Why buy a whole new e-bike, when you can just replace your regular bike s front wheel with one that has an electric motor? That s the thinking behind recent products such as the Omni Wheel, Electron Wheel and GeoOrbital Wheel. Singapore-based UrbanX has now also thrown its hat in the ring, with its Eco and Booster wheels – while their specs are mostly similar…
Currently, the car is insured and registered, although the DMV is still requiring that I drag it in and PROVE that there is no engine in the car before they give me the emissions tesing exemption. This car can go for 20 miles on a charge, and has a top speed of 45 MPH, the speed limit right outside my house. In town is all 25 mph anyways. My typical ride is 10…

In both cases, a welded steel tube frame and a cast-off lawnmower engine were all that stood between you and neighborhood glory. Looks like a couple of engineering students caught the retro juvenile delinquent bug and built this electric go-kart for their final…
On our show, we like extreme tech. And, as far as we re concerned, racing go-karts at 90 mph with your butt half an inch off the ground certainly qualifies as extreme. With scary acceleration and speed, high-performance karts are as exhilarating as it gets in racing circles. But these track-only rides use two-stroke engines, which are notoriously dirty-one kart…
This is part 1 of a series. You can find part 2 here, and part 3 here. I love riding my bicycle and I think its a shame that the suburb of Dayton I live in is designed for car use only. That means no bike lanes, high speed limits, busy intersections, and a low density packing of places I’d want to ride to. As a result I’m the only one I ever see pedaling across…
