It fills the gap between FMX, scooter and BMX. Besides the the stunt riding it gives you the possibility to overcome distance inside a city by having two kinds of driving modes, the stunt-riding mode of course, and then the cruise mode that seats ...

Conceived after visiting a children’s hospital in Jerusalem, designer Shabtai Hirshberg created the A2B trike so disabled kids could mount and ride by themselves. When a child mounts the trike, stepping on the pedal locks the wheels, enabling the child to literally walk right into a seated position. The chest support keeps the child stabilized, and the whole trike can be customized to each child’s needs.The gear based rear wheel makes it easy for the ...

This great public-service announcement from a few years back, which aired on British television, features Denis Leary singing a modified version of his popular old song "I'm an Asshole." In terms of classic drunk-driving commercials, it's right up there with the PSA set in the Star Wars cantina. Also worth a viewing: the video for Leary's original song. —Posted by Tim Nudd

Jalopnik's list of the 10 Worst Non-Automotive Tie-ins With Automotive Brands actually has a couple of good ideas on it, like the Jeep stroller and the Ducati flash drive (which is the best Sandisk flash drive on the market). Nascar meats are a real downer, though, as we've mentioned before; the Ferrari Segway scooter (seen here) is just weird; and wearing Bugatti cologne sends an unmistakable chemical signal that you're an asshole. But I still ...

When I think of a van, I think of something a family owns: a “Soccer Mom” van, or one of those “full of crap” vans that a hectic multi-child family owns. The “Man”, as the Manvan defines it, is not one who would put up with foolish children delivering or cross-country-to-grandmother’s-house treks with family, no! The Manvan tends to to football loving man, the man who wants to watch hugescreen television in an empty parking-lot ...

The Henosis is a concept vehicle designed to connect human to machine in a personal way. The vehicle comes with a bevy of technological doo-dads to analyze the environment, driver’s mood, expression, and biometric readings to provide the most comfortable and safe driving experience. Using that ethos as the driving figure behind design, Alexei Mikhailov created a vehicle that pushes the limits of form and design creating a new body language. It doesn’t look like ...

With all the recent talk about high gas prices and strategies for improving your mileage, I thought I’d highlight a recent article from Consumer Reports on getting the best fuel economy for your buck. CR dug through their recent ratings and compiled a list of the most reliable cars ranked by their cost per mpg. The price/mpg ratio is an interesting approach in that it’s more or less equivalent to the quick-and-dirty method of valuing ...

Nevertheless, let’s forget about the marketing hype for a minute and recognize K&N for their simple innovation that should be standard on all oil filters: they’ve eliminated the need for special filter wrenches by welding 1″ nuts to the top of their automotive and marine filter canisters and 17mm nuts ...
