We live in the age when cars are getting smaller and smaller, to the point of becoming three wheeled vehicles. If the four-wheeler segment is undergoing dramatic changes in product production, so is the two-wheeler part of automobile industry too.
Mileage, looks, power, or whatever you call, a great amount of research is happening on the motorcycles and scooters front. How would you react then, to a motorcycle that defies the notion of two wheels and metamorphosizes into a four-wheeled rarity your eyes may not quite be used to?
Would you call it a motorcycle? Technically motorcycles are supposed to have just two wheels. Cars are supposed to have four. The 2010 Cosmos 4RW V8 Muscle Bike is at times bizarre looking and at other times looks like a fusion of some kind. It stretches out longer than a normal motorcycle does, it has a 350 cubic inch engine, which also has 350 horsepower. And has, four wheels. Four big wheels with two in the front, two in the back, except that the pairs look stuck together.
You may be able to ride it only if you are big in size. The advantage is that two big wheels will not let you fall for lack of balance. The wheels measure 17-inches. And the price is: $93,200.

Parking woes and traffic congestion are a bane of our generation. But that they will get more intense as the years pass, is something all of us live in the dread of. True that technology research is moving in the direction of compact cars. Metromorph fits the urgent need just right, and takes care of the traffic and parking woes bit. It’s a concept straight out of the sci-fi movies, where vehicles can move up a building up vertically. The concept car has been made by designer Roman Mistiuk.
While one of its key functions is to ease traffic congestion in big cities, it takes care of the dearth of parking space availability to residents of apartment buildings in a big metropolitan area, just as business districts can sit pretty with the ease in parking woes.
This car, can ride smooth on the roads, has two in-wheel motors on its rear besides two battery cases, its wheels are hidden inside the structure, has rotating arms that can help a vertical and horizontal drive. The car, can ride vertically in what they call the Balcony mode, meaning, it turns 90 deg to become a balcony.

Are you ready to welcome a new entrant or a toy to your garage? Even if you aren’t I propose you to consider the GG Quad, a custom-built four-wheel motorcycle motorized by a 1,130cc BMW engine. The 95 hp GG Quad races from 0 to 60 mph within five seconds and tops out at 115 mph. Must say, it offers a great power for a quad. The highly visible car wheels enable quad attain a prominent street look along with a variety of custom preferences detailing innovative paint jobs, elective side storage sheet, and BMW steering systems.
The framework on the GG Quad is made from garrison aluminum and weighs 880 lbs. But like I always say luxury never comes cheap, so following this this deluxe quad also demands $49,500.
