An Airbag You Can Wear
Dainese will be manufacturing (in 2010) riding suits which are basically sporting a built in airbag. You have to watch the video to truly “get it”. Take a look.
Boston Dynamics Big Dog
This is one freaky cool robot dog. I have not seen a robot move as well as this one does. The motors on the unit make it sound like a thousand bumble bee’s attacking, but the robot walks like a dog (seems more like a deer to me however). Amazing how well it is able […]
Water Purification Bicycle – The Aquaduct
I like this product… solves a couple of problems in one tidy device. In many third world countries they have to travel quite a ways to get dirty water, then tote it back to their hut house to boil the water before using it. Seems like it might easier to just use a gravity filter […]
BitchCruiser Bicycle?
Wow? This one found me at a loss for words. Simply put… a crazy German fellow built a bicycle with a naked mannequ42in as the main frame. Lucky you… it is available for sale on eBay for an opening bid of $2,303.81.
Hayabusa G0-KART!
For those of you who don’t know… a Hayabusa is a seriously overpowered Suzuki street bike. The current Suzuki has a 1340CC, 4-stroke, four cylinder, DOHC, 16-valve TSCC motor that puts out 194 horsepower (at the crankshaft)! Apparently some guys some mechanical ingenuity and a pricey busa motor made a wicked racing go kart. Watch […]
ATV Tool Box?
What happens when you mix too much time with too much Pabst Blue Ribbon? You get a 110CC gas powered ATV toolbox.
Hand Cuff Bicycle Lock
Not a bad looking, and fully functional, bike lock that may have additional uses. 🙂 The last bike locks I have seen/purchased were almost as big, and heavy, as my bike. Nice to see a smaller solution with some style. They are made from hardened laminated steel and have a virtually drill-proof locking system. Not […]
Invade Small Nations In A TankChair!
This has got to be one of the most ultimate gadgets out there! Aside from its rugged techno-military-futuristic look, it’s an amazingly functional off-road wheelchair that can go practically anywhere. TankChair conquers streams, mud, snow, sand, and gravel, allowing you to get back to nature. Totally customizable (although I haven’t asked about hard point mounted […]
Yet Another 4-Wheel Motorcycle
Despite what readers/riders might think, 4-wheel motorcycles are fairly dangerous to ride. At first glance these 4-wheelers sound like a good idea… however the high center of gravity puts you in a “not so safe” riding position. For some reason, however, this style of vehicle seems to be getting popular, despite the fact that […]
Italdesign Giugiaro Quaranta Fast And Froogle
Italdesign Giugiaro released full details of their concept car the Quaranta, just days before it will be unveiled at the Geneva motor show. The amazing part about the car, aside from the supercar looks, is the fact that it uses a mid-mounted hybrid powertrain from Toyota. Combining the 3.3L V6 and Toyota hybrid technology makes […]
