Perched atop two aggressive tank treads, the skateboard-like deck of the DTV Shredder feels familiar. Riding it is anything but. Powered by a 4-stroke, 196cc engine, it can hit speeds of over 25 mph. It has a patented Dual CVT transmission system that converts your natural movements into controls, adjusting the speed of the tracks to match. Thanks to those tracks, it can handle nearly any terrain, including sand, snow, and dirt, yet folds down to a trunk-friendly size.
After 90 years, Frauscher is still on the cutting edge of design. The brand new 858 Fantom Air Dayboat is the latest example, unveiled this month at the Cannes Yachting Festival. A collaboration between Frauscher's head of development and yacht designer Harry Miesbauer, the 858 has a 98-gallon fuel tank for longer adventures, and the inboard engines power ranges from 300 to 430 hp. The cruiser has a teak bathing deck in the stern, options for a refrigerated drawer, and entertainment options like Bluetooth, and USB-compatible hookups.
With on-demand 4WD and a standard solar power system, the Winnebago Revel is both off-road and off-grid. It's built on a 4x4 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, offering a much more compact ride than the Winnebagos you're used to. The vehicle is powered by a 3-liter turbo-diesel and has 325 lbs-ft of torque to master any terrain. Pack all the essentials, the interior includes a full galley with aluminum cabinets, a modular dinette, and an all-in-one wet bath, while a power-lift bed makes room for a 140-cubic foot gear garage to house all the equipment needed for your next adventure.
Made by hand in Italy, the Vadolibero Origo Vox Bike Butler does far more than just keep your bicycle off the ground. Its multi-layered birch cabinet is covered in real oak wood veneer and hides some smart features. Those include a powerful Bluetooth speaker system, an integrated wireless charger, four USB ports for charging other gadgets, and posts for holding accessories that don't need to go in the drawer. It sits on a hand-varnished stainless steel base and includes hand-sewn leather accessories for the top tray, frame pad, and wheel strap. Available in black or dove gray.
At 29 feet, it's more day boat than yacht, but that doesn't make the Hinkley Dasher Electric Yacht any less impressive. It uses dual batteries sourced from BMW's i3 line to power twin 80hp inboard motors. As quiet as can be, it has a range of 40 mph, a top speed of 28 mph, and can recharge using dual 50-amp charging cables in a little under four hours. The hull is crafted from a carbon-epoxy composite, while the deck is covered in "artisanal teak," an epoxy composite that's hand-painted to look like wood while offering a substantial reduction in weight. Other highlights include a striking touchscreen console, a frameless windshield that raises and lowers as needed, and hidden lighting for nighttime voyages.
Based on a Mercedes-Benz G320, the Orangework Lennson 3C Camper is one of the poshest overland rigs around. It's powered by a 220hp turbo V6 linked to a seven-speed automatic transmission for a smooth ride and has nearly 400 lb-ft of torque on hand to make quick work of rugged terrain. While the length remains manageable at under 19 feet, it still finds room to fit a full kitchen, bathroom, seating area, and spacious sleeping area inside.
It's no secret that the wood from whisky barrels is versatile. But the Renovo x Glenmorangie Original Bicycle shows just how versatile a barrel can be. The collaborative effort from the bicycle maker and Scotch Whisky distiller is the first of its kind and gives new life to Single Malt casks that once held Glenmorangie Scotch. The hollow frame is created from 15 staves to reflect the curvature of the casks, and take more than 20 hours to create. The finished product weighs around 18 pounds, are individually numbered, and are finished with Glenmorangie's Signet icon.

The result of three years of research and millions of data points, the Casper Wave is a breakthrough in mattress design. Underneath its handsome exterior, you'll find the new, proprietary Natural Geometry System. It uses five layers of foam to mimic the natural contours of your body at 36 specific points, adjusting naturally to your shoulders and hips without sacrificing support, and keeping your spine properly aligned. Like the original, it uses open-cell foams to keep you cool at night. Designed and assembled in the USA.

Part yacht, part speedboat, the Superfly GT 42 Superboat is an exciting way to explore the seas. Its sleek design comes from Red Yacht Design, while Swedish firm Flying Flipper will handle the build. Underneath its sleek, hybrid carbon hull you'll find a luxurious interior featuring a spacious living area, a forward cabin with separate beds and lots of storage, an airy bathroom, and a rear owners cabin with a double king sized bed and glass at every turn. On deck, there's a U-shaped sofa that doubles as forward-facing seats, a futuristic cockpit, and a retractable glass hard top. Power comes from your choice of a handful of engine options, including outboards, inboards, and a hybrid system, the most powerful of which produces 1,881 hp and a top speed of 65 knots. Each example will be built by hand and customized to suit its owner, with production limited to just a few units per year.
When you hit the trail for a race or training session, your health is essential. But the helmet you strap on shouldn't be something you're always aware of, and the Forefront Helmet from Smith certainly meets that standard. It features lightweight Aerocore construction with Koroyd that creates a low volume helmet with ventilated protection. Your sunglasses, goggles, or POV camera can easily be integrated, and it's available with MIPS in select colors.

We think a lot about how our bike looks, or how well it can handle our commute. And while that stuff is vital and present here, the makers of the Speedvagen Urban Racer Bicycle want you to instead focus on how fun their new bike will be to ride. Available in Matte Army Green or Hot Pink, the Urban Racer is made in the U.S.A. in small batches and is light but strong, featuring a steel frame that is 4-6 times stronger than standard steel tubing. You also get a coaster brake, a two-speed internal SRAM hub, and a Fabric Scoop Ti rails saddle.
Powered by the sun and the wind, the sCarabane Rotating Camper is modular, movable, and self-sufficient. The rectangular caravan measures in at just 25.6-feet-long while on the road, but upon arriving at its destination, it unfolds into a sprawling tiny home. This feature adds an outdoor living area with a retractable awning on one end and a pair of bedrooms on the other, flanking a central dry bath, kitchen, and dining booth. The structure sits on a circular pod, enabling the camper to rotate 360-degrees as it tracks the sun to heat water, while a vertical wind turbine provides electricity, allowing you to set up camp just about anywhere.
Inspired by Batman's mask, the Gotham Project Superyacht is as distinct as the Caped Crusader himself. The vessel is a collaborative effort from designer Ivan Erdevicki, Dutch shipyard Icon Yachts, Van Oossanen Naval Architects, and broker Harry Bristow-Holmes, and measures 150 feet of black-clad luxury. Powered by a pair of 2,000 hp MTU engines, she has a top speed of 26 knots, a cruising speed of 12 knots, Transatlantic range, and an aluminum hull and superstructure to tackle large waves. Inside, you'll find a custom glass wine cellar, a gymnasium, and five cabins to host you and up to nine guests.
Most yachts are built to look as futuristic as possible. The Hartman Livingstone 24 Yacht is happily inspired by the past. In a nod to classic cruisers, the 79-foot vessel's exterior wouldn't look out of place in the 1930s. Unlike those old boats, it hides a host of modern amenities beneath its retro exterior. Those include four staterooms with room for up to nine passengers, a kitchen, bar, dining, and living areas, a pair of 345 hp MAN engines, and state-of-the-art navigation.
Thanks to regulations that have made motorcycle plates prohibitively expensive and scooter licenses affordable for everyone, the custom scene in China has shifted from the former to the latter. The Shanghai Customs Honda eCub Scooter is a perfect example. Using the venerable Cub as a base, this electric vehicle has all its wiring hidden, including the battery packs and controller, which sit in a custom box where the engine used to be. It's controlled via a motorcycle-style throttle and is also equipped with a front headlight, LED brake lights and blinkers, and chunky tires on 18-inch aluminum rims. It can carry an average-sized adult up over 30 miles at speeds up to 30 mph, and since it retains the holders for the rear foot pegs, it's easy to add a second seat for passengers.
To celebrate their 25th Anniversary, Riese & Müller unveiled the third edition of one of the most versatile e-bikes on the market. The Delite line adds the GT Signature to its ranks complete with 27.5" wheels, wide tires, Control Technology for stability, and powerful dual battery technology. This doubles the bike's range and combined with Bosch Performance drive — which provides pedal assistance of up to 300% — the Delite GT is one of the most impressive e-bikes we've come across.
There was no better way to round out the Billykirk x Uncrate collaboration than to include their signature No. 257 Dopp Kit. Already one of the finer examples of a "wash bag" around, our American Bison hide was added as the bottom trim to the waxed canvas exterior to give the already sturdy bag even more heft and attitude. The Ranger Tan nylon interior that runs throughout the collection started with the Dopp Kit, as we wanted something that would ensure the smallest of items was easy to identify when rummaging around after a long night. The hinged opening offers the easiest access of any dopp we've tested, while the snap-shut closure ensures everything stays in place when on the move. And, of course, it easily fits inside the Billykirk x Uncrate Carryall when an overnight stay is in order.

For Issue 02, we flew down to Cuba to do some long-awaited exploring, gathering all of the cigars and rum the island has to offer. We then returned stateside and dug up even more. In Southern California, we visited the garage-oasis of Mercedes Motoring and obsessed over their immaculate collection of classic Benzes. We wrapped things up with edited guides full of machetes, submarines, golf equipment, sneakers, watches, and skateboards, among other gear.
Entirely modular and available in an array of configurations, the Fiat Ducato Camper Van is ready for your next adventure, no matter what your needs. This versatile vehicle comes in three different wheelbases, four lengths, and three heights, with eight volume options. The square base shape lets you make the most of the load compartment, whether you need it loaded with technical gear or creature comforts, and the tight turning radius and adjustable steering make it feel more like a car than a truck while you're traveling to your next campsite.
The range of electric skateboards continues to evolve, and with the release of these two boards from Kuickwheel, it's taking a big step forward. The Serpent-C is the smallest electric skateboard on the market, with a 300-watt in-wheel motor that can go up to 11 mph for up to 6 miles. It's controlled using a force-sensitive remote control, and at only 18 inches long, you can toss it into your pack with ease. The Serpent-W, on the other hand, is a 40-inch longboard that can go up to 25 mph with a range of nearly 10 miles and even includes safety lighting for peace of mind during a nighttime trip. Both boards give riders the option of eco or sports mode based on their experience and use high-quality materials that are built to last.
When we think of "flying DeLorean," somehow this isn't quite what we've had in mind. Developed by Paul DeLorean, nephew of DMC founder John, the DeLorean DR-7 Aircraft is a two-seat, self-flying vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle. It looks less like a car than a plane, with two sets of wings, winglets underneath, and two large ducted fans that sit horizontally for takeoff before rotating to vertical for forward flight. Still in the R&D phase, it will measure 20 feet long and 18.5 feet wide, with the ability to tuck its wings to the sides to fit in large garages. The hope is to have a full-scale prototype in the air by next year, with the ultimate goal of squeezing 120 miles of range out of its all-electric propulsion system.

With a sleek design and impressive performance, the Wally Tango Sailing Yacht is a worthy addition to the Wallycento fleet of racing cruisers. Measuring 100 feet in length, the Tango's form was developed in collaboration with Italian shipbuilders Persico Marine and Ireland-based naval architect Mark Mills, using a carbon fiber and Nomex sandwich material for the hull to keep weight down and improve its speed. In addition to its light 47.5-ton weight, the Tango also saw its engine room and service areas moved to the middle of the ship to optimize the center of gravity and improve the sailing experience. The exterior isn't the only area in which it's different, however, as the spacious cabin sports a futuristic design courtesy of Pininfarina. The vessel will make its debut at the Monaco Yacht Show before competing in its first race, an event in Saint-Tropez where it will face off against the other three Wallycentos.
Taking its name from the continuously variable transmission hub, the Continuum Bicycle from Priority is back and available for the first time in Onyx. The next generation edition allows riders to enjoy a quiet, smooth ride without the need to shift under load or skip gears thanks to the seamlessly shifting NuVinci rear hub. All you need to do is twist the shifter grip to the ideal resistance to climb hills with ease. And the belt drive replaces the oily, messy chain most bikes employ, requiring no lube and minimal cleaning. It's great for any weather and promises to cut down on your commute time as well.
The new GSD E-Bike from Tern provides the best of both worlds for cargo bikers. It measures the same length as a typical e-bike but has room for cargo hold panniers and up to two child seats. And since it's designed to fit in small elevators, you can store it indoors, unlike most cargo bikes. It's also equipped with Bosch's Dual-Battery tech, allowing you to connect up to two batteries for a range of over 150 miles, letting you commute for several days on a single charge. Available in 400 or 900-watt configurations and a variety of colors, it's slated for sale in early 2018.
Thanks to the need for the rider to have unmatched balance, unicycles have never been a popular form of transportation. The Uno Bolt Electric Unicycle is out to change that. Thanks to its gyroscopic stabilizer system, it makes riding as easy as leaning in the direction you want to go. Its electric powertrain gives it a top speed of 22 mph and a range of 25 miles per charge, and its compact body and light weight make it easy to move around. It keeps you visible at night with a powerful LED flood light on the front and twin LEDs on the rear, its all-terrain tire handles rough roads with ease, and the integrated parking stand means you don't need to find a wall when you're done riding.
Sleek and powerful, the Evo WA Extendable Yacht can make your day on the water more enjoyable than nearly any craft its size. It starts with its namesake "walk around" deck that lets you move quickly between the bow and stern. The stern also transforms into a huge beach area thanks to walls that open hydraulically in under 30 seconds, creating over 25 square meters of space. The area can be outfitted to match your needs, with options like chaise-lounges, cushions that double as floating pads, and a retractable cooking area. Under the deck, you'll find two cabins and one bath, and the entire rig is controlled from a single iPad at the helm. Powered by twin Volvo Penta engines producing 435 hp each, it's capable of hitting a top speed of 40 knots, with a cruising speed of 32 and a range of 300 nautical miles.
Built as a tender for larger superyachts, the Mazu Thirtyeight Yacht is a capable day cruiser in its own right. As the name suggests, it measures 38 feet long, with a 12-foot beam. The open deck plan includes an aft dining area, a bimini, deck shower, and a retractable swim platform. Underneath, you'll find two galleys, Gaggenau appliances, an en suite bedroom with full shower, and a crew cabin. Powered by your choice of Volvo Penta diesels, it has a cruising speed of 30 knots and can hit 45 knots at the top end, with the hand laid carbon hull ensuring a smooth ride.
Electric bicycles are all the rage. From high-tech offerings like the Neematic FR/1 to the more casual Pedego Airstream, there's something for every purpose and budget. Avionics is on the verge of releasing their own electric bike, each one of which gets its own custom name. The distinctive look walks the line between minimalist modern and decidedly retro, all accented with parts made from Jatoba wood. The battery and motor case, brake levers, fork covers, seat, and headlight bucket are all made from the extremely tough wood. But an electric bike wouldn't be electric without a motor. The Avionics features a 5,000 watt brushless DC engine, capable of a frame-bending 92 ft-lbs of torque and 75 miles of riding. Preorders start in September of 2017.
For over ten years, Pirelli and Tecnorib have collaborated to design three different boats. The newest and biggest in this line is the 1900, scheduled to be officially unveiled at the Cannes Yachting Festival. It measures 61 feet long and just over 16 feet wide, but despite its size, it still maintains a sporty feel, with a carbon fiber roof, twin 800 hp engines, surface-piercing propellers, and the inflatable rubber tube is adorned with tire threads in true Pirelli fashion. It tops out at around 52 mph, but recommended cruising speed is closer to 35 mph and also features two cabins, two bathrooms, and a central living area.
Designed for short trips on the sea, the Alen 45 Day Boat replaces the well-received 43-foot model in the yacht builder's lineup. The majority of the deck is coated in teak, while a grill, fridge, and wet bar let you cook up delicious meals. Interior space is kept to a minimum, yet there's still room for a bedroom, full-size bath, and small kitchen, and sunbeds on both the bow and stern offer plenty of space for relaxing outside. Powered by twin Volvo IPS 600 engines, it has a top speed of 38 knots and a range of 300 nautical miles, and the steep composite hull handles rough waters with aplomb.
Completely electric — and thus nearly silent — yet capable of extended voyages, the Trondheim Trawler is a one of a kind vessel. It comes in sizes ranging from 30 to 43 feet, with the ability to handle waves over 13 feet high and winds over 40 knots. Range per tank is over 900 miles in the smallest model and over 2,500 in the largest, and Scandinavian design means the interiors are as stylish as the outside.
In case you haven't noticed, the race to build a flying car is over. The race to define personal mobility has just begun. The Workhorse SureFly Personal Aircraft is a drone-like two-seater perfect for urban life. Eight independent motors power eight carbon fiber propellers, all run by a gasoline engine. There's a battery backup in case that fails, and a ballistic parachute for worst-case scenarios. With a range of up to 70 miles and a running time of one hour, it has the capability to make your morning commute way less obnoxious.
