If you would like to try out a new, exclusive way of traveling or sightseeing, Ecopolski is the perfect choice for you. This new invention in Hungary is fully based on the idea of the students of MOME, who wanted to create something unprecedented. The project’s point of origin was to help establishing a more environmentally friendly city with a car that doesn’t pollute the air and functions by human resources.

Back to the future

To achieve this goal, the creators used old Polskis (usually from the junkyard), cut them in half, and put the wheels and handlebar on it. This way they created a half-car, half-bicycle hybrid. These cars are already popular in other countries and finally available in our capital as well. There are only three Ecopolskis in Budapest currently, but their popularity is so high that it is not impossible that the creators put new vehicles in operation.In the driver’s seat

As it turned out, it is not easy at all to make an Ecopolski to move, because its weight is approximately 100 kilograms. Moreover, if someone decides to work as a driver of a Polski, he has to consider the fact that his nights will be spent by driving, because tourists often choose this part of the day to discover the city by a half-cut car, so a driver can run 50-70 kilometers per night.
The benefit of this job is that you can earn more than taxi drivers; a trip costs approximately 3000 HUF for half an hour. Although it is not the cheapest way of traveling, it is totally worth a try if you would like to spend a romantic night with your love, or have fun with your friends, while you can you can discover the beautiful nightlife of Budapest!
