Commuting long distances become a possibility only because of high speed vehicles that every person is quite fond of. Unfortunately, these same vehicles are the cause for the high number of road accidents and loss of life. In an ideal world, vehicles would transport us to the desired locations with zero safety risk.
The ideal world of tomorrow may be here today. General Motors in collaboration with scooter maker Segway brings you a two wheeled electric vehicle which promises to be accident free. The two seater vehicle intends to take over from the world of cars making them obsolete. The PUMA project (Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility) involves a communication system that allows vehicles on the road to interact with each reducing the possibility of traffic jams and accidents. The futuristic looking vehicle is powered by a lithium-ion battery and can cruise at speeds of 35mph. On a single charge, the vehicle can go up to 35 miles.

With the increased attention to the earth and saving energy, especially post the Vote Earth drama, the desire to participate actively in increasing the longevity of Earth’s life has been heightened a lot. With this also is heightened the desire to stop commuting in cars and choose eco-friendly bikes.
The Ultra Motor A2B Bike is a unique hybrid bike which can be powered by manual pedalling or using the lithium ion battery. The bike becomes ideal for slightly long trips, allowing you to save energy and use it like a non-motor bike by pedalling and giving your body some extra exercise and shifting to the battery powered motor when the going gets tough. With the motor, the bike can hit speeds of 20mph. If this isn’t fast enough for you, you can attach another battery and go twice the speed. Attached disc brakes increase safety and reduce possible risks due to the enhanced speed.
