In the competitive world of sleek and wind splitting motorcycle design, aero-dynamic drag efficiency takes a back seat only to face stretching speed and performance.
This latest concept by NON-OBJECT called “nUCLEUS” throws out the current rule book and presents this “Square Against Air” electric motorcycle design.
nUCLEUS boasts a thin comfortable saddle and horse-like behavior that lowers itself when idle and raises when in motion.
The air defying side-view hides the fact that these pieces of metal are simply blades from the front.
It would be curious to see how this machine proves itself in a wind tunnel and stability at high speeds.

18-year-old Ben Gulak is the inventor of Uno. It took him several years but the result is stunning. Uno has 2 wheels positions next to each other making it look like a unicycle. It works like a Segway, tilt forward to go forward and back to slow down or stop. Ben says he was inspired when he had visited China and saw the pollution. Uno weighs 120 lbs, has a top speed of 25 mph and a range of about 2.5 hours. Ben is currently looking for investors to put the Uno into production.

How many bucks would you spend to watch a Jet and a bike make love? Not very many I guess, but you must be curious to see the result of this rather unfortunate procreation. Meet MonoTracer! The futuristic looking vehicle is actually a real-life working model and is being built and sold by Peraves.
Basically, MonoTracer is an advanced version of the normal bikes. A cabin mounted on a bike and the drag gets minimized to a great extent, making MonoTracer highly effective at achieving high speeds and greater levels of safety. The vehicle flies at a top speed of 250 kmph and can go from zero to hundred in 5.7 seconds. So time for the distressing factor now: the price. You must doll out $82,350 for a MonoTracer. But hey, the coolness associated with this one makes the buying decision a no-brainer.

can't decide between walking or bicycling? fear no more, because we have received a submission from a reader who has created a vehicle which does both.
the 'jump bike' is a custom built bicycle which has no pedals and instead is powered by running. the rider simple sits on the seat and begins to run, pushing the bike forward in the process. once they have reached the desired speed they jump onto the bike and sit.
