Thank you for watching Mind's Eye Design
Number Fifteen
Using 339 types of Lego Technic elements and taking over 13,000 work hours to build, the
Lego Bugatti.
This car is fully functional
and powered exclusively with motors from the Lego Power Function Platform.
The engine generates 5.3 horsepower and contains 2304 motors and 4032 Technic gear wheels.
Equipped with a speedometer, detachable steering wheel, front and back lights, a rear spoiler,
and brakes the Bugatti uses over 1 million Lego Technic elements.
Believe it, or not, this gets speeds of just over 12 miles per hour.
Number Fourteen
Stratolaunch, the world's largest airplane, which looks like two planes put together,
was founded in 2011 by Paul G. Allen, co-founder of Microsoft. Designed to carry 3 satellites
under its huge 385-feet wingspan the aircraft just completed its first flight earlier this
year.
Hoping to contend in the market for air-launching small satellites the giant 6-engine plane
hit speeds of 189 miles per hour and it got to 17,000 feet before landing safely.
When the plane reaches its 35,000-foot projected altitude, it releases the rockets so that
they can shoot out into space.
Number Thirteen
The only aerodynamically tested 300cc class electric scooter on the market, the Zapp i300,
is produced in the United Kingdom. Made of two single load-bearing piece aluminum chassis
members, and this makes this very lightweight.
The bike comes with two slim battery packs and can be charged anywhere. Superbike looks,
precise body control, and a permanent magnet motor give this fast acceleration,.
The Zapp, now available for pre-order.
Number Twelve
The world’s first fully 3D printed motorcycle, developed by BigRep a German 3D printing giant,
is called the Nera. It combines several innovations developed by Nowlab, including embedded sensor
technology, airless tires, and functional integration.
Everything except the electronics, the battery, and the rider are 3D printed including the tires,
handlebars, seat, suspension, and body.
There are no technical specifications right now and no launch info at this
time.
Number Eleven
We have featured the Microlino before in one of our videos, but since then it has passed
the 100-million-dollar mark in pre-order sales. Developed by Micro Mobility Systems, the electric
car is now being sold in Switzerland and will be sold in Germany sometime this year.
Produced in Italy, the eco-friendly bubble car designed with inspiration coming from
the BMW Isetta is not consider a car by Microlino, but the future of urban mobility.
The small electric car charges with any standard power socket, has bench seating for two, and
a door that opens in the front.
Number Ten
Manufactured in Beijing, the Evoke 6061 is an electric motorcycle more powerful than
Evokes original Urban Classic Model.
The bikes motor puts out 120 kilowatts, getting 200 foot-pounds of torque.
The Lithium-ion battery charges up to 80 percent in under 15 minutes and has a range of about
250 miles in the city. Evoke says that they are trying to get the 6061 on the market by the
end of this year.
Number Nine
Described as the first fully smart motorcycle for Zero Motorcycles the S/R F is the most
powerful electric bike they have released to date. A customizable dash, next-generation
app, and the Cypher 3 operating system let
the rider and motorcycle communicate to each other.
The bike comes with a ZF 14.4 lithium-ion battery, a motor that puts out 110 horsepower,
and gets a top speed of 124 miles per hour.
The unique combination of power, control, and connection makes this is equal parts muscle
and brains.
If you need a place to store your motorcycle outside, then the BikeBox24 is the thing for
you. Whether it's in public or at home this pod is the perfect solution.
Made from weather-proof plastic and galvanized steel this is secured with a lock and has
a built-in ventilation system to drain and divert water from the pod.

Having 10 models of recumbent trikes and quads, TrikExplor is based in China and is suitable
for all types of terrain.
The 4 by 4 Electric Recumbent Quad is specially designed for off-road.
A Fat Tire Recumbent is a cheaper model for those who don't need the 4-wheel drive and
has a shield on the front that keeps the wind out of your face.
Number Seven
Lush L1 is a Smart Urban Mobility Vehicle for short distance transportation improving
the environment with zero emissions and energy efficiency. Designed by Lush Motors, this
is a cross between a car and a three-wheeler.
It is an eco-friendly 2-seater running on electric power. The battery fully charges
within 1 and a half hours and gives the L1 a range of up to 75 miles on a single charge.
Trying to fill a gap in urban transportation in India, Lush Motors used a unique design
to create a new segment in the automobile sector
Number Six
Currently being assembled in Prescott Arizona, Eviation is manufacturing and flight testing
a 9-passenger, electric propeller powered airplane, the Alice Commuter. The all-electric
aircraft is designed to travel at a cruise speed of 240 knots for up to 650 miles.
The prototype will fly at the 2019 Paris Air Show
and expects to start commercial service by 2021.
Number Five
The Gacha is a self-driving bus launched by Sensible 4 and Japanese brand Muji. Revealed
just 5 months ago the shuttle bus made its first autonomous drive in March.
The 10-person bus can drive in all kinds of weather conditions including, fog, heavy rain,
and snow. This month the bus is expected to begin operating for the public in Espoo, Finland
before being rolled out in three other cities, later in 2019.
Number Four
Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire is the first American Electric motorcycle to use H-D Connect,
linking the bike to the rider with an app-controlled cellular connection.
The motorcycle does 0-60 in under 3.5 seconds, has a top speed of 110 miles per hour,
and you get instantaneous power
the moment you twist the throttle.

Looking like a massive drone with 4 propellers in 4 corners the Hoversurf Scorpion 3 is an
eVTOL that can fly for up to 40 minutes with a high speed of 50 miles per hour.
Made of lightweight carbon fiber, the S3 is lighter than the original aluminum body prototype.
The Hoversurf is controlled using left, and right joysticks and comes with a laser all-weather
LiDAR system, and an automatic takeoff and landing feature.
The S3 does not require aircraft certification or a driver’s license, and they are now
accepting down payments for a 2019 launch.
Another project by Hoversurf is the electric flying drone taxi called the Formula Project.
The Formula combines an airplane with a car to give it the best of both worlds. To be
safe, they also included the most advanced parachute, created by BRS Aerospace, for emergency
situations.
Number Two
More user-friendly systems, a more impressive performance, and an uncomplicated appearance
enhance the riders experience on the MCR 2, manufactured by OTTO.
This bike has better stability, a revamped braking system,
and increases the original range from around
38 miles to 136 miles.
Unfortunately, Otto has not specified a release date at this time.
Number One
The F-Helix Helicopter is not only for personal use but can is used for agriculture, load
transportation, and medical emergencies. The copter is a 4-seater and runs on a dual E-Fan
Engine.
Having no tail or tail rotor, this takes up less space on the launch pad, although it
does have a maximum take-off weight of 1900 pounds. You get a range of 175 miles on the
lithium-ion battery.
An app for Navigation helps show flight level ground altitude, ground speed, and flight
plan. You can also find the best flight plan, show control zones, prohibited zone alerts,
and avoid route collision.
