The Air One is a practical two-person eVTOL aircraft that could one day serve as an air taxi transporting passengers between cities. Unlike the others, this one has collapsible wings, which means it can be stored in some home garages.
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.
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.

Let’s face it, Tesla vehicles are great, but you can’t drive them on sidewalks nor on trails. What if Elon Musk were to develop an all-electric bicycle? Introducing the Tesla Model B. Not only is it environmentally friendly, easy to park, and low cost to run, it has an autopilot function as well. That’s right, it comes equipped with ultrasonic sensors as well as LiDAR that detect other bikes, cars, potholes, bumps, etc., so you can ride hands-free without having to worry.
Segway-Ninebot has unveiled their latest creation, and it’s a smart electric bike, called the eMoped C80. It comes equipped with a 24Ah battery, which is good for 52.8 miles on a single charge, and can be removed easily to make charging a breeze. The bike’s body panels are made up of 100% eco-friendly PP plastics, showcasing its raw material and color without sacrificing eco-friendliness.
