Stanley's standard flask is great for transporting drinks in a coat pocket, but not so great for fitting into bicycle water bottle cages. Unless, of course, it's the Oliver Flask Cage. Made in Durango, Colorado from high-quality materials, It bolts on to your bike using the same holes as a normal cage, but provides a snug fit for your flask so your clandestine booze holder doesn't go bouncing down the street.
All personal water craft are not created equally. But you don't have to take our word for it, just have a look at the Strand Craft V8 Wet Rod. Featuring a customizable construction made from carbon fiber and epoxy, you can optionally add wood and carbon inlays, custom paint and wrapping, and more. But that's hardly what makes this jet ski special — no, that's the 5.7-liter V8 tucked inside this 16-foot boat. With a 300-horsepower output, it'll do up to 65 miles per hour, which is probably plenty fast to get you to your recently-purchased mega yacht, or at least put a smile on your face.
It sounds too good to be true — a quality, stylish, maintenance-free bike for a reasonable price. But that's exactly what the Priority Bike is meant to be. It starts with an oversized aluminum frame that refuses to rust, continues with a belt-driven system that requires virtually no maintenance, and concludes with a smooth three-geared system. Or maybe not, since the bike also comes with a tire pump, water bottle cage, a comfy seat, and puncture-resistant tires. With only five minutes required to put the thing together, you'll be on the road in no time.
Having a hard time deciding between an aerodynamic helmet and one that will keep your head cool when you're out on a ride? With the Bell Star Pro Helmet, you don't have to choose. This first-of-its-kind cycling helmet was created from the inside-out to maximize aerodynamics and ventilation, doing so via Active-Aero technology that lets the rider regulate airflow via a simple slider that opens or closes vents. Other features include overbrow ventilation, progressive layering, and a Magnetic Zeiss Shield that allows for integrated eyewear on select models. Available in six handsome colorways.
If the name looks at all familiar to you, it's probably because you've seen you share of Bamford Watch Department's bespoke luxury timepieces around. But with Bamford Custom Bikes, they take the concept a step further, and apply it to the world of high-performance bicycles. Tailoring a custom bike to your exact specifications — right down to road feel, weight, and body fit — they make each piece of the frame from carbon composite in a one-off process. From there you can go on to select each component and design a paint scheme that's completely original to you.

It's a wonderful problem to have, but we're sure there's someone out there right this minute trying to decide whether they should buy a cruising yacht or a day boat. With the Alen 68 Yacht, you don't have to decide. Boasting 20% more space than most comparable vessels, the 68 uses a flexible design to allow for your choice of up to 3 cabins or more lounging space. Other features include upscale materials like bleached oak, white leather and white onyx, 2 powerful V12 engines good for a top speed of 45 knots, and sleek styling that will make you mighty popular at the local yacht club.
There's nothing quite like a flat tire to ruin a good bike ride — it's a complete pain to fix, usually expensive, and typically results in a quick end to your trip — at least until the Patchnride. This simple, portable device lets you easily and permanently fix a popped tire on the road, letting you get right back to riding. All you need to do is insert the device into the hole, pull back on the switch, and pump your tire up (all without ever removing your wheel from your bike). So forget about costly fixes and ruined days, and just ride.
The original Quadski was awesome, as it successfully combined a four-wheeler and a jetski, creating a sort of ultimate solo beach/lake/camping mobile, but it had one glaring problem: namely, it only supported a single rider. Enter the Quadski XL. Boasting a larger body and a 1300cc BMW engine, the XL is ready to let up to two people hit the trails and the water at speeds of up to 45 mph on either surface, making it that much more useful as a discreet aquatic/woodland hookup couple-friendly vehicle.
Live out your fantasies of sea-faring exploration and pillaging with this Personal Viking Ship. Sold by The Viking Ship Museum and hand-built to order by skilled craftsmen using authentic tools in the ancient Nordic capital of Roskilde, these ships are as close as you can come to inheriting an ancient vessel that belonged to a distant ancestor. Oh, and should the personal size not be up to your standards, don't worry — there's a full range of models, including the intimidating, nearly 10-meter-long Gokstad battle cruiser.
While we're still a long way off from achieving the kind of technology that allowed Marty McFly to effortlessly skateboard feet above the ground, the Water Hoverboard is very much a real thing. Essentially a wakeboard with a high-powered water jet at its rear, this hoverboard attaches to your personal watercraft (think jet ski) with a long hose, propelling you up to 16 feet above the water, at speeds of up to 16 miles per hour. Once you're set up, you can perform wild aerial tricks like flips, spins, summersaults, and more — or just rip across the water like some insane dolphin-human-robot hybrid.
Let's see: you've got a gold phone, gold chain, gold watch, gold rings, and maybe even a gold wallet. Why not complete the look and ride the streets on gold wheels? The Solid Gold Mountain Bike lets you do exactly that. Handcrafted and overlaid with pure 24K gold in a process that takes nearly 800 hours to complete, this ostentatious two-wheeler also features a customized seat covered in chocolate brown alligator, a logo encrusted with over 600 black diamonds and 500 golden sapphires, and comes complete with a matching gold-covered water bottle with chocolate brown stingray accents. Welcome to the 1%.
Inspired by the Spitfire WWII fighter plane, the Claydon Reeves Aeroboat recalls the golden age of flight while staying grounded to the water. The 48-foot boat is built from high-end superyacht materials, yet maintains the attitude of the Spitfire, and is powered by a supercharged V12 Rolls Royce Merlin engine that can be configured to deliver between 1500 and 2500hp, good for speeds of up to and over 75 knots. There's room for up to 7 passengers aboard — including in the luxurious cabin — a mix of analog gauges and touch-screen controls, and shock-mounted forward seats inspired by the Spitfire's landing gear, but if you want one, you'd best hurry: only 10 are being made.
Our system of highways, roads, avenues, bike paths, sidewalks, and parking lots serve a clear and important purpose — the facilitation of easy transportation — but it could do so much more. With Solar Roadways, every paved surface in the country could one day be turned into a source of renewable energy, ultimately producing enough electricity to power our nation three times over. And there's more: programmable LEDs would send information to drivers, while eliminating the need for painted road markers, while built-in heat sources would make snowy and icy roads a thing of the past. While it seems a little pie-in-the-sky right now, they've already received funding from federal highway authorities to begin pilot programs — so a brave new world could be nearer than we ever thought possible.
Another in a slew of urban commuting bikes we've seen hit the market recently, the Viks Bike is constructed entirely from high-quality stainless steel tubes, making for a durable bike that's still relatively light weight. Its unique shape is made up of two identical tube frames joined alongside each other, meeting at a single head tube, seat tube, and bottom bracket. Featuring either a fixed gear or a coaster brake hub, it's the ideal bike for cruising through flat cities either on the way to work or out for the night. Available in a number of customizable configurations, and a range of powder-coated colors, this is a city bike that you can really make your own.
We've seen plenty of electric vehicles over the years, but none that weigh in at under ten pounds. Claiming the throne of "world's lightest electric vehicle", the Marbel Electric Skateboard comes in at 9.9 lbs, and offers a range of up to 10 miles and a top speed of 20 mph thanks to a powerful battery system that's completely integrated into the deck. Speaking of which, it's built entirely from carbon fiber and kevlar, save for the nose, tail, and wheels, which are all crafted from Urethane rubber. All you need to do is hop aboard and move the throttle slider, or better yet, pair the board to your phone and completely customize your ride.
If you've always wanted to experience the feeling of flying, but don't want to deal with the expense of a plane or helicopter, or spend the time getting licenses and certifications, then the Aero-X Hoverbike might be just what you're looking for. With two carbon fiber propellers fitted to the front and back, the hover bike is capable of flying up to ten feet above the ground and cruising at 45 miles per hour.And with maneuverability similar to that of a motorcycle, you can just tilt your body to change your course. Ideal for a range of professional and recreational uses, it's perfect for search and rescue, border patrol, disaster relief, bounding over the desert, or flying over the water (with the optional flotation pontoon kit).
Modern skateboarding as we know it came from surfing — after the waves went out, surfers would carve the asphalt just trying to pass the time — so it only makes sense that a surfboard company would bring us skateboards that harness the spirit of the surf. Salt Skateboards are made from two layers of walnut veneer sandwiching a layer of maple veneer, giving them all the strength of hardwood while maintaining enough flexibility to maneuver. The tail kicks up slightly giving you excellent control when you're carving, so you get the feel of moving through the waves even on land.
Everyone knows a bike is a great way to get around — whether you use one to get you to work every day, or just to keep yourself physically fit — but one thing a bike lacks is convenient storage for your gear. With Tanner Goods Bike Bags you get all the convenience of biking and plenty of storage for your stuff. Choose from a saddle bag that hangs beneath your seat, a frame bag to hang underneath your ride, and a handlebar bag for up front (or choose all three and really load yourself down). Available in three colors, burnt oak, charcoal, and field tan, and made from durable 10-ounce canvas and 18-ounce twill, they feature plenty of pockets, straps to keep them secure, and sturdy zippers to keep everything intact.

As increasingly more people give up their cars in favor of biking to work, it only makes sense that necessity would drive our bikes to get smarter — more capable of handling the risks and challenges of an urban commute. The Vanhawks Valour Connected Bike combines intelligent technology with lightweight carbon-fiber construction for a bike that's truly meant to handle the busy city streets. Connecting to an iPhone, Android, and Pebble app using Bluetooth, this bike lets you plot your routes, giving you turn-by-turn directions, and offers blind-spot detection, theft alerts, fitness data, and so much more. Better still, it connects with other Vanhawks Valour bikes, helping to improve your routes over time so you can avoid congestion, potholes, and other pitfalls.
