At Peugeot, they asked themselves what the two-door car of the future will be and their vision is the Peugeot Fractal, an urban electric coupe concept with a sliding roof and a 2 + 2 seating arrangement (that is, without the back bench). It is a study that upgrades the i-Cockpit driving environment, which came to life in the SR1 study in 2010 and emphasizes sound sensations, while at the same time introducing a special soundscape with which to warn pedestrians and cyclists, as it is practically inaudible due to the electric motor.
GinzVelo is a velomobile, i.e. a car-bike that goes as fast as a car. It is a tricycle with a closed cabin, which, in addition to the power of the rider, can also be powered by a 500-watt motor in the hub of the rear wheel, which is powered by a 48-watt battery. It is the child of inventor Peter Ginzburg, who himself calls it a human-electric hybrid vehicle (HEH Vehicle), and he is looking for customers through a Kickstarter campaign.
Jaguar: an emblem of English elegance and sophisticated steel curves for a hundred years, it is at the same time a concept of prestige and irresistible power, and until recently, also a price synonym for the rare and select. With the Jaguar XE model, the brand opens a new chapter in its history and causes gray hair for competitors of German premium brands.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabrio quickly earned the tag of the most beautiful and exclusive Mercedes S-Class ever, and there's no doubt why. The cabriolet was heavily inspired by the coupé version, except that it replaced the hardtop with a three-layer acoustically insulated soft-top, available in black, dark blue, beige and dark red. The top is empty in about twenty seconds, and the "cloths" can throw up to a speed of 60 km/h.
Are you wondering why you don't see road bikes like the fUCL in cycling races like the Tour de France? Due to the rigorous rules of the International Cycling Union (UCI), the umbrella body for the organization and classification of international cycling competitions, which also grants licenses to cyclists and adjudicates doping cases. Although the rules are set to ensure a level playing field for all cyclists, many believe they are holding back development. One such is the creative director of the Specialized brand, Robert Egger, who broke the rules with his latest concept and produced a futuristic road bike called 'Eff You See Eye', or fUCI, which frankly says (you can only guess once what it means ' f'), what does he think about the relationship.
Connoisseurs of battleships, when the name Dreadnought is mentioned, they will recall the homonymous battleship HMS Dreadnought from 1906, which represented a giant advance in the military technology of the Royal Navy at the time and surpassed all military vessels up to that time. Its successor and almost namesake is about to do the same, which its predecessor would be proud of, as it is based on the latest technology and will be made of extremely strong plastic and graphene, a form of carbon that is two hundred times stronger than steel and is considered the strongest, thinnest and the most flexible material in the world.
The Immortus electric vehicle is the world's first solar-powered vehicle that can be driven indefinitely, as it does not require recharging. It is the vision of the future of the Australian company EVX Ventures, which as an alternative to the sun offers a drive on electric HUB motors on the rear wheels, which is provided by a 10 kWh lithium-ion battery with a night range of 400 kilometers. The first prototype of the vehicle will be shown to the public for the first time through a puddle at the SEMA Show in November 2015.
Mars is not a mission to the planet Mars. Mars is a futuristic vessel and short for the Mayflower Autonomous Research Ship, which is poised to become the first vessel to cross the Atlantic Ocean unmanned. This is supposed to happen in 2020, when 400 years will pass since the Mayflower ship, full of English separatists (puritans), sailed to the New World (Plymouth Massachusetts) from Plymouth, England. Mars will also develop knots with the help of sails, and the trimaran, which has discarded its oars and crew in exchange for drones, will also be assisted by solar energy.
There is probably not one of you who does not know the animated cartoon Cars by the technical wizards Pixar, in which cars came to life and got human characteristics. Still, most of them probably didn't recognize or look for your face in their steel steeds the next time they met their car. But once you see the different car models and their animated version of the faces, you will never look at cars the same way again.
The Viks Carbon is not another city bike for covering fast distances that will get lost in the flood of similar bikes. The Viks Carbon by Velonia Bicycles, which is the carbon version of the Viks model, is intended for everyone who is looking for the best and boldest on the market. And with a bike with a Slovenian frame made by Berk Components, they will get that. It will be available in limited quantities.
On the market, electric bicycles are growing like mushrooms after the rain, so their price is steadily falling, and their popularity is increasing. But in order to be able to talk about the "e-epidemic" of e-bikes, the price - in addition to weight, the main minus of such bikes - will have to drop a bit. Even before that, customers have a great alternative - ONwheel. A device that turns a regular bike into an e-bike in seconds. The battery and 800-watt brushless electric motor weigh just over 800 grams, which makes ONwheel kill two birds with one stone - weight and price.
The three-day festival Urban Projekt, which will take place in the Novi Gore skate park from August 28 to 30, combines adrenaline sports (skate and BMX), music and art. The fifth edition of the festival, to which participants from our neighboring countries also come, this year also cooperates with the KUD Krea association from Novi Gori, which will provide additional cultural events.
