- [Glen] Life is all about moving around,
and how we can get from point A to point B
in the quickest and even the most fun way.
People are always inventing new ways to do this,
and we like to check them out any chance we get.
This is Glen, and today we are bringing you
15 transport vehicles that make mobility accessible and fun.
- [Narrator] Number 15.
- [Glen] This new electric cargo scooter,
the RAPIDE 3 by Gaius Auto,
was unveiled at the 2018 Paris Motor Show,
and fuses together the classic three-wheel design,
with the latest in battery technology.
Combining the cargo capacity of a light truck,
and the agility of a scooter,
the RAPIDE 3 Cargo Scooter
has multiple rear cargo options
from refrigerated cargo holds to open beds.
The RAPIDE 3 is equipped with a new type
of lithium ion battery called lithium titanate,
allowing it to charge up to 80% in just 15 minutes.
It can haul up to 440 pounds of cargo
at a top speed of 59 miles per hour,
with a range with up to 65 miles
from its 5.2 kilowatt hour battery.
- [Narrator] Number 14.
- [Glen] Having room for two people plus cargo,
the Screecher is a bioelectric hybrid pedal cycle
with solar charging, five levels of pedal assist,
regenerative breaking, and 4 wheel drive positraction
with a front and rear differential.
Two 350 watt electric motors will go
from zero to 15 miles per hour in five seconds.
And with the pedal assist,
you can probably get there quicker.
This comes with a 12.8 amp power 48 volt lithium ion battery
than can be charged with either solar panels
or by plugging it in, and has a range of 20 miles.
Available for pre-order, this has a cost
of $2500 and the first shipments are expected
in January of 2019.
- [Narrator] Number 13.
- [Glen] Designed by Japan based company Daga,
the Stroke is a new electric cargo tricycle
that was recently shown off at the Tokyo Wonder Festival
after 18 months of development.
Unlike most electric cargo bicycles,
the Stroke houses a large enclosed trunk
in the middle of the bike, surrounded by the frame.
The trunk is removable, allowing the rider
to use it on the go, like a large rolling suitcase.
With two wheels in the front instead of the rear,
the design means that it becomes more stable
when loaded up.
And with the tilting mechanism built into the frame,
the trike leans into turns like a two-wheeled bicycle.
- [Narrator] Number 12.
- [Glen] Drymer is an innovative transportation
concept of new transportation designed,
produced, and mounted in the Netherlands.
These gliders come standard with a 250 watt motor
and have a tilting mechanism
on the front two wheels for turning.
The Drymer Business has several options
like leather seating, an iPad mount,
navigation, a USB charger for mobile devices,
and a luggage compartment which is lockable.
This also has an aerodynamic hood
that comes in either metallic gray
or a black design.
The Drymer Basic is the start model from Drymer.
It's possible to adjust all types of options on this model,
while the Drymer Leisure comes with exclusive options
including several color choices, leather seating,
a portable device charger,
and diverse types of navigation lights.
- [Narrator] Number 11.
- [Glen] The Chainless, created by Sean Chan,
features a unique riding position
where the cyclist doesn't sit in the middle of the bike.
It also has a series of tungsten gears
designed to replace the typical chain.
This bike has a super light frame
crafted out of aircraft grade aluminum alloy,
weighs 25 pounds, and comes in a range of colors.
There is also an S1F model that is foldable
and takes up half the space.
Unfortunately, they didn't make their Kickstarter goals
and are moving on to further development.
The unreleased versions are now up for sale.
They have five for sale priced between $800 and $1000.
- [Narrator] Number 10.
- [Glen] The Velofeet was designed by
Scottish inventor Manual Alvarez-Icaza.
He uses the body's natural movements to propel it.
The top speed is about a jogging pace.
You lean to change direction
and when you lean back on the seat, the brakes come on.
This is ideal for use in cities and towns
being more efficient than a unicycle or a bicycle
and easier to use.
Climbing hills may be a problem,
but it is light to carry uphill
and will go downhill quite quickly.
Eventually, Manual wants to have a sports version
for playing games like soccer or basketball.
- [Narrator] Number Nine.

largest automotive companies in India,
is building a production factory for their

- [Glen] Master Designer Lucio Marabese,
the man behind the Piaggio MP3 and the Yamaha Tesseract,
designed the Qooder for Swiss Company Quadro.
This is the first and only vehicle in the world
with four tilting wheels
combining the thrill of a motor bike
with the stability of a car.
It offers safe and instinctive driving
thanks to the double hydro pneumatic system,
or hydraulic tilting system,
where the four wheels tilt simultaneously
always maintaining its grip on the road.
This has a centrally placed 400cc engine
with integrated differential for double rear traction
