All the footage in the video seemed to show a pretty flat track with no hills, but pretty impressive just the same.

I recall Neil talking about a pedal vehicle at a DBUG meeting I attended (virtually) a while ago (probably 2 or 3 years ago?). I think (not certain) that he had ordered one but not taken delivery at that stage. Wondering if Neil has provided any update since that time ?

The Lightyear One is an impressive vehicle. I have been following their progress, as well as I can.
