The Motorized Monocycle. Drawing upon a robust history of development that began with an original design conceived in Marseilles, France in 1869, this is the motorized monocycle made in the Netherlands that propels a single rider up to 25 MPH. Powered by a 31cc, four-stroke 1 1/2-hp engine, the wheel operates by using a centrifugal clutch on its inner steel frame to engage the larger 67" diam. outer flywheel that actually makes contact with the ground with a rubber tire. The ingenious device is steered by leaning to one side or the other, and it can safely negotiate any dense surface such as pavement or grass. A fiberglass frame encloses the engine, drive train, and fuel tank, and provides a cushioned seat and convenient footrests for riders up to 6' 3" high when i n a sitting position. The hand-holds have a finger throttle that provides progressive acceleration and a brake that provides confident stops for riders up to 275 lbs. (minimum weight of 110 lbs. suggested for proper...

The "car" is billed as the world's first mass produced energy autonomous vehicle. It's designed for daily driving in urban areas and is powered by electricity via 3 sources; plug-in, solar and wait for it... wind. The roof is equipped with advance photovoltaic cells to quickly harness the power of the sun keeping you juiced and ready to go. To support that system is a wind turbine that extends up and out capturing the power of wind should there be a gust and both are augmented with an advance plug-in system for those overnight recharges. The vehicle goes on sale in Europe June 2007 for about $31,000 USD. There are no plans for the Eclectic in the US, but one can only hope something similar is a-brewing but better looking please. At least add some doors! See less

Posted by Yanko Design in Automotive February 16, 2007 10:53 pm, 8413 Views Introducing the VentureOne, a revolutionary 3-wheel, tilting, plug-in Hybrid vehicle. This unique 2-passenger flex-fuel Hybrid vehicle will achieve 100 miles per gallon, accelerate from 0-60 in 6 seconds with a top speed of over 100 mph, yet at a retail price of under $20,000. And if that weren’t enough, imagine combining the performance feel of a sports car with the agility of a motorcycle. This is an exhilarating driving experience that can only be compared to flying a jet fighter two feet off the ground. While the same height and length as the MINI Cooper, the driver in the VentureOne sits as high off the road as a BMW 3-series. When combined with its 360 glass canopy effect, the VentureOne not only provides a driver with tremendous road visibility, but adds to a sense of overall driving confidence. The VentureOne weighs approximately 1,200 pounds in prototype form, with an overall width of 48 inches, a... See less

WaveCrest has developed propulsion systems for mid-size and full-size utility ATVs with vehicle speeds up to 60 kph (37 mph). The mid-size ATV system (300-600 lb) offers electric-only propulsion, via 1.8 kW (3.6 kW peak) in-wheel motors, that boasts zero emissions, silent mobility, and improved efficiency through regenerative braking and decreased driveline parasitic drag. The full-size ATV system (600-1600 lb) has a parallel hybrid drivetrain that offers two primary modes: propulsion from combined electric motor and internal-combustion engine, or electric-only propulsion; each has unique benefits from optimized fuel efficiency for superior range to silent electric-only mobility for stealth-like operation. Another option for full-size ATVs is a series hybrid architecture. It couples an isotach engine and generator with in-wheel electric motors to reduce emissions, provide off-board electric power, boost fuel efficiency, and increase both packaging space and chassis design flexibility...

It’s something I’ve wanted ever since reading Dan Dare in the Eagle comic, a Skycar! Developed by Moller, it’s capable of vertical take-off, travels at 350mph and does 21 miles to a gallon of alcohol (which is a damn sight more than I can!). It’s still at prototype stage, despite the fact that development started in the 1960’s and is scheduled for its first flight later this year. Neiman Marcus have started advertising it now at the cool tune of $3,500,000 (which doesn’t include delivery!), this is for a prototype model, the main production is estimated to begin in 2008-2009.

The Dolphin watercraft built by INNESPACE is not named the Bionic Dolphin or VASH. It appeared recently at nextfest in Chicago and was misnamed the bionic dolphin. I have recently been informed that this name is now trademarked by a corporation representing bionicdolphin.com . The innespace dolphin recently performed for Wired Nextfesst in Chicago and appeared on the Today show,and was misnamed the bionic dolphin The Dolphin appeared with other futuristic vehicles like the segway centaur, the moller skycar, deep flight and the buckeye bullet. The Innespace dolphin submarine is no longer allowed to be refered to as a Bionic Dolphin because that name is now trademarked by a corporation acting on behalf of the original inventor of the Bionic Dolphin concept. , Sweet virgin angel is a submersible dolphin watercraft that was designed and built by Innespace.

May 25th, 2008 by Edwin in Eco Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear, Vehicle Gadgets Solar power looks like it is here to stay, and we have so far seen solar powered cars being the Holy Grail in the fight to be independent of black gold, or rather, oil. Hybrid cars aren’t exactly catching on as fast as environmentalists prefer, and solar powered cars have not made the impact they were supposed to mainly because the technology is not yet there for a powerful, conventionally shaped vehicle that runs entirely off the sun’s rays. Never mind modes of transportation on land - here we have a solar powered speedboat that will slice through water pretty much in the same way an ordinary speedboat does, save for the fact that this one relies on the sun to power its electric engine instead. Dubbed the Czeers MK1 prototype solar speedboat, this is the first of its kind in the world, and is capable of hitting speeds of 30 knots in full stride. It will come in shades of carbon fiber, solar cell and lush... See less

The Segway i2 Personal Transporter (PT) is a completely versatile and eco-friendly transportation alternative. The i2 model can take you places that a car or bicycle can't, including inside many stores, office buildings, businesses, airports, elevators and trains. Although they're ideal for short jaunts, Segway PTs can travel as far as 24 miles/38 km on a single battery charge, depending on terrain, payload and riding style. To move forward or backward on the Segway PT, the rider just leans slightly forward or backward. To turn left or right, the rider simply moves the LeanSteer frame left or right. The wireless infokey controller allows for custom speed settings up to 12.5 mph, a built-in theft alarm, trip counter and other display features. With the Segway i2 you get the sense of power and speed, yet you also feel a sense of safety and absolute control. It all feels natural, safe and instinctive. The Segway PT also has many benefits for you and the environment: less gas to buy,... See less

Yes, the Segway is lame. But then, the Segway can't fly. If it could, I wouldn't judge its owners so harshly. Say hello to the VertiPod, which is basically just that. You stand on it and steer it around, and by leaning in one direction or another it'll point you in that direction. It all sounds terribly dangerous, and I want one. See less
