The concept electric bike posted a couple of months back, was good for the starters but not as good as the Shadow wireless bicycle that features wireless brakes, wireless throttle and a wireless pedal assist system. The bike is completely wireless unlike other normal bicycles, as it features integrated battery and motor design powered by proprietary, patent pending Daymark Drive™ technology, developed in Canada. Shadow bike can easily be recognized as a superlative bike design, owning to its 1000w power, lithium batteries, regenerative brakes and an integrated rim designs.

Rossi Navi Shipyard has recently released a 42.8 m concept called Ketos, an elegant and streamlined design with a marine grade aluminum structure. The yacht aggressive shape and gill-like vertical lines give the idea of ‘big fish’ which is the Greek translation for Ketos. Ketos is a pure planing yacht available in two versions, the trideck and Fly, which features an open main saloon and dining room. The yacht has a projected range of around 2,000 nautical miles and a max speed of 25 knots. Ketos can comfortably accommodate 10 guests in the owners’ cabin and four double guest cabins and seven crew members onboard. The yacht is designed to integrate high comfort levels and wide spaces, with harmonious views.

These days, a lot of designers are coming up with innovative designs in bikes and they seem to be getting better with each new invention. The futuristic bicycle design here is similar to the hubless BMX concept posted last month, but you and I, both can bet that this red hot version is superior when it comes to design standards. The designer has managed to design something so dashing with the aid of lighter and malleable materials that makes framing and structuring easier.

This stunning bike is a concept art of Marouane Bembli, inspired by the Transformers Movies. It is supposed to handle itself without human interference. With its slender design and V4 engine, it could easily overtake its opponents and thus be a guardian of the city. This hip bike would certainly be the envy of every bike enthusiast.

We always encourage modern bicycle designs with good mechanical ergonomics. Here’s a latest bicycle design by Krizarl Calanglang and it claims to be an Eco concept. Although there aren’t any details available on the functioning of this bicycle, my intuition tells me the green valve adjoining the hind wheel must have something innovative in store.

Often it happens that we go shopping on our bike and on return are in a dilemma as where to put all our bags, but not anymore. Red Dot Design Award winner for 2009, Biquattro is an electric bike that offers ease of mobility with convenience of storage space. It can be driven on two wheels and when the need arises the rear wheel can be split transforming the bike into a tricycle with a storage unit. The storage unit has a volume up to 150 litres. It has battery powered motor lasting thirty kilometers per charge with a charging time of only three hours. Alternatively it can be ridden like a bicycle using the pedals. Designed by Valentin Vodev, Biquattro is a versatile electric bike in the true sense.

Designer Travis Clark has designed a concept Forklift that will definitely aid the drivers of this contraption. The concept forklift’s overhead components are angled in such a way as to provide maximum vision to the driver. What is more, the seat and pedals can spin around a whole 180 degrees to ease driving in reverse. There is also a first aid kit placed in a compartment on the side of this forklift. The sleek design and color scheme are an added USP of this forklift.

FIGO is a unique concept car designed by Shantanu Joshi. Hi-tech and futuristic, this concept car design has won the designer the second runners up place at the Automotive Design Challenge. The car with a glass top appears to be a two-seater. Since no information is available we can only guess the features of this unique car.

Imagine getting 202.3 mpg from a car. Yes this is what Kia promises from its new ‘Ray’ plug-in hybrid concept car at top mileage. This beautifully designed car was unveiled at the 2010 Chicago auto show and is part of Kia’s Ecodynamics sub-brand. The ray is one of the first cars released under this brand and features a lithium ion polymer battery pack, a roof-top photovoltaic cell to power the air conditioning system inside etc. While many cars have comparable features, yet Kia Ray promises super mileage primarily due to its exceptional aerodynamic design.

The future has arrived and how! With the Öbb – Gruen 3Roll around things are definitely looking easy and very technology-driven at railway stations. Transporting luggage will be cakewalk and frequent travelers can be happy with this new-found device that drives difficulty away. The 3ROLL works with the Stepper System ultimately improving physical health by increasing body movement. You won’t have to look far as 3 Roll is located at the entry and at platforms for your comfort. The integrated display with GPS navigation shows you the way to your platform after you scan your ticket.

They say too many cooks spoil the broth, but when it comes to tech projects, the term “the more the merrier” is more suitable. This was displayed by nine mechanical engineering students who teamed up to design a unique project for their design class. The nine heads studying in Yale got together to create a spokeless bicycle. Their aim was to prove that you could build a human powered spokeless bicycle. Their bicycle features a bicycle whose front wheel has spokes but the rear wheel is spokeless. The design allows for the possibilities of an electric motor, or even “some sort of gyro balanced storage basket”. Although the students planned to keep both wheels spokeless, the time and budget constraints they had to make improvisations and go with only one spokeless wheel.

Do striking looks and efficiency of a bike go hand in hand? This question crosses the mind when we look at BMX concept bike designed by Nikolay Boltachev. Basically it is a shaft driven hubless bicycle. Shaft- driven bicycles have been in existence since some time. They offer an alternative to chain drives and are relatively maintenance free. They allow you to ride without need to worry about getting chain grease on your trousers or skirt. On the other hand the disadvantage of using a shaft drive on a bicycle is that gearing is needed to turn power 90° from the shaft to the rear wheel, hence some power is lost in the process. Moreover chain drives have a high percentage of efficiency. They are proven technology, easily repairable in the field, very strong etc. Secondly though hubless wheels are elegant in appearance but they are difficult to manufacture requiring a great deal of precision machining and the design leaves the mechanical parts more or less exposed to the elements. The bike is presently in its conceptual stage and I admit that the hubless wheels give it a stylish touch.

Nicholas Holland has designed a new concept bike that is a two-wheeler and looks extremely futuristic. The design appears as though a giant loop is passing through the front wheel. It makes use of magnetic field there by reducing the friction and making the vehicle much more energy efficient. With the forward and backward movement, the field spins the wheel and also rotates the axis when steering. The designer has taken care of the ergonomic aspects to solve the urban commuting woes.

Now ‘Three Two One’ is a very interesting concept that provides health benefits. Firstly, it busts the myth that only clowns unicycle. Secondly, the exercise has actually proven to promote a strong core and healthy back while improving the posture. Named ‘Three 2 One’ and rightly so, the unicycle starts with cycling on three-wheels, then gradually making the user adapt to two wheels and then finally cycle on one wheel. So not only do they just sell their products, they care enough to make sure you use it well. Also it is extremely portable and can be easily carried. Plus it’s a great sport and good for the physical fitness too!

Well-known Italian designer Carlo Cafiero has joined hands with the TechMarine shipyard on a new 80-meter super yacht concept that resembles a Lamborghini or a shark. The power-to-weight ratio is achieved by a steel and light alloy aluminum hull and superstructure and the yacht is characterized by a forceful design. The high prow combined with the tinted polycarbonate bulwarks art shielding a sea-level swimming pool and gym/ sauna give it an aggressive, shark like appearance. The craft’s slightly convex protruding side windows contribute to this appearance. The twin caterpillar 3516 hp engines project a maximum speed of 17 knots with a cruising speed of 15 knots and a range of 6000 nautical miles at cruising speed.
