Altitude LightLane for Bicycles
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Transportation
Altitude’s Alex Tee and Evan Gant created a prototype of LightLane for a design competition to promote bicycle commuting. Their thought was that the bike lane should adapt to the cyclist as opposed to visa versa. The reaction was so positive that, although it did not win, it is becoming a reality nonetheless. The device attaches to the back of the bike and has both bright red LEDs and DPSS green lasers. It comes with a universal attachment bracket and phone charger.

Elmoto Electric Bicycle
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Transportation
Help out the little guy and help save the planet at the same time. A couple of German engineers got together to develop the Elmoto, an electric bicycle powered by a 2KW engine. The bike can go for 40 miles on a single lithium-ion battery charge that will only cost about seventy cents. Weighing only 45kg, the aluminum framed vehicle retails for $5,700.00. Because the Elmoto was made with no outside help or funding, the developers are trying to sell 100 globally by the end of this year and mass produce in 2010.

Podio MP3 Handlebar Speakers
Posted by Jenny Lewis Categories: Music, Portable Audio / Video, Transportation
For safety’s sake, bicycles and headphones don’t mix. The biggest problem with that is that a long bike ride can be marred by a lack of musical accompaniment! Luckily for you distance trekkers, 2-wheeled commuters and leisurely weekend riders, Podio has you covered. It’s a 2 GB MP3 player with an integrated speaker and an included handlebar bracket. Weighing in at a teeny 5 ounces, the Podio can easily be tossed in a pocket or worn around your neck for a walk, and with the built in headphone jack you’re not even limited to using the speaker.

Cycling Speed -Vest
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Clothing, Design, Transportation
The Speed-Vest is considered by its designers mykle Systems Lab as a cycling “safety device and advocacy tool.” It displays the user’s current speed in bright lights for about 6 hours with a AA battery. The clothing recently won a local contest in Minneapolis. We see a couple of things wrong here, no offense. First off, how distracting would that be to drivers behind? And second, it wouldn’t do much good if the cyclist didn’t know how fast he/she was going. We think this traveling sign needs a bit more work before hitting major markets.
