YikeBike Super Light Electric Folding Bike Releases New Fusion Model 0

An innovative Fusion Model has been unveiled by the Christchurch Company that already developed the electric folding YikeBike. This new model is slightly heavy than the innate carbon fibre bike, however it is slightly lighter on the pocket. While the archetype is made out of carbon fibre, the Fusion frame as well as the structural parts are made out of alloy and strengthened polymer composite, which clearly marks the differentiation between the two. Weight approximately 14kg in comparison to the 10.8kg carbon fibre bike, the Fusion bile costs just US$2000, much cheaper than the carbon fiber bike which sells for US$3000. People always wanted to buy a bike via a distributor so that they could test the same. This was the main reason for why the company unveiled the Fusion model at a much lower price point. Nevertheless, the fusion model would certainly meet the demands of the people. The YikeBike was groundbreaking at a concept and at execution level, with sound programs to drive mass market adoption, said the judges.

TrakRok ATV Trike by Alexei Mikhailov Is Powered by Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology 0

The TrakRok is a terrain vehicle which provides a new alternate plan intended for off-road mobility in all seasons. It comes under the category of trike. It consists of enables to have two wheels and is driven independently by electric motors. It has an independent track system which is driven directly. This third propulsion derivative over-shadows snow mobile functions as an all season application. High powered electric motors are used. This propels the rubber track plates and allows highest grip in mud and snow and has a torque power different from the quad wheel counterpart. The product is powered by renewable power by means of hydrogen fuel cell technology. The fuel cells lower the center of gravity. It has two large radiators for cooling purpose. It has a light weight construction using anodized aluminum. This is mainly useful in Steep inclination and stony mud terrain. It can be potentially used in armed forces, Farming, Construction and in Sport Leisure.

SÜZ-GEÇ Indispensable Kitchen Appliance 0

SÜZ-GEÇ has put an end to the problems caused due to the traditional funnel used as an indispensible kitchen appliance. Formed by the habitué funnel cut into 2 pieces vertically, the only difference between the 2 funnels is that one does the same work as that of a regular funnel, while the other features a surface having petite holes in order to perform filtration. The use of this surface is primarily to lessen the number of steps involved during the process by allowing the liquid to be separated from the little particles. The silicon pieces present around the hatchways of the half funnels makes the opening a complete piece when put together. It fits well into the mouth of the bottles, regardless of it being made of 2 conical parts. Furthermore, the need to hold the funnel plus the bottle is completely eliminated when the user tries to pour the water into the volume. Existing over the silicon part are the blanks, taking the shape of straps. These blanks helps block the formation of air bubbles when pouring the liquid. SÜZ-GEÇ can either be stored side-by-side or upside down in its own package.
