We enjoy the idea of concept cars. Whether they be gas-guzzling, budget crippling powerhouses or eco-friendly, self sufficient carts, we support car design ingenuity. However, the Peugeot+ is a design as goofy as its name. There is nothing “plus” about a car missing one wheel. This cicada-esque design is said to be a combination between scooter and car. So, why ...

Car companies are trying every day to get our minds off of high gas prices and onto things like alternative fuels and concept designs. Volkswagen is the latest car manufacturer to release a slew of concept renderings and this time, it’s a blast from the….future? These three vehicles are supposed to be what cars will look like in the year ...

Found on my pal Nick’s Tumblr, these sidecars from the past 50+ years are both unique and classic. What better way to add additional storage/passenger capacity to a scooter or motorcycle than a sidecar? From the gorgeous 1954 Steib sidecar above to the disgusting Volante sidecar of the 1930s, these are some metal caskets you can’t miss. Hit the jump ...

The ultimate eco-rumor has been making its round this morning.

I bet it can blast the opening theme of ...

Nothing is sweeter than a good, solid bike ride. Sometimes, it can be fun to bring your child on a bike ride around town or to the local market. However, most people choose to ride with their kid attached to the back of the bike. The Zigo puts your child in the front, directly in harm’s way. Did that teenager ...

Being stranded on an island of ice off the coast of Alaska is a total buzz kill. Luckily, Vince had the iceRESC water rescue craft to save us. Otherwise, I’d most likely be drinking my own urine for nourishment.� With caterpillar tracks for easy travel in water as well as over ice, this rescue craft is far from diverse without ...

How many times have you made a keg run for a frat party and forgot to grab a bin for the ice? Plenty I’m sure. No need to worry, though. This concept system called The Kegstand looks to change the hassle of setting up a party keg. You place the filled keg on a stand that has wheels, allowing for ...

Whether you own a hamster or not, there’s no doubt you wouldn’t mind rolling around in a motorized ball all day for shits and giggles. That’s why Evento developed the Buzzball especially for you. It sounds like a real pain in the ass to control though: Once the Buzzball is in motion the pod maintains an upright position until the ...

In Russia, you don’t mod car. Car mods you! This Alien car was created by some bored people in the frozen tundra of Krasnoyarsk, Russia. It looks like they created a mold to place on top of a car (that resembles a PT Cruiser) and then painstakingly painted it. Not only does it look downright beautiful, it’ll definitely keep thieves ...
