    If you live in a country that has weather that is tolerable to be staying out, then these Tumtumcars are the solution for your concerns of the environment and fuel charges. These are a series of four-wheeled personal transportation vehicles by JMC Motoronics which offers three varieties – pedal, electric and hybrid versions. They come as a fully human-powered model to a gas-powered machine with a small 33cc engine sending power to the rear wheels via a CVT transmission. There are also the ones that are powered by electrons, Tumtumcar Series E which comes equipped with the buyers choice of a single 350 Watt motor, dual 350 Watt motors, dual 700 Watt motors or dual 1000 Watt motors. They will also launch a hybrid Phoenix model that will feature both a 6.5-horsepower gasoline engine and any of the available electric motor options.


    Tum Tums in India are the terms given to a six-seater – these are vehicles that run on three wheels, yet can seat 6 (even 8, if are a size 1). But unlike the Tumtumcars, their carbon footprint is not a pretty and acceptable digit. The vehicles are powered by a 7Ah battery pack putting out 36 volts. Prices range from $2,750 to $3,650.
