Finally a work horse donky of a bike that is well built and will be with you till the end.  The Donky Bike did a bunch of things right, first of all they moved the load carrying point off of the handlebars and put it on the frame.  Sounds obvious,…

Confederate X132 Hellcat Combat Motorcycle

Remember the Confederate X132 Hellcat from last year?  Forget about it.  The latest beast costs quite a bit more ($72,000) and goes quite a bit faster (200 MPH).  The Confederate X132 Hellcat Combat Motorcycle just set the world record for the fastest big block V-Twin at the Bonneville Salt Flats…

When I first read that the first airless bike tire had just been created I had to laugh a bit.  As a kid I had a bike with two solid (hard) rubber tires.  It rode like crap, but guess what it had airless tires.  Now that I have cleared up…

Dahon Speed Uno Folding Bike Review

After spending some time on the Dahon Speed Uno Folding Bike, I sorta fell in love.  This single speed folding bike, with coaster brake, is simply a joy to ride.  Something about the simplicity, no gears (?), makes riding the Speed Uno such a blast.  I spent more time enjoying…

HotTug

Ever felt the need to take your hot tub and place it in the lake?  Why not, I guess. The HotTug is a hot tub that doubles as a boat. The HotTug (sounds a bit dirty doesn’t it?) sports a stainless steel stove that heats the water and is powered…

Smart Car With Built-In Projector

Another mash up that I am not sure makes a bunch of sense.  This time it is a projector and a Smart Car (Forstars).  While this idea is still just in concept phase, the idea is that you can create your own drive-in theater experience in front of any flat…
