With more than 6 million small businesses in the U.S., it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there isn’t room for one more. It’s almost guaranteed that there will be competition, and in an industry like fleet transportation, going head-to-head with other small companies, never mind the “big guys,” you might think that you don’t have any […]

The exterior of the Draper features black corrugated metal with a hint of red wood. Much like its sister design, the Drake, this RV has a unique, slanted shape that creates a sense of movement even when it is not in motion. The elevated volume not only gives the tiny home a bold presence and more interior space, but it […]

It was just last year that we heard about the Plimp, a sort of plane/blimp/helicopter hybrid drone manufactured by Egan Airships. As was hinted at then, the Seattle-based company has now officially announced that it’s working on a passenger-carrying variant known as the Model J. First of all, just how does the original Plimp drone work? Well, it’s basically a […]

Screecher – out of Yarmouth, Maine – describes its four-wheel drive, two seat, solar-powered, folding pedalcycle as fun, affordable, practical and Earth-friendly. Riders can zip up to 15 mph on motor power alone, or choose from five levels of pedal assist. The onboard battery can be plugged in for a top up, or users can park up in a sunny […]

One eco-resort in beach town Tulum, Mexico aims to cater to guests seeking community and interaction and offers luxury beach-front rooms designed to be as eco-friendly as possible. Located 80 miles south of Cancun on […]

Here’s an odd little commuting curiosity from Romania called the Carpii 4ciclet. It’s a four-wheeled stepper cycle targeted at older riders that transfers most of the pedaling work from the quads over to the calves, back, abs and backside. It’s creator claims it’s a particularly energy efficient design, but it sure looks odd to ride. One stands upon the 4ciclet’s […]

Plastic waste is a huge problem in Indonesia, and this has led the country’s second-largest city to come up with a novel approach to encourage residents to recycle — free bus rides in exchange for used plastic bottles and cups. The city of Surabaya launched the initiative back in April, and commuters can ride city buses by either dropping off […]

Judging by the success of the Scrooser and the Phatty, people do like the idea of fat-tired electric scooters. California-based skateboarder/cyclist/product designer Nathan Allen is now attempting to join the throng, with the interesting-looking and apparently self-balancing Stator. Currently in functioning prototype form, the Stator features a powder-coated chromoly steel tubular frame, a quirky one-sided handlebar that folds down for […]

Quite different from other camping trailers we’ve covered over the years, the iCamp from Dutch company Udo Camp rides to the campground as a flat trailer with a rear-end that looks like it belongs on a sports coupe.
