The Lumos Bicycle Helmet

THE SAFEST BICYCLE HELMET EVER
Yes, it is a Kickstarter project, but with 16 days to go it already got 3 times the funding they were looking for!

The Lumos is the ultimate bicycle helmet with brake lights and turn signals to help cyclists stay safe and visible on the road.Genius! Yes, it shouldn't be difficult or inconvenient to take care of your basic safety as a cyclist. Yet we frequently forget or misplace our lights, and drivers are often frustrated at the difficulty in both seeing and predicting where some cyclists want to go on the road.

How does it work? There is a small remote that mounts wherever it makes the most sense for your bike and riding style. The Lumos helmet will automatically pair with the remote whenever you are in close proximity to it. Lumos also comes with an integrated accelerometer. It senses when you slow down, and automatically turns all the rear lights bright solid red to signal that you are braking.

The Harrington

You'll fight your kid for the keys!

So you have always dreamed of owning a Jaguar E-Type, Mercedes 300SL Roadster, Porsche Speedster or Aston Martin DB5 ... but your bank account still looks the same? Well .. how about a slightly smaller version of your dream?

Group Harrington, a British owned and managed company with our head quarters in Ho Chi Minh City, (Saigon)Viet Nam, offers some pretty cool "kid cars" (get it??) that are around a third of the size of the real car but with such good detailing that they look convincingly like the real thing. Until, that is, someone steps into the picture and you get a scale reference.

So yes, they are more meant for your kid .. but with engines starting at 50cc you can go all the way up to a racing kart unit ... which would be more .. us!

Prices? Around $25,000 for the mini Aston ...

Buy them .. here!

The Scrambler Ducati

The Return of an Iconic Legend
"It's more than a bike, It’s a land of joy, freedom and self-expression!"

Gentlemen (and, sorry, ladies!) .. you so want to start this engine! This is what we all have been dreaming about for quite some time!

The Ducati Scrambler is the contemporary interpretation of the iconic Ducati model, as if it had never been out of production. The style is “post-heritage”: to take the best of the past and create something unique and absolutely contemporary. Anti-conformist, accessible and essential, the Ducati Scrambler is the perfect blend of tradition and modernity and marks a return to the pure essence of motorcycling: two wheels, a wide handlebar, a simple engine and a huge amount of fun. 

Ducati is offering four versions of the Scrambler: The base model "Icon" will cost you $8,495. Next is the Full Throttle ($9,995) which  is more of a flat-tracker style, with Termignoni exhaust and a bumblebee paint theme. Our favorite, the Urban Enduro (pictured) is $9,995 and packs a front mudguard, headlight grill, cross-brace on the handlebar, sump guard, and green paint with a brown vintage seat. And the Classic (again, $9,995) gets spoked wheels, a number plate mount, metal mudguards, and a different tank design.

The Koenigsegg Regera

Losing your driver's license has never been so easy!
The wait is over! And we got what we wanted: The world's most powerful hybrid supercar. Yes, Christian von Koenigsegg has done it again!

The Regera uses a hybrid drivetrain, albeit one completely unlike anything we’ve seen before. It uses both a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine and three electric motors for a total combined output of 1.11 megawatts, which converts to 1509 metric horsepower.

Koenigsegg claims the 0-to-400-kph (249 mph) acceleration time of less than 20 seconds makes the Regera—Swedish for “to reign”—the fastest-accelerating car in the world. We also heard 3.2 seconds between 150 to 250 km/h but there is no official 0-100 time ... yet.

Just 80 examples of the Koenigsegg Regera will be built.  The price tag? We heard little less than $2 Million.

Bentley R-Type La Sarthe

Not a replica. Not a recreation. Not a look alike.
Built by well-known Rolls Royce and Bentley Specialists Bensport Ltd UK, the "La Sarthe" is build in very small numbers to the customer's bespoke specification.

This modern classic uses an original and fully restored Bentley R type chassis, rebuilt to "as new" specification and is then clothed with one of the most beautiful coachbuilt aluminum fastback bodies imaginable.

It also features an uprated suspension, brakes and cooling systems which also improve navigation in modern urban traffic.

So if you are tired of spending a fortune for a luxury car, only to find the same model sit next to yours outside the grocery store, this may be the solution!

The price? Depending on the customer's wishes a La Sarthe starts at around $560,000

Acton RocketSkates

12 mph on a pair of Electric Skates
It started as a KickStarter project making their inventors more than ten times  ($550,725) than the pledged goal ($50,000). Funded! And the skates became reality. 

The big difference to other electric skates - there is no remote control, your feet control the skates by tilting the skates forward to accelerate, and tilting back on your heel to apply the brakes.
Each skate has two hub motors controlled by an on-board microprocessor, and are powered by a lithium-ion battery pack. The skates communicate with each other so they maintain the same speed and behavior.

MORGAN 3 Wheeler

The Greatest Vehicle on the Planet?

If you are looking for a very unique car, one where you won't come back from the store just to see the same parked next to it ... and if you are not willing to spend a fortune for the likes of Koenigsegg, Pagani or Bugatti, maybe check out the ultra-cool and ultra-retro MORGAN 3 Wheeler!


Ok, it lacks a top, a radio, and, most notably, a fourth wheel. Yet it proves to get you more attention than a million dollar super car!

It is a recreation of Morgan's early cyclecars, this time featuring a 1983cc S&S engine mated to a 5-speed manual that accelerates the 550kg retro-toy in little more than 4 seconds to 100 km/h. The price? Around $45,000
