GrassHopper The Folding Recumbent Bike

Now you can have a great ride at a small package. Within 60 seconds, the fully suspended GrassHopper touring recumbent can be folded down to 96 x 60 x 70 cm. In the heart of the stiff aluminum unisize frame there is a robust folding hinge with an integrated security bolt for double safety. The rider can relax and lean back in the ergonomic seat shell made from fibreglass or alternatively in to new mesh net seat for optimum breathability. The pedals are significantly higher that the seat height of 54 cm, leading to a fast and ergonomic riding position. Solid racks for 50 kgs load are available as accessories.

Plants Fall Over When Thirsty

Just like people, plants fall over when they begin to die from thirst but unlike people, plants can’t verbally communicate when they need watering. That’s where the Roly-Poly Pot comes in. Using water a a counterweight, the pot slowly tips over when water levels are low. The cool thing is each pot can be adjusted to work with any plant’s watering needs. Neat idea but still a concept for now.

Plants Tell You What They Want

Growing plants would be a lot easier if plants could express what it is they need from you. Fret not because that’s what the Pet Plant by Junyi Heo does. The very sleek looking pot measures soil conditions, temperature, humidity, and water - calculates those variables based on the need of said plant, and expresses its condition via a series of pictograms on an LCD display.

It’s also smart enough to know if you’ve over watered and will systematically drain itself into a water vessel. All this high tech goodness does mean it needs power but a simple USB interface does double duty by charging and transmitting pertinent information to and from computer software.

Lumeneo Smera Electric Compact Car Concept

One of the approaches to making a highly efficient electric car is to basically add a body and other car-like amenities to an electric scooter. You end up with something like the ultra-thin Smera concept from Lumeneo which looks more like a 4-wheeled motorcycle than a traditional automobile. At 8 feet long and just over 31 inches wide the Smera can only accommodate a single passenger with limited luggage, but it can reach a top speed of 80mph and will run for about 93 miles on a single charge.

Both of the front wheels on the Smera have their own 20hp electric motor which have a life expectancy of around 200,000 km. Those electric motors, as well as the rest of the vehicle, are all powered by a 144 volt lithium ion battery which weighs in at 180lbs. At the moment the Smera pictured above is just a concept, but the company hopes to have them ready for sale at the Paris Motor Show in October of this year for about $30,000 to $46,000. Good luck with that.

Build Your Own LEGO Scanner

We love LEGOs and while we’re partial to the Mindstorms set, Anders Søborg has built and programmed his own NXT scanner comprised mostly of these bricks. For those not familiar with NXT scanners, they’re a “standalone” scanner that can scan and save images as BMP-files. The images scanned can be saved in either 24-bit true color, 8-bit color or gray scale.

Although the device isn’t faster than any other scanner on the market (it’s quite slow actually), cut it some slack: it’s made out of toy blocks. Anders was also nice enough to include DIY instructions on making your own, complete with programming instructions and all, on his website.

Real Lego Guitar Rocks The Bricks

This is no fake jive ass git. This black Lego Guitar is a functioning instrument with the entire case made out of our favorite childhood toy. Jam out with your friends, and if a piece of the guitar falls off, just snap it back together.

Including pick-ups, bridge, and all of the functioning parts, all this baby needs is some strings. And judging from the comments on the source page, Viagra users just love it.

Surf Chair: Laziness to the Max

As part of the Scandinavian Furniture Fair, Kenneth Lylover entered his Surf Chair into the Internet Collection competition. It won “Best Product” and it’s easy to see why. This semi-circle-shaped chair comes with a built-in LCD on the front and a padded frame to allow for the most comfortable Internet browsing experience possible.

With a mouse and keyboard included, the only reason you’ll ever need to leave your inner circle is for chips and Mountain Dew. Using the bathroom? Ha! That’s for wimps. I shit my pants at least four times during a round of Snood.

Where The Hell Am I Going To Put This Thing

Straight out of the Beetlejuice film comes Dust Furniture, an acid-trip take on real furniture except for one thing: you can’t put books on it. Well, certain shelves seem straight but if you check out the gallery there are tons of these designs which aren’t practical shelving space. That’s alright though, as Dust Furniture is completely for show. Having guests for dinner who do nothing but comment on your curvy furniture? Dose them with acid - the shelves will straighten themselves.

Origami V12 Engine

Montreal native Yee is crazy for origami. Offering DIY kits on his site, you too can create an origami V12 paper engine that pumps just like the real thing (with the help of electrical wires, a resistor, a motor and a battery holder). Damn shame it can’t power a car with pencil shavings. Well, there’s always the next millennia.

BMW Gina Is Not Flame-Retardant

BMW’s new concept car ‘GINA Light Visionary Model’ is remarkably innovative. It’s a shape-shifting car covered with seamless fabric stretched over a movable metal frame that allowing the driver to change the car’s form at will. The fabric is water resistant and durable. However, setting fire to it is a different story.

There are no plans for the fabric-enveloped car to hit production lines:

“It is in the nature of such visions that they do not necessarily claim to be suitable for series production,” company officials said in unveiling the car Tuesday. “Rather, they are intended to steer creativity and research into new directions.”

Perhaps this concept will inspire more alternative eco-friendly automobiles to hit production lines in the next few years. We’re all hoping that in the event of a crash, automobiles like Gina won’t leave you in a mangled heap of charred flesh and fragmented bones.

WashUP Combines Washer And Toilet

The WashUP device uses the washer’s discarded water as the water for the toilet. Very clever as who needs clean water for flushing?

One Man Tied: The cable hook that makes you look twice

Feeling a little masochistic? Well don’t go beat your kids just yet. Here’s a safer alternative to unleash some of that built up violence. One Man Tied is a unique cable tidy hook that not only helps organize your cables, but leaves you with the satisfaction of a fresh torture, without the guilt.

This 4″ tall poor little man is available in both orange and white (although awkwardly shown as red on the product’s page). As you tidy up your cables, you’ll start to realize why the One Man Tied looks to be in such agony. But, look at it this way. No need to hit your kids, no screaming wife, no pleas for mercy, and most importantly, no need to create excuses when you bring your kid into the hospital with a fractured skull. Hell, no more hospital bills! Well worth the $12 for violent child beaters.

One Man Stuck: Wine Stopping With A Penis LOLZ

What is it with torture that makes the “One Man” series of gadgets so alluring. One Man Tied was a bondage-themed cable organizer, and now we have the penial wine stopper, One Man Stuck.

I can’t help but be slightly jealous of this man’s extremely large member. Here I am with barely a portabella mushroom, and there he is with an extension that’s larger than his whole body. What an asshole

One Man Shy And His Ever Changing Penis Size (^o^)

The One Man series of gadgets is a favorite of ours, but wow, the things time can change. Not so long ago we talked about One Man Stuck, which featured One Man (also known as Mr. P) with a penis large enough to act as a wine cork (pretty huge for his size in relation), yet One Mac Shy has to cover his head in shame because of his dinky winky.

His small (ahem) lamp switch most have either of had a catastrophic accident, or wine bottles make him extremely aroused. Get your own One Man Shy for $99

Walking Bike ^^

The Walking Bike from Max Knight uses specially modded wheels which have 8 sneakers attached instead of a typical treaded tire. Not only does The Walking Bike look pretty daft, but it is actually rideable.

One Wheeled Motorcycle

The Uno is an interesting mode of transport - it is a one wheeled-looking motorcycle, although I think theres two wheels side-by-side.

Icecream Lights Yummy.....

The new energy saving light bulbs on the market are pretty ugly in my opinion. With these cone shaped light sockets you could make your home look a bit sweeter.

Anti-Theft Stickers For Your Car or Bike

Dominic Wilcox is both a great graphic designer and a cheeky bastard. He’s come up with these realistic-looking rust stickers that go on your car or bicycle. Dominic figures that, because your bike looks like shit, no one is going to steal it. Fair enough.

You can grab a set for $8 but remember, no guarantees!

The Most Absurd Remote Ever Made

Don’t get me wrong, I love a remote that has convenient features, but I also like a remote that’s compact. Unfortunately, the Pultius Remote from Art Lebedev falls a little short in that category.

The remote features 99 individual channel buttons and three additional buttons for adding 100, 200, or 300 to the original number. All in all, the user has access to 399 channels with a maximum of two button presses. Think of all the time you will save when you don’t have to hit three individual buttons when calling on the higher channels. Not to mention the fact that you could probably wield it like a bat to defend yourself against intruders. The damn thing is 20″ long.
