A retired Chinese traffic officer has created his own mini electric car...which has no steering wheel. According to Li he loves watching the TV show 'I Love Invention' and it inspired him to make a car suitable for disabled people and pensioners. Without a formal mechanical education Li acquired the knowledge needed to build the car from books and by consulting moto mechanics. Rather than have a steering wheel, everything - moving forward, reversing or turning - is controlled using the foot pedals. Li comments: 'It's easy to learn and operate'. According to Li the electric car is built to national safety regulations, can run for 60km on one charge and costs around 3,000 to 5,000 Yuan to make.
