Emcycle hybrid vehicle
January 26, 2010
The Emcycle hybrid is a mode of transportation that allows you to cocoon yourself and pedal to your destination, or enlist the help of electrical assistance to get you there. With three drive options which range from AM (I have energy) to PM (I'm tired!), you will definitely have fun with that while looking chic, although we're not too certain whether such a concept has ample safety features in mind to assemble it road-worthy. Apparently, it will be 30mph crash tested and comes with roll by protection, an airbag and a 3-point seat belt to keep you safe in the event of minor collisions, featuring a couple of locakable doors, a rear boot and LED headlights. So far the Emcycle has been classified as a bicycle in Europe, where it takes a whole night to recharge and has a working range of up to 40 miles with a top speed of 40mph.

Cheetah-Inspired Bike
November 19, 2009
One look at the Pardo and you’ll know that you’re looking at something different compared to your bog-standard bike. In case you didn’t know Pardo is short of guepardo, Spanish for cheetah, so you know where they’re trying to go with that. The rider is supposed to lie on the device, and use the pumping action of your legs to propel yourself forwards (to crash into something hard probably). The Argentinean designer, Pablo Lopez, actually built a working prototype, so whether you’re crazy suitable to give it a try, you could always ask him (politely).
