Toyota didn?t have much in the way of ?big news? for the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, but what they had on display totally changed the way this jaded gear-head looks at cars in (what might seem to a gear-head to be) a seriously profound way ? beginning with the ?Prius x Parlee? (PxP) hybrid-electric bicycle shown here.
The Prius x Parlee has been making the auto-show rounds for over a year now, but this was the first time I?d had a chance to get up close to one and check out the myriad aero tweaks and hyper-efficient gear sets, wheels, and low-rolling-resistance tires that add up to a road bike that takes a concept that, like Prius, already exists (the bicycle, rather than the car) and improves efficiency at each possible step.
I?ve got a few more high-res photos of Parlee?s Toyota Prius bicycle at the bottom of this post, but you can check out Toyota?s Prius x Parlee promo video immediately below.
Enjoy!
