If I was to describe “The Uno” in three words those would be sharp, single and stylish.
It is all due to the fact that although it works like a Segway it looks like Hayabusa’s small and single-wheeled brother. It is an absolute brand new custom machine and makes an impressive entry with the sport-like riding position offered (footpegs are way behind while the seat and handlebars are what you would expect to find on your daily sportbike).
In order to keep good balance there are two side-by-side wheels with custom rims while the orange and grey color scheme elected for it won’t have it pass unnoticed at any Motorcycle Show. Its first was in Toronto.
If you are on the other side of the planet and a few feet in the water and you think you can not satisfy your passion for two-wheelers, here’s the submarine scooter, the Thunderbolt971, which offers you that possibility under water.
The sea horse is a revolutionary new way to move easily under the water and admire the beauty of the world of silence. Its battery provides a range of 50-minute walk at a speed of 2 to 5 knots.
The bubble of glass is fed without interruption with air from the diving bottle and it can be doubled for the more experienced which can enjoy diving also during the night thanks to the integrated lights.
The World’s Most Advanced 1/8th Scale Radio Controlled motorcycle seems like a lot of fun and good training for spoiled kids willing to become a small Rossi one day. Development never stops so who knows, maybe we’ll even be seeing races with these things any time soon.
What you’re seeing in this video may look and sound like a two-stroke motorcycle engine, but actually this is an USB hub that uses a jack and two pedal switches in order to “rev” higher and produce yet a stronger exhaust note. Who said that you can’t take your dirt bike to the office?
We’ve seen diesel bikes, electric bikes and virtually everything you would imagine, but the air-powered moped is the latest invention that catches our attention. The great innovatory action takes place in the Planet Mechanics show presented on the U.K. National Geographic channel.
Its inventor, Jem Stansfield had the wonderful idea of compressing air in carbon fiber tanks which are especially built for that and then use the energy of the evacuated air in order to be propelled on (...) >> read

Suzuki happily looks towards the future as it has extended its agreement with Intelligent Energy and has plans for developing hydrogen fuel-cell motorcycles which with a little bit of luck will soon be entering production.
The closest thing found to such a product is the Suzuki Crosscage. This hydrogen fuel-cell powered concept delivers comparable power with a 125cc motorcycle in the same category, the only difference between it and its competitor being the fact that the emissions (...) >> read

It is not the hardest thing to start, neither a smoke machine so this makes the main character of this video wonder why the idea isn’t approached when it comes to mass production. There are advantages (awesome low end torque) and disadvantages (noise and powerful vibrations), but just look at it go!
Students at the University of Nottingham in U.K. are working on a school project which could revolutionize the way people will learn how to ride bikes in the near future.
