Full of defensive, but mostly offensive equipment, the Batpod is the famous two-wheeled machine that helps Batman end up victorious over its enemies in “Dark Night”.
Most Batman series concentrated on the action and we often found ourselves hoping he’ll get back in the Bat mobile and use the damn rocket launcher so let’s hope he spends a little more time on it at least now.
We all know how “imposing” a policeman on a scooter can be, but with the new T3 Mobile Defender from Lamperd Less Lethal we ca lose the quotation marks very easily.
At a first sight it doesn’t look very threatening for lawbreakers and even would make such subjects believe that it was probably invented to keep officers rested for when it comes to chase them on foot. Wrong! The chase won’t even be necessary as the small scooter comes equipped with a powerful air gun and (...) >> read
You’ve probably read a lot of news about how police in Great Britain threaten to confiscate the bikes, cameras and computers of those who broadcast themselves on the internet after riding at speeds above 180 mph, but their gear is indeed efficient if it stood up to that.
Such an example is Twenty20 Motorcycle Camera and it is strongly recommended that you don’t use it for that, but to capture the most beautiful sights you’ve laid your eyes on and, eventually, share it (...) >> read
Luma is a company which specializes in people’s safety in motion and as a result of that it introduces their brand new 2008 block disc collection with audio alarm.
There are two models available, the Enduro 912 and 914 and in addition to the design and comfort features it brings up to 100 Decibels, feature which makes it able to partially or completely replace traditional alarms.
What is so cool about this ingenious system is that it works deliberately and independently so that the rider is able to set up the traditional mode alarm or have it block the discs when activated. Simplicity is also a feature of it as it can switch from one mode to another by simply pressing a button located on the side of the lock and the deactivation mode alarm takes place only when opening the lock with the key.
Every model comes with a different diameter closure, 10mm for the 912 model and 5mm for the 914 and customers can choose from two color versions, gold and silver.
Technical features also include the lock with reversible key, protection of the lock by opening with an automatic lid and a nylon transport bag.

It is by now clear that the innovative ideas are the ones that keeps thing interesting when it comes to car and motorcycle industries and with this occasion, the two are blended in perfectly, almost literally!
Introduced in 1981 to fit inside the trunk of the new Honda city, the MotoCompo features folding handlebars, seat and footpegs. They all go into the scooter’s rectangular plastic body and end up presenting the bike as a box-shaped package. It is a rare bike because although there were produced 53,369 units until 1983, not many lived to fight another day, or shoot another video. Enjoy it!
The Wireless Impact Guardian helmet was invented by Brycen Spencer, engineering student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The ingenious student had the great idea that a helmet should not only offer the needed protection in case of an impact, but make sure that the rider is ok and if not, call 911 for him and announce rescuers about the accident and the location.
Simple idea, great results: Once the helmet detects a hit, a device attached to it starts beeping for approximately (...) >> read

But a company called Hit Air has invented an air bag system that comes integrated in the motorcycle jacket and prevents the rider’s body from getting seriously injured in case of an impact followed by a serious fall (the kind that happen when car drivers turn left in front of an approaching motorcycle).
The Hit Air Jacket is equipped with an automatically inflatable (...) >> read
