About the IHPVA

The International Human Powered Vehicle Association is an association of national associations and organizations, dedicated to promoting improvement, innovation and creativity in the use of human power, especially in the design and development of human-powered vehicles.

The HPVA was founded as the IHPVA in 1978 and now the association for USA, Canada & Mexico, and still for anyone, worldwide, who does not have a national association.

For information on all the national chapters, refer to this IHPVA chapters list. For information on joining the HPVA, visit the HPVA web site
