I’ve always wanted a motorcycle but I don’t think I’m responsible enough to ride open-air-style down a highway at 120 MPH. Ben Nelson, however, is more of a risk taker. The lucky sonofabitch got a 1981 Kawasaki KZ440 motorcycle for a mere $100. He swapped out the (broken) motor and was able to add four huge batteries for $160 and a $500 Etek motor. Two weekends of work later, Ben has a new hog. It’s probably not as fast or... Continue reading

It may not be the hover board from Back To The Future but it’s almost as dangerous. The Altered Pro Module 600 wireless electric skateboard is the only skateboard guaranteed to get lady attention. With a wireless remote for controlling the acceleration and braking of the skateboard, who needs legs? It can go from 0-19 MPH in only four seconds and can do an 8-12 mile trek on a single charge. Talk about pro-boarding! Those are some mighty intense speeds... Continue reading

A group of young minds at the Saint Thomas Academy in Mendota Heights, MN have constructed from scratch a lithium phosphate ion-powered motorcycle that can travel at speeds of 60 MPH for 50+ miles before needing to be recharged. Safer than any Vespa you’ve taken for a ride, this electric bike has been built with the driver’s safety in mind.  Implemented in its design are “crush zones” formed by compressible materials to protect the driver by keeping him/her inside the...

Half-motorcycle, half-Prius, the Enertia motorbike is bound to turn heads. With a striking design reminiscent of some Harley-Davidson and Triumph models, this bad boy only does 50 MPH top speed, which may disappoint some. Then you’ll realize it’s a 100-percent electric bike with a bunch of batteries, right as you pass that Sunoco gas station with premium hitting $4.73 a gallon. With a charge time similar to the Tesla Roadster (three hours) and the ability to plug in pretty much... Continue reading

The social networking site Twitter has more function than meets the eye. Hacknmod.com has shown that with Twitter, connecting your laptop to electrical devices will have you turning them on and off by simply sending a text message to your Twitter account. No need for “clap on, clap off” anymore. Just curtail the text message so you can spam it, turning your apartment into your very own rave. Get everyone in your building in on it and you all could...

Sanyo has started selling the expensive-looking T-SOLID SV-NS1 electric shaver before Christmas, claiming that it was the best-looking electric shaver they have ever made. The Impress team took it for a spin and liked what they saw. First off the whole redesigned handle and the slanted angle all turn out to be really ergonomic. The best part is perhaps the little door that you can open and flush water in to wash the blade without taking the whole head off,... Continue reading

Ready for an inherit contradiction? Here you go: a Hummer electric bike. It cannot possible, it goes against everything HUMMER stands for (killing the ozone, looking rich…). There is no way that HUMMER made this, right? Well, yes, that is right because this is a homemake custom bike. This custom bike features the very powerful Cyclone electric motor to propel the bike once you get going. The max speed of this eco-friendly bike is 20mph, which isn’t bad at all... Continue reading

Pool parties are really fun until that igloo cooler that holds 6 drinks is empty and you have to go back in the house, soaking wet, just to get 6 more drinks. The Electric Party Refrigerator will remove the worry of ruining that expensive hardwood floor; this portable refrigerator can hold massive amounts of drinks right where the party is bumping. This roomy “watering hole� can hold 72 12 oz…sodas, 48…IBC root beers, or 36 bottles of…sparkling cider. What’s technical... Continue reading
