedal.

Hello Stephanie:
I have 3 of the PPV's in my collection. The original article in the 1970'2 Popular Mechanics/Popular Science magazine article pictured the White over Blue combination.
I have 2 of these, and a very rare White Over Yellow as well. One of the White/BLue models I have is a project, a bit rough but definitely usable(tubes, tires and TLC). I haven't really thought about selling it, but would entertain the possibility. Let's talk. It would be a bear to ship from Minnesota.
