Driver not included.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4642" title=" photo" src="http://cdn.thenextweb.com/files/2011/01/Kim-Kyung-Hoon.jpeg" alt=" Meguru: Eco friendly rickshaw from Japan" width="300" /></p>
<p>The &#8220;Meguru&#8221; is a three-wheeled, three-seater compact vehicle that runs on a single lithium-ion battery. It has a maximum speed and range of 40 kilometers (25 miles) per hour.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s an all-natural vehicle that uses pinwheels instead of air-conditioners and blankets instead of heaters. They also claim that the body is coated in red lacquer, the floor is filled with recycled bamboo, and the retractable &#8220;window&#8221; is made using Japanese &#8220;washi&#8221; paper.</p>
<p>Even disposing of the car is easy. Being an all-natural vehicle, you can literally just bury it to the ground.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s no concept car and if you live in Japan, you could actually available for sale at around 1,000,000 Yen. No car registration necessary.</p>
