LED Turn Signal Gloves for Both Cyclists and Motorists

TheFuture — Thu, 02 May 2013 15:01:04 +0000

LED Turn Signal Gloves are great safety equipment for cyclists and motorists. We share the road with other vehicles, thus, informing them about our direction is one of crucial action to avoid accident. Cyclists usually use their arms to signal of an upcoming turn, however, this action sometimes can’t get the attention from other drivers. Using these gloves, the LED will inform others better about the direction you’re headed.

How to turn the LED on? Checkout the 3rd image, you’ll see there’s a small button near the thumb, simply press this button to trigger the LED, you can also choose to make the LED continuously flash for better nighttime visibility.

MZ Revival Motorcycle was a group project of 5 designers from DSK International School of Design, Pune (India), they teamed up to work on different aspects, from design, modeling, details to prototyping. This motorbike features organic design language as you can see in every element. The main goal was to design a vehicle that inspires the future design language of the German brand MZ. Which was later extended to prototype each part of this motorbike in such a way that the entire RPT can be assembled without using any tapes or screws and of course, it has to be easy to dismantle as well.

Hephaestus Motorcycle by Bandit9

TheFuture — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:11:45 +0000

Hephaestus is the latest creation by Daryl Villanueva and his band of pirates at Beijing-based garage, Bandit9. They named the bike, Hephaestus, in honor of the Greek God of blacksmiths, craftsmen, sculptors and artisans.

An evolution of the 1988 Honda Bros 400, Bandit9 shed the bike’s original plastic exterior and refitted it with a more modern aesthetic; sporting an armor-like exoskeleton forged from steel. There’s nothing soft about the bike, except for maybe hand stitched black leather seat. The tank, gas cap, cowl, side covers and fender were all handcrafted from stainless steel.

The tank was designed to have a mid-line bevel that carries through to the cowl and the fender. The side-covers with a dotted grill pattern were crafted from sheet metal. The handlebars were replaced with clip-ons designed by Bandit9. The rear lights function both as turn signals and brakes. When you signal to turn, the corresponding light flashes. However, both rear lights flash red when you hit the brakes.

Designer : Bandit9 [Bandit9Bikes Facebook]

There were characteristics of the original Honda Bros that Bandit9 kept. The diagonal cross bar made of an aluminum alloy guided the overall design. The exhausts were shortened to expose the original single swing arm; making the rear wheel appear to float.

This year, as Bandit9 grows, the shop will expand their craft beyond the Chang Jiang. In Beijing, it’s “all systems go” for Bandit9, as they plan to increase their output and build more international custom motorcycles throughout the year. Hephaestus is just their first step.

Special thanks to Sofia and Niamh. Hephaestus motorcycle would not be possible without their dedication and contribution.

Paraton-e Futuristic Vehicle Blurs The Line Between a Car and a Motorcycle

TheFuture — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 15:10:23 +0000

Paraton-e futuristic concept vehicle aims to amalgamate sustainable thinking with new material technologies to produce a vehicle that effectively fills the gap between car and motorcycle. Issues surrounding the sustainability of recurring urban commutes and increasing traffic congestion have been addressed. As such, this vehicle was conceived to be an ecologically sensitive solution that simultaneously responds to the high comfort demands of a downsizing car owner demographic. Reinforced shape memory polymers enable a flexible footprint and cabin space to actively transform the vehicle whilst in motion.

The user can choose between a configuration that leans and negotiates traffic like a motorcycle, or features a reclined seating position and broad footprint to deliver a stable and assisted driving experience suitable for higher speeds. The variable width of the vehicle also allows for parking in public spaces including footpaths

Diavel Strada motorcycle was born out of Ducati designers’ wish-list to design a “basic instincts” bike. Sketches were made which became the foundation of lower and longer motorcycle design, the challenge was to build a muscular motor that features delicate touch.

TheFuture — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 11:25:11 +0000

Futuristic TriMove motorbike is a three-wheel concept vehicle that utilizes electromechanical technology to support any complex movement in any part of its body and wheel. As you can see here, the three wheels are arranged in triangle shape to keep the balance while not on-the-move. Its 3 disc braking system means it requires less braking space. Equipped with 2 LCD display, driver can easily see any information about the bike such as current speed, battery life and time.

There are many 3-wheelers out there which offer weird and bad design with many exposed elements, some even difficult to lean into corners. TriMove motorbike features narrow body that provides agility and aerodynamic styling you would expect from a fierce motorbike.
