Pretty Cool Motorbike - The Uni Electric Motorcycle

cool motorcycle

18 year old Ben Gulak has really extended himself to create one pretty cool motorcycle. He took the principles of the Segway scooter, and merged the style of a motorbike, into probably the worlds coolest electric form of transportation.

This project hopes to get him enrolled in MIT, and we here at Yeah its Pretty Cool think that if he doesn’t get a letter after this performance, we don’t know what will. I think the greatest thing besides it being environmentally friendly is the fact that he is a teenager, and he developed this through a teenagers eyes. The extremely cool looks of his motorcycle makes it much more accessible to younger people, and they are the ones that are looking for new innovations in transport.

And with the cost of fuel escalating, young people are going to be starting to look at new ways to get around. And there is no reason why Ben Gulak’s pretty cool motorcycle shouldnt be their first product to consider. Surely this can go into production!

Pretty Cool Custom Motorbikes - Lazareth

Cool Custom Bikes

Ludovic Lazareth is probably the best custom motorbike builder of all time. He takes standard motorbikes, performs all his own custom fabrication, and turns a plain, stock motorbike into one pretty cool, mindblowing custom motorbike, with little of the original left. He is a true artist with metal. Think of what the American Chopper boys do to Choppers, and imagine the same but to sports bikes, naked bikes, and quads.

Since Lazareth is French, we can’t extract all the details from his site into english, but his sites have alot of videos about how he builds, unfortunately we cannot post them here, but below is a link to a TV show on him, showing his custom Mini that he built too.

The work we like the most are his pretty cool custom quad bikes and trikes. Taking the stock bike and turning into an awesome quad, that probably is still road legal, is an amazing engineering marvel. I want one of these pretty damn cool bikes, and I want one now.

His attitude to building is one for all customisers to follow - he states that he tries to do something completely new and different every year. We respect the guys that are continually trying to innovate.

Custom Laptop - Pretty Cool

What’s the coolest laptop you have ever seen? MacBook Air? Asus EEE PC? How about one made from a book. Thats right, a real-life, made from paper and printed with ink book. We this UK design student, Kyle Bean has made a pretty cool custom laptop. Whether it is functional or not, we are too sure at Yeah its Pretty Cool. His official site does not have much information about it, but we will definitely try to contact him.

How cool would it be to have a custom laptop that can be used instead of a book. That might even make books cool again! I think the point is that this is a pretty cool design, by a pretty cool designer. And mixing the old with the new is always the best way to go. Pretty Cool stuff Kyle!
