A single Shweeb car
Shweeb is a proposed personal rapid transit network in New Zealand, based on human-powered monorail cars. The project prototype was originally designed and implemented in Rotorua, New Zealand, as a leisure attraction. The name is a reference to the German "schweben" meaning "to hang/hover/levitate",[1] and indirectly to the suspended monorail Schwebebahn Wuppertal.
The proposed Shweeb transit network relies on recumbent bicycle technology to power pods suspended from monorails. According to Shweeb Monorail Technology, the intent of their proposal is to "create a solution which provided the user with the same flexibility and comfort offered by the car but without the consequential costs - both direct financial and indirect health and environmental costs."[2] The proposal envisions networks of monorail track providing point to point and commuter transit for urban areas.
