“Made of plastic” is not the only characteristic of the Izzy Plastic Urban Bike, a collaborative project between Omer Sagiv and Uri Sadeh. One would expect a fragile vehicle but the bike is actually quite firm to bear the weight of two adults. Best of all, its frame is recyclable, which means that you can have the damaged frame replaced at the store. To top off the cool concept, the bike also incorporates 2 free standing locking systems, three-dimensional illumination, and the integrated rear suspension. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Welcome to the cool looking Falcon Concept Car. It’s futuristic, it’s magnificent, and most importantly, it’s powered with jet propelled engines.

When the engines are turned off, Falcon would rest in a vertical position as the SEGWAY does, taking up less space than conventional vehicles. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Look! This new electric bike seems like a slab. It generates the power from a Lithium-ion Battery, which is always used by electric cars, to make the bike work much longer. When driven by electricity, the bike sets both of the pedals at the low position, which is a suitable position for riders. Moreover, it holds a compartment for the rider to store his/her portable gadgets, such as laptop, cellphone, iPod and more. The most interesting point is that, when connected to your laptop (stored in the compartment), the bike would access to the internet and show you the route through the integrated upfront screen.

Possibly nobody could figure out why the Yale mechanical engineering students designed the weird bike with a spokeless rear wheel, as that didn’t help to improve the bikes. Actually, the answer is quite simple: they designed it just because ‘it looks cool’. It changed the regular structure and mechanical properties of the conventional bikes, employing a drive cog that meshes with a planetary gear on the rim to drive the bike forward.

It is nice for us to see what the personal commuting vehicles would be like in the future, especially when we’ve just finished an old year and started a new year. Designed by Yuji Fujimura for Yamaha, the Wheel Rider is an innovative personal vehicle that features both a compact size and a functional shape. It consists of three layers, a solid metal outer body, a big wheel at the middle and a driving cab inside. Compared with two-wheeler vehicles, the Wheel Rider has greatly reduced its size, therefore to some extent solving the problem of heavy traffic on city roads.

Plans to develop Wheel Rider haven’t splashed down yet. [Read the rest of this entry...]

The newly launched electric vehicle is aimed at big cities and other places where the streets are always congested. To meet the urban commute requirements, the electric scooter not only features a compact shape, but promises an easy storage.

The design also speaks of green promises, as it is powered by super charging lithium batteries (they could be full charged in merely five minutes) and won’t lead to exhaust gas pollution. Besides, the vehicle also features an LED blue halo headlight for night riding. [Read the rest of this entry...]

You love the bicycle, right? Sadly it is only an interesting concept issued by Peugeot. Anyhow, it still attracts everyone, due to its simple and elegant design. Not only that, the “B1K” bicycle will also change the way you ride a bike as it doesn’t have the handlebar. So if you’re to ride “B1K”, you’ll have to be in an upside position.

Coming from the Michelin Challenge Design 2010, ‘2028 One’ is a single-seater for inter-city transportation. Based on the Segway mechanism, the lightweight vehicle is compact enough for an easy driving. Though it adopts a joystick, the car could also be entirely controlled by a computer.
