Transformer Bike – From Lowrider To Tall Bike
A crafty Russian inventory type made a bicycle that can transform from a San Jose, California lowrider style bike (know what I mean Shawna?) to a super tall circus style bike. The best part is he doesn't even have to stop to do the transforming. I actually think this thing would sell if ever came […]
Sylvansport Go Camper Trailer
Finally a trailer I can tow behind my Toyota Prius exotic sports car when I feel like an impromptu camp trip. The aluminum SylvanSport Go ($8,000) weighs just 840-lbs and transforms shape depending on what you are toting. You can fill it with surfboards, kayaks, motorcycles, ATV's, etc, So in addition to a great […]
Stormtrooper Motorcycle Suit
The Stormtrooper Motorcycle Suit is pretty darn cool, but may be a tad hard to pull of in reality,. unless it is Halloween. With that said, the Stormtrooper Motorcycle Suit ($1,165) is a pretty accurate replica of the STAR WARS imperial armor. The suit is made of form-molded leather and is available in Shadow Trooper […]
Confederate X132 Hellcat Motorcycle
The Confederate X132 Hellcat Motorcycle (named after the F6F Hellcat fighter plane) is one heck of a street fighter. The street fighter design almost looks like someone cobbled this beast together in their garage, but don't be fooled it has some expensive/high-tech bits on it. You get a billet aluminum case, carbon fiber wheels, LED […]
Flyboard Zapata
Like the LevJet, but cooler. The Flyboard Zapata makes you look a bit like a super hero with the water jets coming out at your hands and feet. Comparing the two JetPack Systems is like Rocketeer VS Iron Man. How do I do this full time as a job?
Flight Assembled Architecture
An installation at the FRAC Centre in Orleans, France is using autonomous quadrocopter robots to build a 20-foot tall tower with 1,500 blocks. Pretty amazing. The robotic four-blade helicopters place each building block in an exact location according to an existing blueprint. "The show is the work of ETH Zurich roboticist Raffaello D’Andrea and architects […]
Aptera Calls It Quits
The writing was on the wall when, a few months ago, Aptera started refunding customer deposits, but it is still quite sad. I was actually on the waiting list for an Aptera 2e, and waited a loong time for what turns out to be nothing as Aptera has just announced they are closing their doors. […]
4moms Origami Stroller
What happened? Mini vans are suddenly cool, packed full of technology, TV's, automatic doors, etc, now this. The Origami Stroller Wow, who knew having kids could be so much fun? You have to watch the 4moms Origami Stroller in action to understand how amazing it is. The Origami Stroller automatically transforms (in either direction) with […]
Toyota Wants To Bring Sexy Back With Their New GT 86
The all new Toyota GT 86 (and 2013 Scion FR-S) should hit the Tokyo Motor Show later this week. The GT 86 is Toyotas attempt at bringing back the "fun to drive" rear-wheel drive from the 80's and 90's. You may notice some design cues from the old AE86 Toyota Corolla or the 2000GT. The […]
