Today we see a vast array of vehicles and modes of commuting.
And in each of these areas, we see a renaissance of innovation.
From scooters to planes, the scene is ever-evolving.
According to statista.com, there were almost 78 million motor vehicles produced in 2020
worldwide.
However, in the world of vehicles, personal transport is the most versatile and creative.
The work commute is a hard nut to crack, but there are plenty of options to help you.
This is the 10 Most Innovative Personal Transport

Thank you for watching, Mind's Eye Design!
Some people just want to see the world smile, and DC Trike is no exception.
They work to develop an easy-to-use three-wheeler perfect for those who have poor balance, disability,
or just want to have fun.
The stand-up design can reduce the pain associated with long-distance travel with a bicycle.
People of all kinds can enjoy an experience with the DC Trike.
If you are looking for a fun ride in the city or other flat areas, then the 250W version
is the one for you.
Of course, if you desire a little more, the 500W version offers increased motor size and
battery power.
The torque and enhanced power from this bad boy will take you where you want to go.
City commuting is undoubtedly a problem in many places in America.
That’s why FlyKly’s mission is to help alleviate those problems through intelligent
solutions and eco-friendly tech.
FlyKly says they promote a healthy lifestyle by creating perfect conditions to move around
urban areas.
The Smart Ped is their scooter variant solution to that problem.
A single kick can take you more than half a mile.
A 250W motor powers the sleek frame to a maximum of 22 miles.
That’s more than the average commute of an American at 16 miles, and with a charge
time of 2.5 hours, you can be sure to get home the same way.
If the Smart Ped entices you, but you just cannot justify the space for it, well, then
you’re in luck because they also offer a foldable version.
The only sacrifice is a slightly shorter minimum range of 15.5 miles.
I'm Allie and it's Mind's Eye Trivia Time.
By looking at just these images, do you know what this is and where it's from?

Founded in 2011, JIVR inspires to deal with the traffic congestion associated with city life.
After two years of research, they developed the world’s first folding, electric, chainless
bicycle.
Since then, they have branched out into other personal transport, such as the JIVR Electric
Scooter or our favorite from them, the JIVR Electric Scooter Plus.
The 350W from this seemingly innocuous has a modest speed of 15.5mph but with a boastful
25-mile range, well above the national average for a work commute.
For convenience and versatility, it is foldable and only weighs 33 pounds.
JIVR maybe doesn’t solve the city congestion problem, but it’s a good step to making
it easier on all of us.
Kirk Kirchev only had one thought in his head during his time with his fitter, more experienced
kayaker friends.
“Catamarans are faster and more efficient through water than monohulls!”
A few years later, after earning a product design degree, he ended up with his company
and product called the Super Kayak.
The slim, streamlined shape of the floats allows for a fast and effortless glide.
Speaking of fast, the Super Kayak has a cruising speed of 4mph and a maximum speed of 7mph.
You will get to your coastal destination in a jiffy.
And suppose your journey is a long one.
In that case, you can rely on the stable and elevated seating position for a comfortable
ride.
If you want more bang in your Super Kayak, you can also take the additional mast and
sail, motor and engine, or the solar drive.
What if there was a man who spent five years of his life on a sailing boat, devoted to
trying and enjoying every single possible floating device that exists?
What if that man then developed a “smart boat” with that experience in mind and a
crack team behind him?
The HYPAR Kayak is the world’s first smart boat that can be quickly transformed from
a kayak into a rowing, sailing, or even a solar-powered motorboat.
It’s constructed from high-end materials that make it light and durable.
Even Jochen Lottmann, Olympic/kayak world champion, approves of this innovative and
elegant take on the classic.
And when you need to take the HYPAR Kayak from sea to land with ease, it can be folded
into a backpack!
Bicymple is founded by Josh Bechtel in 2011 and caught traction in 2012 when Bechtel partnered
with Gabe Starbuck.
They had a very successful Kickstarter campaign.
They have since fulfilled all of their Kickstarter orders and are pretty close to production
with worldwide distribution.
The Bicymple Play is a single-speed bike that offers a good deal of challenge but allows
for the development of an engaging skill.
The freewheeling hub, front and rear-wheel hydraulic disc brakes, and the always-swinging
rear steer make for an endlessly fun ride.
Of course, the Bicymple Penny Farthing provides a more traditional, albeit unique ride.
You have a choice of single-speed or 2-speed, and the adjustability of the bike is a one-size-fits-most,
from those 5’3” to 6’5”.
Outrider is a company that develops and creates each one of its machines with purpose-driven
design in mind.
Quality is of utmost importance, and American manufacturing is chosen whenever it’s financially
responsible.
The Transition model gives all the performance you would expect from an Outrider at a more
accessible price.
If you need to commute in a populated urban environment, it has the power and speed to
keep up.
If you’re touring, it has an industry-leading range and charging rate.
If you want something to ride across the country in a compact and affordable joyride, the Alpha
is yours.
You can ride with pure electric power, pure pedal power, or even a perfect mixture of both!
For those that don’t mind stopping at a mud hole on your way to work, the Nomad delivers
a versatile ride with a top speed of 35mph.
You could easily use the Nomad as your primary mode of transportation, or maybe a joyride
or two.
Are you an off-road maniac who craves the feeling of dirt and sand being ripped into
the sky as you barrel down unleveled terrain?
If the answer is yes, then the Coyote is the perfect ride for you.
Featuring a robust and independent front and rear air-shock suspension, you will be able
to handle the most challenging terrain.
The Horizon Off-Road comes in four different models.
The All-Electric, Pedal and Electric, Tri-Pin Controls and Electric, and finally the Handcycle
and Electric.
You are absolutely spoiled for choice when you choose Outrider!
In 2017 the founders of EZ Electric Scooters explored the idea of creating a small venture
centered around their passion for electric scooters.
After much success, they have now teamed up to create a one-stop shop for different types
of electric bikes and scooters.
Superbly built and pleasant to look at, the EZ Retro Scooter displays a max speed of 18mph
but with an impressive 40-mile range on a single charge.
The 500W trans-axle motor is easily capable of propelling the 285-pound scooter and can
still hold a weight capacity of 400 pounds.
In addition to all the bells and whistles you could expect from a scooter of this caliber,
the EZ Retro Scooter also has a lockable rear storage compartment, large front basket and
under-seat storage, and an anti-theft alarm system.
Perhaps the most perplexing and unique design we’ve seen in a while, the Hamyak ATV was
assembled by Russian engineer Eduard Luzyanin.
Translated to Hamster, the Hamyak is named so because of its stature and its mobility.
This 150cc rodent rager strangely does not feature turning.
It is meant to be used similar to a skateboard, having the driver shift their body to turn.
Once you are pointed in the right direction, though, the Hamyak can sprint at 27mph, but
its lack of suspension may keep you from reaching those speeds.
It’s easily able to tow a standard-sized vehicle or car while only weighing 187 pounds.
This Hamster is sick of the wheel and craves the road!
Finally, we come to what we consider to be crème de la crème.
Built by Fuller Moto and commissioned by the Haas Moto Museum and Sculpture Gallery, the
2029 is an evolution.
It’s a futuristic electric bike built with a Zero Motorcycle FXS, a range of 100 miles,
and 78ft/lbs of torque as the foundation.
The 2029 possesses a fully enclosed aluminum body with hub-centric steering and clear polycarbonate
wheels.
It also has a small collection of titanium parts which were all 3D printed.
Titanium is one of the lightest and most efficient strength-to-weight ratio materials to 3D print,
making it ideal for a machine of the future.
As for design, inspiration was pulled from everywhere, including human bones.
Do you think the 2029 will be the future of motorcycles, or even vehicles as we know it?
