Car2go's popular car sharing platform is coming to North America, specifically San Diego (before the end of 2011). The cool part is that this fleet of cars will be the all-electric Smart Fortwo 30kW plug-ins. The cars will run about 84 miles per charge and can be recharged at any…
I like the looks of the Husqvarna Nuda even though it copies the styling of the Ducati Hypermotard and the angles of the Cadillac CTS. If you ride bikes, specifically off-road bikes, you are familiar with BMW's little sister Husqvarna. They make some great dirt bikes, and are getting back…
A bike is a bike, right? Not entirely, and more bicycle designers are flexing their design muscles lately. The Vanhulsteijn Cyclone Bicycle ($2,300) is a very unique bike that seems to defy gravity. The bike comes with Shimano gears, a handcrafted stainless frame, Rigida rims, Vittoria Runion tires, and a…

The Honda EV-N Micro Car is an electric car, similar to the Nissan Leaf, but with a super clean throwback styling. The Honda EV-N reminds me a bit of the old Mini Cooper with the two ton color scheme, however the roof isn't painted black, that is a solar panel…
I want, I want so bad it hurts a bit. The Hoverbike ($TBA) is a motorcycle style ultralight aircraft that’s powered by a flat twin 4-stroke. You basically sit on, and ride, the Hoverbike like a motorcycle. On the handlebars are your typical speed and direction controls. The Hoverbike is…
The good old fashioned vehicle tire hasn't changed much for many years. We have been rolling along on cushions of air wrapped in rubber for over 100 years. Sure we have added lower profile tires, different compounds, etc, but the form/function is the same. It looks like a new tire…
If the standard Porsche Panamera is to ho-hum for you, check out the Porsche Panamera Stingray GTR. This pumped up Panamera is made by a Russian company, TopCar, and only 25 will be made. The car almost looks like a two door now but still has rear doors which now…
