Riding a modified Stealth Bomber e-bike, which had its battery packs charged by a wind turbine sitting atop a Mini Moke running on green fuel, Allan Lear managed to pedal an amazing 1,629 km (1,012 miles) through Australia's outback - he is now waiting for the achievement to be verified by Guinness as a World Record. <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/distance-record-electric-bike/20005/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/honda-integra-700-twin-cylinder-superscooter/19945/">Honda announces next generation motorcycle engines with outstanding fuel economy and useability</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/author/mike-hanlon/">Mike Hanlon</a></p> <p><em>06:26 September 26, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006094246im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/honda-integra-700-twin-cylinder-superscooter/19945/#comments">12 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006094246im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/honda-integra-700-twin-cylinder-superscooter/19945/picture/143394/">61 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/honda-integra-700-twin-cylinder-superscooter/19945/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006094246im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/honda-integra-700-twin-cylinder-superscooter.jpg" title="Honda announces next generation motorcycle engines with outstanding fuel economy and useab..." alt="Honda announces next generation motorcycle engines with outstanding fuel economy and useab..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>In a raft of announcements, Honda has developed a highly fuel-efficient, very torquey 700cc twin cylinder engine with a second-generation Dual Clutch Transmission which it will show in three different motorcycle designs at the EICMA 2011 International Motorcycle Exhibition in November in Milan, Italy. The motor will also be paired with a manual six-speed transmission in at least one of those bikes and as it delivers better than 3.7 l/100km and its motor is designed for on-road usability, it is almost certainly the first bike designed for western markets to take advantage of the world's coming gas crisis. Also on display will be Honda's new 125 engine which will be used in its 125cc scooters around the world starting next year and contains an idle-stop system and delivers 25% better fuel economy than current generation scooter engines. Both the 700cc and 125cc engines contain considerable technological wizardry to achieve their goals. <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/honda-integra-700-twin-cylinder-superscooter/19945/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/artist-creates-sound-tank/19918/">Auditory artist creates a 'sound tank'</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>10:51 September 22, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006094246im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/artist-creates-sound-tank/19918/#comments">5 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006094246im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/artist-creates-sound-tank/19918/picture/143250/">3 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/artist-creates-sound-tank/19918/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006094246im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/soundtank.jpg" title="Artist Nik Nowak has converted a Japanese mini-dumper into a 'sound tank' that pumps out 4..." alt="Artist Nik Nowak has converted a Japanese mini-dumper into a 'sound tank' that pumps out 4..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Do you like car stereos with good, thumping bass?

To help overcome such issues, a research team in the Netherlands has reported promising results from an audio-only navigation system that uses an Android smartphone connected to a pair of headphones to help guide users to a target location with music that's artificially shifted to the left or right to indicate direction. <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/music-guided-gps-navigation-cyclists/19789/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/hase-bikes-klimax-faired-trike/19732/">Hase Bikes' KLIMAX tricycle converts into a velomobile</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>23:55 September 5, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006094246im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/hase-bikes-klimax-faired-trike/19732/#comments">8 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006094246im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/hase-bikes-klimax-faired-trike/19732/picture/141699/">22 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/hase-bikes-klimax-faired-trike/19732/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006094246im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/klimax.jpg" title="Hase Bikes' KLIMAX tricycle features a detachable folding fairing, allowing users to add w..." alt="Hase Bikes' KLIMAX tricycle features a detachable folding fairing, allowing users to add w..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>While there are those of us who are strangely attracted to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/velomobile/" target="_blank">velomobiles</a> – recumbent tricycles with full aerodynamic fairings – the idiosyncratic vehicles certainly have their drawbacks. Among these are the fact that the fairing, which is usually a hard shell, adds weight and traps heat inside with the rider. It also contributes to the sky-high price of the trikes, which can reach around US$15,000. Hase Bikes has taken an interesting approach with its KLIMAX 2K recumbent tricycle by using a weatherproof fabric fairing, that folds down and comes off when not wanted. <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/hase-bikes-klimax-faired-trike/19732/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/roamboard-stand-up-transportation-solution-launched/19676/">LiquidRoam RoamBoards ready for sale</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/author/paul-ridden/">Paul Ridden</a></p> <p><em>13:00 August 31, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006094246im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/roamboard-stand-up-transportation-solution-launched/19676/#comments">7 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006094246im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/roamboard-stand-up-transportation-solution-launched/19676/picture/141159/">7 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/roamboard-stand-up-transportation-solution-launched/19676/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006094246im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/roamboard.jpg" title="LiquidRoam has announced that the first early adopter RoamBoards - which feature technolog..." alt="LiquidRoam has announced that the first early adopter RoamBoards - which feature technolog..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Motorized one-, two- and three-wheeled personal transport innovations like the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/solowheel-gyro-stabilized-electric-unicycle/17900/" target="_blank">Solowheel</a> and the cheap and cheerful <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/sub-600-dollar-pv-electric-trike/19432/" target="_blank">Solaron</a> certainly look like a fun way to get around, but if it's four-wheeled action you're looking for then the new RoamBoard is definitely worth a look.

(PCI) described as a cross between a snowboard and a dirtbike. At that time the company had intended a limited release of the 2011 MXB Shocker with prices starting at US$2,999 but in the wake of widespread media interest the Motocrossboard’s inventor and PCI CEO, Andy Keel, decided against taking orders, choosing instead to focus on further product development and design. The extra R & D has resulted in a lighter and cheaper 2012 MXB Shocker that is now ready for sale alongside three new models. <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/2012-motocrossboards/19617/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/budnitz-titanium-bikes/19612/">The utterly desirable Budnitz Titanium bikes</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/author/paul-ridden/">Paul Ridden</a></p> <p><em>16:48 August 24, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006094246im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/budnitz-titanium-bikes/19612/#comments">15 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006094246im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/budnitz-titanium-bikes/19612/picture/140598/">13 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006094246/http://www.gizmag.com/budnitz-titanium-bikes/19612/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006094246im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/budnitz.jpg" title="Paul Budnitz has developed two Titanium-framed luxury bikes that feature a cyclist's wish ..." alt="Paul Budnitz has developed two Titanium-framed luxury bikes that feature a cyclist's wish ..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>If you're looking to invest in a high-end, all-purpose bicycle that will last a lifetime, then feast your eyes on the beautiful lines of the No1 and No2 luxury bikes built by Paul Budnitz.
