No, in spite of its wheels, it is not pedal powered.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and its year of appearance.

It is a Spanish microcar named ACEDO, presented in year 1941 that not reach producction series.

A brief history (sorry by google traduction)

The micro car, made entirely with simple materials domestically produced very limited benefits and traction combined combustion engine and pedals was presented by Manuel L. Ortega (Director General) and the engineer Antonio Jurado (ADG) on behalf of the company "Autos Acedo" device manufacturer. Apparently, the developer of the project was Ramon Acedo, already in the 20's had a major travel agency in Madrid and organized coach tours discovered.

The intention of its builders optimistic was produced in series and create different types or versions tailored to the needs of their owners. Athletes, officials, doctors and even microtaxi for two.

There were two different sketches of the prototype body of evidence, since the latter was certainly anachronistic. There was talk of mixed aluminum body and canvas, weighing close to 50 kilos, lower and wider wheels than those presented in this first model were type bicycle and tricycle sports versions with bodywork inspired by the fuselage of an aircraft, whose Rudder would be combined with the wheels.

The mixture of a poor performance, questionable construction quality and the problems common in Spain at that time to move forward with such projects, meant that despite all these good intentions, Acedo not reached series production or series .
