Argentinian designer Pablo Lopez's "Pardo" concept is designed to place the rider in a posture resembling that of a cheetah. This makes the cycle really unique and nothing like anything we've seen before. Power is delivered to the single rear wheel via pedals, but not of the rotating variety; the rider is meant to hunch and straighten his body, pressing down on both pedals during extension, and a mechanism transfers that motion into rotating force, transferred to the wheel via chain. Sounds like a lot of thought went into designing this baby. The designer didn't have to stress over how practical this vehicle is as it was meant to be as creative and as fun as possible. There is a prototype of it, but we doubt it will ever go into production.
