The QTvan: World’s Smallest Caravan or Just Clever Marketing?


Mobility scooters (or shop riders) are big business in the UK, with close to a quarter of a million of the island nation’s elderly and disabled population using them to get around. In response to a previous untapped market segment, Environmental Transport Association (ETA) has introduced the world’s smallest caravan that can be towed by a mobility scooter.

In what’s perhaps more marketing ploy than real product, ETA’s QTvan is a 2 metre by 0.75 metre (6.6 feet by 2.5 feet) caravan incorporating a full-size single bed, an onboard battery supply, a 19-inch (48 cm) television, radio / alarm clock, kettle and drinks cabinet. It costs £5,500 (US$9,077 / €6,234) and is offered with such extras as roof-mounted solar panels, air horn, satellite dish, central heating and bespoke paint.

VIDEO: How Not to Ride a Motorcycle on the Highway...


We have all seen our fair share of crazy bikers, but we're pretty sure none of you have happened to come across something like this before. Well, maybe with the exception of our readers from Morocco, where the following footage is said to have come from. The man in the video thinks it's okay to ride his bike sitting horizontally on the saddle while doing 140 km/h (87 mph) on the highway.

Judging by the sound of the engine, it seems that the only way to reach such speed on that particular bike was to make it as aerodynamic as possible. Hence the streamlined riding position...

After these words, and recognition of motorcycles, and some are more immediately as big as some companies have more than a motorcycle charity with stylish designs and large, as in the features of the effect. Among the most popular and motorcycles were stored by many young people, and Yamaha motorcycles elite, many as large as the Suzuki.

Yamaha Motorcycles Suzuki's as the two such that the view of many similar rule deliberate, but not in the open, as well. Written on the reverse of other motorcycles, have been absorbed in thought these bikes all the facilities is critical and one of the heads in a similar motorcycle. Despite the fact that one sees these bikes and unusual or everyone wants to be his motorcycle towards each other.

In addition, if we Yamaha or Suzuki motorcycle as big as our morals a little bit of the opposite or alternative Yamaha Motorcycles Suzuki wish for, it is likely with the help of posters or graphics. In contrast to the former, it is also likely that definitely gives the individual's conduct full motorcycle. With the help of the Internet can find the full range of corporate philanthropic foundations Yamaha Suzuki stickers or decals. But with the arrival of so many companies on the network, which is the subject of much embarrassment, and his mind, that is, it's all the same or to buy Yamaha, Suzuki sticker sticker of any business model?

The answer is going higher! Certainly not! It is because the variety of companies, and many of the appropriate badges to overcome, although the efficiency to do is to explain. Often seen from a business in the wake of a result, large quantities of many teams have the advantage of a really bad vinyl, because of the label or logo or graphics give way to blur the total destruction of the behavior of a bike soon. Therefore, it is very important indeed of the Assembly of the right of privacy Yamaha or Suzuki to get posters posters.

All graphics have formed outside the club from Rancho Santa Margarita, California, which is known for good graphics as large as the badges, which were not unusual in al Qaeda, though many of the patterns and to propose relevant price. With specialization in graphics motorcycle, but is also full use of indicators for the implementation of each business process pointer store. You can get all of the posters, a small space full digitally printed banner all the graphics off.

It is important to note, which was an order of Assembly impatiently in the final sequence to support the dual fans Wheeler appropriate label can get as big as many of these drawings for a bilateral two-wheelers.

If we receive a complaint from the law establishing the product inventory for contempt of motorcycles after expert in the graphics out of all the wishes of each crop. Nothing in the rule if we want to customize your bike with the graphics card slot, and then in addition to that there is no option as the best graphics out of all.

That your bike, in the singular as large as unusual by some suitable arrangements of many of the graphics of all the graphics off. When tasted, we do not waver, even then, we do not need to worry, while that everything is as it was certainly appropriate for many of the graphics as great as with the badges was really in line with prices in the graphics out of all. What we have to vigilant? Order Now!

But we need a much more nuanced appropriate Yamaha or Suzuki sticker labels, there is no option as the best graphics out of all.

There Can be Only One Motorcycle in The Future

motorcycles,  MotoGP, motorbike, Superbike

A motorcycle is a major transport when they travel through the regions of narrow, because they are small and easy to maneuver. I recommend it to ride a motorcycle through a populated area since zombies can exceed the town already. It is good to travel by land and rural areas. I think that the smaller bikes instead of big cars, Harley-Davidson. Slow and mindless zombies, but what they want to hear the lowest sound so keep this in mind.

Recently, I've been with some cool concepts for the MotoGP and some are a bit behind the concept. Let me say that if they start making motorcycles so that it will not be long before they have one.

The mission OneThe a mission (pictured above) 'talk of the town this month after the publication of her work TED2009. Was to establish a mission and the mission is one of the fastest cars, the electric bicycle in its entirety in the market. It is the peaks of 150 miles per hour (250 kilometers per hour and can speed without those gears. Plus, the design only of this world.

Honda V4 HondaV4Next is the concept that was released to the public to the 30 anniversary of the Honda V4 celebrate. With the introduction of the concept of Honda motorcycle promised that it would quickly become a leader in the Superbike and that no one will to the speed or the design of the forthcoming V4 touch.

ferrari_motorcycleIn an ideal world, where Ferrari made an engine This bike will be one of the coolest on the market, but for now it's just the concept. Designed by Prince Glinik bike is all the luxury you want a motorcycle. And will work on a bike Ferrari V4 Integrated Command Unit, a touch screen computer, which was able to bike the whole (as in the case of overheating, switching, and hence on). The question is, will look at Ferrari so far?

crosscage2Another Monster electrical and Suzuki says it is close to extinguish the hydrogen fuel cell Suzuki MotoGP Cross Cage (Cage Cross short). When we talk about 'Going Green' is the definition of a motorcycle. It has no acceleration, and makes no noise, no clutch, and not emissions. Suzuki has every right to say this is the future of motorcycles.

This concept of personal transport like motorcycles but it is not. It does not appear on the wheel motorcycle but it's not that either. We are looking at Ryder wheel, a device that can reduce personal manufactured by Yamaha, or some other similar companies, at a time in the future, too far away.

Rider at the wheel looks like a really dangerous machine to ride, but it probably will not be life-threatening and we imagine it to be. Rider wheel consists of three layers, outer body, which resembles a small motorcycle wheel, the wheel itself up to a person standing, and then home, where one can find an area to sit and controls.

Really like to see one of these children to work and we will be particularly interested in how that works out the entire crew. And can ride a motorcycle rather complex if one does not manage his or her balance during the flight physical. How can one be able to transport a vehicle that does not in fact allow you see the surrounding areas? How can the preservation of one passenger wheel in a timely and expeditious manner without the knowledge of the different at all times what is happening around him?

Perhaps inside the cockpit, we could find all kinds of tools and equipment means interesting, to help us to see the front and around us. Or perhaps will be to run a program automatically run the wheel from the outside by the same road with a computer to control speed, balance, and other features of the whole flight.

It will be until the driver of the wheel will be available in stores at the same time so we can focus on the technology available immediately, such as brand new phones found in Barcelona, Spain, the Convention on migrant workers in these days.
