Under the tracks hang high performance pedal powered vehicles. Between one and five vehicles can be loaded onto each track enabling teams to race each other or race against the clock.
Riders sit back in the recumbent position and due to the minimal resistance riders reach speeds of up to 45km per hour and on the curves getting up to a 60degree angle, making it a dynamic and thrilling ride experience.
Teams racing will be available in early 2008, where up to 5 Shweeb pods can be linked together to form a Shweeb train. Up to ten people at any one time will be able to compete against each other.
