The Juicer 36 is fashioned like a stretch cruiser and the 48 is an homage to the board-track era. Retro styling aside, the stand-out feature for us has got to be the gorgeous battery/motor configuration, that's been arranged like cylinders of a V-twin engine. <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/juicer-old-timey-electric-bicycles/21045/">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/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/china-high-speed-train-311mph/20976/">Sword-inspired Chinese train hits 311 mph in testing</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/author/eric-mack/">Eric Mack</a></p> <p><em>16:48 January 1, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120112145935im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/china-high-speed-train-311mph/20976/#comments">22 Comments</a> </p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/china-high-speed-train-311mph/20976/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120112145935im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/train.jpg" title="China's latest experimental train is 200 km/h than bullet trains running in the country no..." alt="China's latest experimental train is 200 km/h than bullet trains running in the country no..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>China's state press agency, Xinhua, reports that the country's largest rail vehicle maker has debuted a six-car train more than twice as powerful and 200 km/h (124 mph) faster than the high-speed models currently in service between Beijing and Shanghai.

E-bikes can be quite expensive, however, plus their motors and batteries make them heavy and clunky when their electric-assist feature isn’t being used. That’s where the Ridekick ...well, where it kicks in. The motorized trailer quickly hooks onto an existing bicycle, pushing it to speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h), for a distance of about 12 miles (19 km) per charge. When you want your regular ol’ human-powered bike back, you just unhook it and go. <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/ridekick-motorized-bicycle-trailer/20953/">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/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/t3-power-sport-consumer-ev/20914/">T3 Motion to launch "Power Sport" consumer three-wheeled EV</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/author/paul-ridden/">Paul Ridden</a></p> <p><em>06:45 December 21, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120112145935im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/t3-power-sport-consumer-ev/20914/#comments">6 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120112145935im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/t3-power-sport-consumer-ev/20914/pictures">4 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/t3-power-sport-consumer-ev/20914/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120112145935im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/t3powersport.JPG" title="T3 Motion is set to launch the T3 Power Sport - a consumer version of its three-wheeled el..." alt="T3 Motion is set to launch the T3 Power Sport - a consumer version of its three-wheeled el..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Since its initial launch five years ago, the T3 Motion's stand-up electric three-wheeler has been snapped up by law enforcement, security and military concerns in nearly 30 countries.

It won't come with the frightening fire power of the T3 Non-Lethal Response Vehicle, but it will have a top speed of 12 mph, a range of up to 40 miles and will be available in a range of colors and custom paint job or logo options. <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/t3-power-sport-consumer-ev/20914/">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/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/bianchi-gucci-carbon-bike/20852/">Veteran Italian icons team up for luxury carbon bike</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/author/paul-ridden/">Paul Ridden</a></p> <p><em>08:41 December 14, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120112145935im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/bianchi-gucci-carbon-bike/20852/#comments">8 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120112145935im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/bianchi-gucci-carbon-bike/20852/picture/150989/">3 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/bianchi-gucci-carbon-bike/20852/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120112145935im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/bianchibygucci.jpg" title="Italian high fashion meets veteran bicycle engineering in the very expensive Bianchi by Gu..." alt="Italian high fashion meets veteran bicycle engineering in the very expensive Bianchi by Gu..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>When a cycling helmet is priced at nearly US$900, a pair of cycling gloves at over US$300 and a water bottle at US$105, it's a sure thing that the bike that goes with them is going to be really, really expensive.

The SRV 850 is Aprilia's performance version of the Gilera GP800, which was already the world's fastest and most powerful scooter. It is now a red-blooded Italian V-twin sports bike with a CVT (no gears) and the acceleration to smoke a Bugatti Veyron at legal speeds. With Honda's Integra due to be unveiled in Tokyo, and new entries from BMW, the superscooter class is burgeoning in response to the need for this new class of super commuter. <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/aprilia-worlds-fastest-scooter/20624/">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/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/intuitive-release-binding-system/20634/">New intuitive release binding system separates riders from their board</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>22:18 November 27, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120112145935im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/intuitive-release-binding-system/20634/picture/149041/">6 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/intuitive-release-binding-system/20634/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120112145935im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/irb_system.jpg" title="Prototype of the hook and release IRB system on a Motorcrossboard" alt="Prototype of the hook and release IRB system on a Motorcrossboard"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Andy Keel, the man behind the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120112145935/http://www.gizmag.com/2012-motocrossboards/19617/" target="_blank">Motorcrossboard</a>, has developed a new binding system to minimize the risk of injury for not only riders of his company’s vehicles, which he describes as essentially stand-on light motorcycles, but for participants in a range of boardsports.
