Dear Santa, Forget my previous list... I GOTTA have one of these!
Just think Segway of self powered skateboards. No pushing, pumping, or pedaling. Lean forward, it's moving forward. Lean back, and regenerative braking kicks in, slows you and if you stay leaned back, you will go back in the other direction

This personal transporter should be part of our “TOP 5 Personal Transporters” list. Start-up company Future Motion is pushing for a new kind of skateboard on Kickstarter. Onewheel has the most advanced motion sensing, hub motor and battery technology available–you just won’t see it. What you’ll experience is a board that feels magical whether for fun, waiting for the surf to come up, or getting around town.
Their homepage is at http://rideonewheel.com/
They have a Kickstarter campaign to secure funding to build at least 100 units. Pledges get interesting at the US$1,299 mark, for which Future Motion is offering the first 20 Onewheels
The Kickstarter page is over at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/4422853/onewheel-the-self-balancing-electric-skateboard and consider that the Kickstarter cost of buying one is about 30% off the retail, maybe more, because like the Ford GT 40, these aren't going to sit in stores at MSRP, they are going to get run up for profit if current social trends have anything to do with it, bought and flipped for profit like so many gotta have it things. If they only would trade for a kidney or first born!

Yes, it's cool stuff like this that makes me wish I cold get to CES
The Turn Signal Side Mirror inventor, patent #4,821,019 belonging to Keith Taylor... he invented but couldn't profit from the coolest new car gadget since cupholders
He went with a supplier that went belly up, as they were losers who couldn't capitalize on such an awesome invention, and a couple years later, Mercedes nailed it. I feel for you Keith.. all I can do is help spread the good word of the truth.

bicycle parts and time on his hands, and this incredible clock was the result
Toon Boumans made this pendulum clock bike from a bike and miscellaneous bike parts, displayed at the Kerkrade Maker Faire
I have never seen such a piece of craftmanship before. He lives in a small village with a special collection of 48 bikes, collected over more than 50 years.

Fokker invented the gearing that prevented WW1 fighter planes from shooting their propeller to pieces.
simplified for simple and easy tracking of the process

where was the painted center line on highways invented first? The Upper Peninsula of Michigan
Detail photos of Rafik's bike, the RK "S"
Rafik has a new website design as well, and it's damn sweet to navigate and look through. http://wp.rkconcepts.com/
RK Concepts, the coolest bikes I've seen... the ones that created the buzz at SEMA this year, and they weren't even inside the buildings, but should have been... they would have created total foot traffic stoppages, no doubt about it
Innovator is going to try to revolutionize biking in poor countries, with a recycled cardboard bike
Once ready for production, the bicycle will include no metal parts, even the brake mechanism and the wheel and pedal bearings will be made of recycled substances, although Gafni said he could not yet reveal those details due to pending patent issues.
cardboard and other recycled materials could bring a major change in current production norms because grants and rebates would only be given for local production and there would be no financial benefits by making bicycles in cheap labor markets.
"This is a real game-changer. It changes ... the way products are manufactured and shipped, it causes factories to be built everywhere instead of moving production to cheaper labor markets, everything that we have known in the production world can change," he said.
Elmish said the cardboard bikes would be made on largely automated production lines and would be supplemented by a workforce comprising pensioners and the disabled.
Elmish said the business model they had created meant that rebates for using "green" materials would entirely cancel out production costs and this could allow for bicycles to be given away for free in poor countries.
Producers would reap financial rewards from advertisements such as from multinational companies who would pay for their logo to be part of the frame, he explained.
"Because you get a lot of government grants, it brings down the production costs to zero, so the bicycles can be given away for free. We are copying a business model from the high-tech world where software is distributed free because it includes embedded advertising," Elmish explained.
