Bull-e Electric Scooter
Nikos Manafis of Athens-based Nikos Manafis Design has seen all of the electric scooters on the market, and most either focus on either style or function. The “Bull-e” combines the best of both worlds, and in cafe racer fashion. This isn’t just a concept render, but a real prototype built on an existing rolling chassis from a scooter available on the market today. Unlike other electric scooters, this one actually has retractable cup holders.

Autonomous Self-Driving Bicycle Tianjic Chip
Researchers from Tsinghua University have developed an autonomous self-driving bicycle that can even maneuver itself around and over obstacles. How? It’s powered by a Tianjic chip, which integrates two approaches to provide a hybrid, synergistic platform. In other words, it uses a multi-core architecture, reconfigurable building blocks and a streamlined dataflow with hybrid coding schemes that not only accommodates computer-science-based machine-learning algorithms, but also easily implement brain-inspired circuits and several coding schemes.
