Did you know that around eight point two million motorcycles are registered in America?
However, out of all those American machines, classic
and new, none are like what we are covering in this video.
Come along as we go over a two-wheel-drive electric
utility bike that stores fuel in its huge tires.
And stick around until the end of the video for a look at our honorable mentions.
Let's get to it!

RoboSystems is a Russia-based company,
but they moved production to Dubai when Putin started the war in Ukraine.
Their previous creation was an off-road wheelchair, so those who have difficulties
walking could still enjoy a stroll through the woods if they so desired.
Their current project is the Ultra Bike,
which promises to be something more than just your run-of-the-mill motorcycle.
When looking at the chassis for the Ultra Bike, it's actually pretty simple in design.
But there are two big things about the Ultra Bike that are very interesting,
and I bet you can guess what those are.
That's right, the tires on this off-roading monster can
not only tackle anything from the sticks to mud to snow and more.
Each wheel has a brushless DC motor with a peak output of two kilowatts,
which brings the bike's top speed to a moderate thirty miles per hour.
The interesting part is that the wheel rims can house up to five-point three gallons of fuel
or water or any other liquid you want to take.
A one-point six-kilowatt battery is kept safe in a waterproof pack. It is designed to last more than
two thousand cycles in temperatures from negative four to one hundred and forty degrees Fahrenheit.
Usually, that is good for around forty miles of drive time,
but you can squeeze out more range with the single-wheel-drive power-saving mode.
There is also space in the frame of the Ultra Bike for an inverter or generator.
So that you can charge up the battery on the go for even more distance.
Or you could use it to power other tools or equipment if need be.
It all comes back because that generator can then be powered by the fuel you're
storing in the wheel rims. It's like they thought of everything!
And if traversing nearly any sort of off-road environment wasn't enough for you,
there are optional fifty-gallon balloons you can attach to the bike.
To sail you and your one hundred and twenty-one-pound bike across the water.
If you are interested in the Ultra Bike, the company sells the bike, the balloons,
the inverter, and the generator. All for around two thousand and six hundred dollars on Indiegogo.
The bike itself is going for around one thousand eight hundred dollars if you just want that.
As always, thank you for watching, and we hope you enjoyed the video.

This exciting hybrid touring-bike-slash-mini-camper
is built around a large aluminum ring, or "circle," if you will.
Austrian Inventor Bernhard Sobotta finished his Bachelor of Industrial Design at Austria's FH
Johanneum University of Applied Sciences. His final thesis simply asked the question.
"Is it possible to integrate overnight accommodation on a bicycle?".
The answer to that question is the Cercle.
Inside the circle is a flat-packed aluminum module known as the Camping Companion. While functioning
as a bicycle, these unique hanging handlebars are connected to the front wheel via steering cables.
This contraption converts into a chair, table, or cot.
Mechanical engineer Alex Desmond has always been interested in cycling.
Still, his foray into handi-accessible adaptive bikes was actually prompted by a personal tragedy.
A close friend of Alex, the person who taught him how to ride a motorbike as a teenager,
was permanently disabled after suffering a stroke.
Alex would spend several years developing a rugged adaptive mountain bike prototype
that would give freedom to cyclists who use wheelchairs.
Enter the Phase AD3 from Orange.
The first thing you’ll notice is two independently
suspended front wheels steered together by a custom-engineered cantilever linkage system.
This allows each wheel to lean independently into corners,
increasing traction and preventing the AD3 from tipping over when turning.
Additionally, a balance handlebar attached to the linkage allows
riders to maintain stability at low speed or when they come to a stop.
This helps for another reason as well. Many wheelchair users
have trouble getting in and out of vehicles.
The added balance handlebar means that exiting and entering the AD3
can be done quickly and without any assistance.
Closing in on our number one, we nearly come to the end of the video.
Of course, we still have one more e-bike to wow you, so let’s not dally any longer.
Civilized Cycles is a global team comprised of various talents in the industry.
They say their mission is to make the most “civilized” bikes globally for the world.
Through a lengthy design process that took many people worldwide to help build,
Model 1 was created.
The Model 1 is a deep step-thru design that almost seems to be wearing a skirt of some sort.
With the larger rear of the e-bike comes a second seat for a passenger!
That skirt happens to be an integrated set of panniers for storing groceries,
equipment, or anything else you may need for up to 50 pounds of storage.
And whether the road you ride is made of dirt, littered with
potholes, or any other less-than-ideal terrain, the Model 1 has you covered.
This practical EV has automatic full-suspension that will adjust to any hiccup on the road.
The 750 Watt motor is powered by a 10.5Ah battery.
If you pick up the optional secondary battery, the Model 1 has more than an apt range of 50 miles.
Like most e-bikes, the speed will top out at 28mph, which is the average legal limit.
If you want your own Model 1 from Civilized Cycles, they are selling for $4,500.
