Bike and Jump Across Water With The AquaSkipper

Posted by Action Isle – April 30, 2008

The AquaSkipper isn't exactly a bike. The AquaSkipper steers like a bike, but instead of pedaling to move forward, the rider jumps up and down.

AquaSkipper

The frame of the AquaSkipper is made of light aircraft aluminum. The whole thing only weighs 26 lbs, and can be assembled and disassembled easily.

What keeps the bike floating? The hydrofoil blades underneath the AquaSkipper keep it above water, while the rider jumping up and down propels it across the water.

The AquaSkipper is faster than other human powered watercraft. It can go as fast as 17 mph.

Global Warming Inspired Amphibious Bike

Posted by Action Isle – April 29, 2008

Meet the Bike-Yak. It's a combination of a Kayak and a Bike, and it's made entirely from parts saved from a landfill. If global warming causes a 10 foot increase in sea level, serious flooding would occur in low lying areas.

The Bike-Yak could be one possible mode of transportation for areas that may become flooded due to global warming.

SQRL Skatebike: A Three Wheeled Unicycle

Posted by Action Isle – April 24, 2008

The SQRL (called "Squirrel") Skatebike is basically like a unicycle, except it has two wheels added to the front. The Skatebike has a grab bar in the front to help with balance and steering. To steer the Skatebike, just lean to either side.

StreetSurfer: Improving The Bicycle

Posted by Action Isle – April 24, 2008

The bicycle has been around for a long time, without an amazing amount of change made to the design. The StreetSurfer takes the old design of the bicycle and adds something completely new to the mix. Instead of having only two wheels, the StreetSurfer has five, with the usual one wheel in the back, but four in the front.

StreetSurfer

The four wheels in the front of the StreetSurfer operate independently from eachother and provide enhanced stability, traction, and the bike's excellent suspension system gives a smooth ride.

Instead of turning the handlebars to steer the bike, the StreetSurfer is steered by leaning to either side.

Homemade Electric Skateboard

Posted by Action Isle – April 17, 2008

Here's a video of a guy explaining how he made his homemade electric skateboard. Doesn't sound too complicated. He made it in the 80's and it STILL works.

The motor he has on his homemade electric skateboard is a blower motor from a car that is powered by a lawnmower battery.

Check it out.
