Other autos covers everything that doesn’t fall into the mainstream categories and may include rides such as powered skateboards.
these days people like us are just plain lazy. instead of walking to the convenience store that’s just three blocks away, we chose to hop on into our gas-guzzlers. however, if there is the Rover Electric Scooter, then that would be a different story altogether. its somewhat chunky but lightweight aluminum construction hides away a three-phase brushless DC motor
apart from flying cars, traveling on a single-wheel contraption is probably the next most dream about transportation, albeit being way less ambitious. while flying cars may take quite a while to fruition, electric single-wheeler is not a dream anymore – if you have that kind of money to throw. and the money we are talking
granted that the Grizzly Robotic Utility Vehicle might not be something an average ordinary folk would buy, but still its appeal to geeks are just about the same as any other gadgets on this planet. developed by Canadian robotic development firm Clearpath Robotics, the Grizzly Robotic Utility Vehicle is an autonomous four-wheel drive robotic platform
remember the uber cool electric-powered bodyboard, Kymera? well, it might be a dream no more for those who are game enough to give it a go and have at least $2,500 to throw. the folks behind this awesome who-needs-the-wave-anyway bodyboard has taken it to Kickstarter, seeking your support to make it a reality.
if you are looking at getting the most out of your skateboard – we have a bad news for you: it is only as fast your leg could kick, but if you are open to outside of the box skating ideology, then go for the Wheelman Motorized Skateboard instead. take it as natural progression for your insatiable need for speed and your desire to go anywhere with it.
there are skateboards and then there are awesome skateboards. so what’s awesome you ask? the answer is, doing it without any kicking, while still able to tear through nearly any terrains (note: we said nearly) and the Dropboards Carvemotor 50cc Motorized Skateboard is just the ride that will do those.
long before people start zooming downhill with huge, surfboard-like skateboards, there were those little plastic boards that let us whizzed around our neighborhood and at times, landed us in some wild and exhilarating chases by dogs (note: not the other way round). like all awesome things we love (Vespa, Mini – just to name a few), these lovable, kick-powered rides are making…
if you think skateboarding is not fast enough to thrill you or kicking the ground to get the skateboard moving is a complete chore, then perhaps throwing in a motor or two into it might be a good idea. we know, we know, electric-powered skateboards are not new but up till now, they are mostly cumbersome and heavy, and certainly not something that you could lug around like…
not content with just virtual mech machines in a game of MechWarrior? i knew you wouldn’t cos’ we aren’t too. since the beginning of time, many dudes who grew up watching Japanese animations such as Robotech or played MechWarrior have dreamt of piloting robots or Mechs (it just a more high-tech way of saying pilot-able robot)…
body board – we bet you didn’t think it has any use beside hitting the waves? actually, it has more meaningful use if it is motorized. any avid body boarder would even tell you that they wished their body boards are powered so that their leisurely fun will not be at the mercy of Mother Nature. you know how it goes: no wind equals…
if you think today’s electric skateboards are little too tame to make it to your ‘to buy’ list, then the Gnarboards Trail Rider Electric Skateboard might just change your perception. what sets the Trail Rider apart from the rest of the…
