While there are a few different electric motorcycles on the market, most of them are pretty expensive, so if you want to cut your fuel costs and do it cheaply then the best approach might be something like what Stryker did. On a budget of just $3000, he put together a vehicle that has a 70 mph top speed and with a 10 mile range.
The cool thing is that Stryker documented most of the process on Instructables, so if you want to try to build your own then you can. If you live close to work, then the 10-mile range should be enough, if not, it makes an easy way to get around the neighborhood.

f you like the fuel-efficiency of a motorcycle and the comfort of a car, the Carver One might be what you’re looking for. The Carver One is a hybrid car/motorcycle that is compact and fuel-efficient. It only has three wheels and uses Dynamic Vehicle Control to bank the vehicle around turns. Just like if it was a bike and had only two wheels.

The body is 11.2 feet long, 4.3 feet wide, and 4.6 feet high, so I would image it would be easy to park on a small crowded street. The driver seat is said to be comfortable, but the optional backseat leaves much to be desired. The Carver’s speed maxes out at about 115mph and has a manual five speed transmission.

Drivers of the Carver One say it’s like driving a roller coaster — which I can understand since it banks around turns, much like roller coasters do. People have also said that it handles smoothly in varied weather conditions.

This one part car, one part motorcycle is currently only for sale in Europe for around $44,000. They are working on getting past all the regulations so they can release it in the US before 2010.

The cabin design motorcycle is not something new, but MonoTracer is not ordinary cabin bike it was really jaw-dropping when the 1st look is highly impressive. The Monotracer side panel view this bike looks like shape of egg and outcome is a very sexy cabin motor cycle. They one thing to put such paper drawings and a whole different matter when it comes to converting that in to on-road performance. You see this motorcycle and one think comes in your mind its very heavy but it not true its weight minimal, skilful design and very low drag, this ground-breaking new production vehicle offers better-quality drive outcome coupled with reduced greatly space requirements and theatrically low CO2 exhaust emissions.

With the improvement of its production facilities, a developed capacity of 100 vehicles will be reached next year. A trial vehicle awaits your involvement in a test run too.

Разработката е направена за да се комбинира с други концепции за сгъваеми велосипеди при които колелото е голям проблем. Проекта е поръчан от голяма компания и скоро ще го видим в магазините. Проблема е в това че сигурно ще е изработено от карбон и цената ще е голяма.

The E-V Sunny Solar Bicycle has solar panels built into the wheels, which maintain a constant charge to the batteries. When you don't feel like pedaling the bike is powered by a 500 watt front hub motor. It'll get you up to about 18 mph, and even faster if you fall off a cliff. The catch is that it weighs 75 lbs., so you're gonna need to use that motor unless you have legs like mighty oaks. A new one costs $1295, and kits to solarize your own bike start at $795. I remember the first time I got on a bike and realized that you have to pedal them to go. What a letdown that was. I thought they were silent motorcycles for people who weren't into wearing leather.

There is one thing that all of the gadgets on the market today have in common. They all require energy. Energy is something that is all around us.
ReCycle targets the wasted energy that is generated while riding a bicycle and empowers consumers to not only consume, but produce.

ReCycle contains three micro generators and a lithium ion battery.
These micro generators create an electric charge during any movement of the bicycle. They are oriented to target the most common movements when riding a bike, such as bumps in the road and pedaling. When this electric charge is generated, it is stored in a lithium ion battery.

Jim Garlitz, a man who runs a pizza shop in Maryland, has combined a Yamaha Virago motorcycle with an outboard engine to create, uh, this thing, the water chopper. Capable of doing 37 mph, it looks like it was invented long ago and called the jetski. It also looks like I wouldn't want to get on it. Unless I was using it as a pirating vessel to rob all the stupid tourists that rent those floating big wheel bikes at the beach
