Always one to push personal transportation to the limit, this is a video of engineer James Bruton (seen previously constructing a personal AT-AT walker) building an omni-directional bike that sits on two giant balls. It works beautifully. And speaking of giant balls– “Elephants?” NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES. Up to 2,200-pounds!
Because you don’t know until you try, this is a video of the unorthodox mechanics of Garage 54 building an engine out of 50 cordless drills and using it to power a car. Does it work? Yes. Is it practical? Also yes. Talk about a disruptive technology! The automotive industry
This is a video of Youtuber Frankie Lapenna riding what he touts as “the least likely to be stolen electric bike of all time,” an e-bike that looks like an assembly of high voltage electrical boxes when not in use. The bike lowers itself down on its wheels when parked
This is a video of YouTubers Make It Extreme constructing and testing a giant electric monowheel cycle. From the test footage at the end, it looks like you have to keep your feet down the entire time for safety, and it definitely doesn’t turn on a dime. Or even a

Because everybody uses their spare time differently (I have no spare time), this is a video of Youtuber Chris Makes Stuff constructing a hubless, electric penny farthing bike. The hubless design is cool, but the motorization is a must — pedaling is one of my least favorite part of riding
This is a video of a new Tesla Cybertruck attempting to navigate part of an off-road trail at the Hollister Hills Offroad Recreation Area in California. It does not do great, and almost fishtails its rear end off the course at one point. Of course I’m not sure how many
