We’ve seen some funky looking, eco-wary transportation devices, but the “Ozone” concept takes the cake. It would run entirely on hydrogen powered fuel cells because as we all know, gasoline just isn’t cutting it anymore. The cabin of the vehicle is encased between two giant wheels that are controlled by two separate electric motors powered by the fuel cells.

I sure hope they didn’t design the cabin to roll with the wheels because that would be a dizzying experience. Controlled with a joystick as if you’re on a light cycle in Tron, the Ozone is the definitive future vehicle. It may look like a child’s toy but take notice: the doors slide 360 degree into its own frame.  That’s rad.

So you want to turn a corner and finally upgrade to an eco-friendly vehicle? If you were to take the words “green” and “environmental” to a literal conclusion, you might end up with something that looks pretty similar to this AstroTurf covered Niva.

Clearly, the artificial grass does nothing to improve the state of the environment. For all we know, the production of AstroTurf is completely detrimental to the green cause (though any car that closer resembles a baseball park to a automobile is cool in our book.) Best of all, there’s no mowing necessary. (more…)

If you’ve been looking for a graceful motor bike to cruise around the city streets with, the nUCLEUS is definitely not the bike for you. Designed by Branko Lukic, the nUCLEUS is the antagonist of aerodynamic design, built on the foundations of “square against air.”

Despite the nUCLEUS’ physics defying design, it’s described as being more nimble then it looks. You saddle up on the Anti-Bike like you would mount a horse, except a whip won’t make this monster go any faster. (more…)

If an alien and the Embrio Unicycle were to find a way to have a freaky love child, the offspring might resemble the Cerva MC08. Sporting what appears to be an evil grin (no doubt thrilled to have just slaughtered countless humans,) the MC08 is an oval-shaped conceptual transport vehicle which offers modular design to integrate various means of getting around.

The Cerva MC08 is modular in the sense that there is a three wheel axle extension that can be mounted on the vehicle for use on the hard road. The designers say it can carry up to two people at once but we have no idea how. We’re guessing one passenger would have to ride with his legs around the drivers shoulders, unless there is a separate modular piece for an extra seat. (more…)

A typical unicycle is a one wheeled vehicle, where you can usually spy the driver of the said vehicle positioned on-top of the single wheel, flopping around like a trained circus performer. It’s time for a unicycle revolution! And the Monowheel delivers on all counts.

Instead of riding atop of a wheel, the Monocycle puts the driver inside of the single rotator. When rumors of a monowheel-like vehicle being sold in China proved false, designer Ben Wilson took matters into his own hands, creating his very own chick repellent. (more…)

Forget about the fact that this is even a PC, but even if this were a real motorcycle, the green LED glow would capture my attention. Now, imagine being able to have this Motorcycled Case Mod in your office or computer den.

This liquid-cooled Motorcycle Case holds the tradition of other vehicle themed case mods, but goes completely overboard with the modding, leaving the PC as just a footnote on the rump of the bike. (more…)

From the inflatable to the perverted, we’ve seen it all when it comes to R/C powered toys. But what about for that one rich snobby bastard kid in every city who seems to have it all? The Remote Controlled Hummer is probably not something that little brat got under their Christmas tree last year.

Yes, it is a full sized hummer. Fully capable of mowing down a small crowd of elderly couples and nuns, or even encasing a full night club. It’s probably not the best idea to allow a child to control a full-scale Hummer (without it being made out of some sort of pliable material), seeing as anyone else being behind the wheel needs to have something called a ‘driver’s license’. And anyone willing to spend £30,000 (around $60,300) on their child’s Christmas gift needs to have their head examined, or at least provide sufficient armor. — Andrew Dobrow

I don’t know about you, but if I was still in elementary school, and one day a bus like this came to pick me up, I would flip the fuck out! The Topsy-Turvy Bus defies the laws of reality by offering a mirror image of itself, on top of….itself.

At least if this bus were to flip over in an accident, it would almost always land on its wheels. (more…)

The Marion Hyper-Sub Submersible Powerboat is not your average sea bearing vessel. The Hyper-Sub can operate as both a boat and a submarine, both equally well. And it can look pretty sweet while doing it too.

Creator Reynolds Marion enlisted the help of his mechanical engineer neighbor to help create the schematics for the Hyper-Sub, and as it turns out, the schematics allowed for an awesome design as well. Kinda like the Batmobile on water skis. (more…)
