Segwhat? Adult Power Wheel is Slightly Less Nerdy Option

Far be it from us to say that Segways aren’t cool or that riding one makes you look really dorky…but those things are absolutely true. If you still want to get around without actually moving your legs (that’s soooo 20th century) but don’t want to look like a mall security guard, we may have found a way for you to do just that. You can thank us later.

The Cool Rider is a pretty simple gadget: it’s a motor attached to a wheel with a long handle sticking out of it. You can attach the included platform for scooter-like riding, or let it pull you along on your rollerblades or skateboard. The rechargeable battery lets you zip around for up to an hour per charge. Its top speed is only 12 miles an hour, so you won’t be able to outrun the mall cop on the Segway (which goes 12.5 mph) but you’ll definitely have him beat out in hipness points.

The Cool Rider also costs about 1/4 of the Segway’s price, only setting you back a cool $1250. The only danger – aside from gaining considerable mass from never walking again – is the position of the handlebar. We know low-riders are cool, but it seems to be in a position that’s just asking for trouble.

Mondial de l'Automobile 2012: Concept Cars Mimpi-mimpi benua Eropa dari Paris Motor Show Oleh Evan Orensten pada 3 Oktober 2012 Paris motor show 2012 mempersembahkan dan memaksa para pembuat mobil untuk melenturkan kembali otot-otot desain mereka pada bukan hanya pada sisi produksi tapi juga dalam hal berkonsep. Inilah dia 7 model favorit yang dianggap cukup mewakili imajinasi bangsa-bangsa Eropa. Peugeot Onyx Sebuah konsep yang nyata—hadir untuk menjadi topik pembicaraan, namun nampaknya tidak akan diproduksi dalam waktu dekat ini.—Peugeot's Onyx terbuat dari bahan tembaga, serat karbon, dan daur ulang koran. The Onyx dibayangkan menjelma menjadi supercar hybrid yang super ringan, namun dibekali mesin V8 demi melejitkan 600 tenaga kuda.

Tibi & Dabo Robots For Public Spaces

Tibi and Dabo are 2 cute robots designed to provide a wide range of services to citizens in Barcelona’s public spaces. The final shape of Tibi & Dabo came from different conceptualization and development techniques, such as surveys, sociological, iconicity pyramids, and ethnographical tools. These robots are the result from collaboration between the School of Design ESDi and the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI), who coordinated the European, funded URUS Project (Ubiquitous Networking Robotics in Urban Settings). Tibi & Dabo are here because the project URUS attempts to analyze and test the idea how robots can interact with human beings in a cooperative way. We can use robots to assist us like when we need transportation of goods or surveillance in urban areas in order to improve life quality. Designer : ESDi and IRI (Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics)
