This is the HumanCar. It's a hybrid car, but not that kind of hybrid. I'm still a little unclear exactly how it works, but it's powered through a combination of a battery and pumping this bar in the car with a sort of rowing motion. This video sort of explains it:
Another vehicle I'm excited about trying is the Quickfin:

And though I haven't heard back from these people yet, I really hope I can include a ride on one of these:

It's an Aqua-Cycle! Not to be confused with the Aqua Cycle, (which doesn't have a hyphen but also looks cool). It's a tricycle with floating wheels that you can somehow ride on the water. I have a hard time believing this actually works, but it seems to be working in this video:
Although they seem to be staying in very shallow parts, and it doesn't seem like a particularly speedy vehicle. I guess I'll have to find out for myself.
And still no word from Ellen Degeneres or her "people." Maybe Ellen wants to ride an Aqua-Cycle? Or maybe one of my modes of transport could be "red wagon pulled by Ellen Degeneres?"
