Most electric bikes are sordid affairs, just more than an ordinary bicycle with a strap-on battery pack, a motorized hub and regenerative braking capabilities. But this HMK 561 electric bicycle concept took home an iF Design Award for some seriously forward thinking.

HMK 561 electric bicycle is not only the stylish forward rake of this juiced cruiser that is innovative, it is the frame composed completely of a conductive carbon fiber weave which allows the bike’s body to not just pass electricity to the motors, but store it like a giant capacitor.

Factor in integrated lights and a pinch of that regenerative braking at each axle and you will just get the bicycle of your dream.

As we want to see environmentally friendly concepts to increase their presence in the future, we are ready to see a hyper rise in concepts that makes sure to minimize our carbon footprint.  A fourth-year student of vehicle engineering, Zhilei Chen at Wuhan University of Technology has developed the “Fracircle” concept in which the architectural framework has applied in automotive design.

An independent suspension cockpit used in Fracircle that buys its shape from the crystal clear water drop, gives a fresh and close to nature appeal to the concept. Fracircle’s unique ability to absorb solar energy, vibrational energy and wind energy as its power source makes the Fracircle categorically interesting to us.

The concept hinting toward the emission reduction and maximum energy-saving is purely a design study at this point, but I wish it can give competition to the best production road cars. Good luck Chen!

If you are looking for something to improve present transportation’s competence then your search has been completed here as there is a new concept of  water vehicle designed by Jacky Wu.

The Odyssey Water Vehicle is an eco-friendly concept vehicle in which a battery-powered electric motor is used to power its propeller through water. It combines a unique design with great choice of material that creates a special and sophisticated setting around the vehicle.

The batteries of this vehicle can be recharged by connecting the craft to a power source or by activating the wind turbine sails. The vehicle uses a catamaran-style hull to reduce the power needs and to discourage drag.

Want to be the next pimp to drive this Hummer H2? Hummer gets a chrome treatment by German tuner CFC. From Weilheim Germany, tuner CFC has trimmed its massive SUV with a chrome lamination. The side windows with the rear window, were furnished with a classic-style colour and the hood is covered with a black carbon finish.

DVD player
Xbox game console

I am not able to buy Honda’s sci-fi-styled 3R-C electric three-wheeler but still think I don’t need to be worry as I will be able to get behind the wheel of ZMP’s new RoboCar G soon. If you are a researcher interested in working on next-generation vehicles then you are also able to get this year.

This ZMP’s new RoboCar G car is a aone-seater electric vehicle (EV) developed by the Next-gen EV Study Group at Gunma University and that will be available on a limited basis starting in November 2010.  The vehicle will be able to be equipped with a whole range of sensors that will either help the driver or let it be operated as a computer-controlled “robot vehicle.”

No word is available on its price but its price will be determined based on the types and the number of mounted sensors.

At General Motors, those folks holding the reins are really a funny bunch. They launch some grand scheme to enter Europe’s competitive luxury automotive market with their Cadillac brand.

After GM’s latest fiasco with Kroymans, a Dutch distributor before declaring bankruptcy last year, sold Cadillacs in Europe the U.S. automaker will now open its own company, called “Cadillac Europe” that will import, distribute and market a selected range of models specified for the European market.

Cadillac general manager, Bryan Nesbitt says that “Europe is an important market for Cadillac and re-establishing distribution of our premium offerings is good news for those who seek import exclusiveness”

This is correct that most of the Europeans have associated Cadillac’s “import exclusiveness” with products like the now discontinued BLS that was a re-skined Saab 9-3 which in turn was heavily based on the Opel Vectra.

Cadillac will definitely give Europeans a taste of their latest products including the CTS Coupe at the Geneva Motor Show, that is going to arrive in North American showrooms this summer and this fall in Europe and the new CTS Sport Sedan, CTS Sport Wagon, the range-topping 556HP CTS-V, the SRX crossover and the “oh so European” Escalade Hybrid.

Nothing can say right now on any diesel or displacement gasoline engines. But we can say that Cadillacs will continue to be a more rare sight on European roads.

If you look at one-off creations then you may wonder why they made only the one or you may thank your stars they are not moving the streets in packs. Whatever it is, you come down on with only one example- the DC Design Rolls-Royce coupe is now up for sale.

If you look at this “Black Ruby” Rolls-Royce coupe then you would be forced to dwell on, if the creator has brought his dream to reality. It was originally created by the Indian-based designing company for a Maharajah for his private collection and and has been spotted as far away as London.

This Rolls Royce-based model that comes complete with Ferrari Enzo-style doors was touched Dilip Chhabria, by the Indian coachbuilder before it was nicknamed “The Black Ruby.” It combines the grille of a Rolls-Royce with the shape of a Nissan Z, packing exotic-style scissor doors as well as the spirit of the Maybach Exelero.

It is now available for purchase by a London-based company for the low-low price of about $1.2 million or £750,000.

So, if you find this creation a direct extension of your own personality, just grab this One-off Million-Dollar “Black Ruby” Rolls-Royce.

In this normal world, my kind of people can only dream of getting a supercar because owing a too much expensive 10 Aston Martin One-77 supercar has its obstacles.

But according to a report, a Middle Eastern buyer has decided to purchase 10 limited edition Aston Martin One-77 supercar for his family at the 1.7 million price tag. One-77 supercar is limited to just 77 units of these exotic beasts, but owning 10 would mean $23 million. This supercar is made using a carbon fiber monocoque just like the McLaren MP4-12C or Lexus LFA, to keep the weight at an absolute minimum, just 3,300 lbs and the road-burning power comes from a 7.3-liter V12 making 750-hp with a top speed at 220 mph.

So, if you have not any financial problem, then I think you should also start thinking about that.

As the $1.5M Russian SUV with whale penis leather failed to adorn its interiors, so an amazing armored car was to create to keep up with the continued adventures of the world’s most expensive SUV.

With Riviera Premium Service, DARTZ has signed a contract and now this super strong and super fast Russian Tank can meet you at a nice airport and deliver anywhere you want.

So, if you find the world’s most expensive SUV, minus the whale-penis leather interiors and if you are visiting any cities of the French Riviera then you can rent a DARTZ at Cote d’Azur. It is in limited edition. There are various color options to choose from, including your choice of color if you book an order a week before.

You must know about London Fashion Week where Fashion for Relief Charity apace Week proves that fashion goes beyond beautiful faces and gorgeous bodies.
