ZIPcycle

ZIPcycle

ZIPcycle is the next evolution of the bicycle, aerodynamically optimized for less exertion & higher cruising speeds. In short, the rider gets more output with less input! The position of the rider is streamlined & elements are enclosed with fairings to greatly reduce drag; so much so that about 40% less energy is required to maintain a cruising speed of 20MPH (double the average commuting speed). The ergonomic riding stance also reduces handlebar strain & seat pressure… all this & riders still get an open-air experience!

o2 Moto

The dual-purpose Air Powered Motorbike tackles street and off-road environments effortlessly with its many enhancements to achieve the lightest weight possible. Though inspired by the gasoline engine Yamaha Tricker stunt bike, it is powered by three compressed air tanks that make it even lighter. Different from conventional air motors, the rotary air engine virtually eliminates the vibration, internal wear, and friction while offering superior performance. Perfect for newbies who want to practice their wheelie.

Hella Pedals!

Hella Pedals!

With its patented upper body pedaling system, the 4StrikeBike is unlike any you’ve seen before! It has adjustable handlebar pedals that supplement power to the foot pedals. The special freewheel system allows the bike to be cycled with both arms and legs or with legs alone. Using multiple muscle groups means greater distance capability for touring, or just giving your legs a rest. Talk about a full body workout!

Light Direction In Floods

Light Direction In Floods

The Safety Light is a lighting system that kicks into action once the streets get flooded and are under water. As a thumb rule its safer not to use vehicles during this time, but these lights are meant for those folks who are simply stuck and need to move out of harm’s way. The design combines LED, an H2O battery and traditional Cat Eyes Road Studs.

Robotic Gait

Robotic Gait

The 7-miles is a concept of an active robotic orthosis designed to fit physically challenged and able folks. It supports a person right from their gluteus area to the femoral and calf muscles. The support does not restrict the range of motion and is very lightweight. Thanks to a flexible design it is possible to extend the height to fit a 150 – 200cm tall person. For the able-folks, it serves as a city personal commuting system.

Literally out of this world!

Literally out of this world!

A few years ago, space tourism was utterly science fiction. But with private operations already underway and queues of wealthy travelers lining up, this ultimate thrill-seeker’s adventure has become a reality. The XLDron M Gravity concept sheds light on what we might expect from our future spacecraft. The dual vehicle design consists of a shuttle and “rocket-plane” that work in tandem to carry 4 crew and 10 tourists beyond the reaches of our atmosphere before gliding home.

Saved By The Bed

Saved By The Bed

The idea of a safety bed nestled within the railway track system is more than necessary for countries like India, where track-deaths are plenty. U-Roadbed is a U-Shaped roadbed created in the sleepers of the track. This cavity safely nestles the unfortunate person who slips onto the tracks of an upcoming train. I like the idea because any chance offered at survival and saving life is a good one. I only hope it’s a doable idea.

Ahoy Vey

Ahoy Vey

Visualize in your mind, for just a moment, a scarf blowing in the wind. Seriously, just do it!  Now look at the VEY yacht and you’ll instantly see the inspiration behind its sweeping, elegant form. The “wings” of this ultimate entertainer’s vessel are visually striking yet functional as they provide shelter from the elements at the aft. In contrast, the exposed bow is perfect for sunbathing, dining, dancing, or having your own Jack and Rose Titanic moment.

One Step for Man

One Step for Man

From an engineering perspective, the step scooter is a true innovation in human powered vehicles. Other mobile products have tried to recreate the non-cycling, up-down motion similar to a stair-climber with limited practical results. The STP scooter expands on the functionality and appeal by making it foldable and as aesthetically customizable as a skateboard deck. More efficient than a kick scooter and half the size of a bike, it’s perfect for stepping your way around the city.

Human Hives of the Future

Human Hives of the Future

Design Yuhan Zhang imagines cities in 2030 being so congested they require multi-layered transportation systems that divide routes between pedestrian, commercial, and personal use. The system closely resembles a beehive, where individuals serving various tasks can use designated vehicles to get around and complete their missions. At the center of the hive, automated vehicles are dispatched directly to customers. For example, the Beetruck here is a programmable rental truck that’s perfect for transporting cargo.

Supersonic Space Tourism

Supersonic Space Tourism

The SXT-A Iron Speed aircraft concept combines three types of next-gen propulsion engines that work in different stages to connect destinations. It’s like any commercial flight but offers space-tourists the opportunity to experience a supersonic cruise speed at Mach 2, a maximum hypersonic speed at Mach 6, as well as a few minutes on the border of space at an altitude over 100km. With break-neck speed and the excitement of a moment in space, it’s like taking your favorite roller coaster from New York to Paris.

2 Wheels for Toyota

Designer Francisco Ulla’s concept for a Toyota brand Hybrid Bike focuses on use of lightweight materials and straightforward functionality of its electric motor that together offer efficient mobility in the city. The small rechargeable motor is located in the crankset near the pedal and provides instantaneous assisted power on command using the handlebar throttle. Composed almost entirely of aluminum and bioplastic, the design upholds Toyota’s modern eco-conscious direction making it a perfect compliment to the hybrid city car.
