Smart Wheels – Part II

November 20, 2013November 14, 2013

Yesterday, the thorium-powered car.  Today the seemingly more immediately likely motorized bike.

WheelTug is a big wheel — and old news to readers of this column.  FlyKly is a small one.  Both could be big deals.  And FlyKly doesn’t even require FAA certification.

It’s a little nuts that China is replacing rickshaws and bicycles with millions of cars (and asphyxiating smog), while New York is moving to Citi bikes and pedicabs and now, soon, perhaps, FlyKly wheels.  But leaving that aside (I am slated to be in China as you read this, but was in New York as I wrote it), you gotta watch this five minute best Kickstarter video ever (from which they’ve already raised nearly five times their goal).

Quote of the Day

"Midas called himself a happy man, but felt he was not yet quite so happy as he might be. The very tip-top of enjoyment would not be reached, unless the whole world were to become his treasure room, and be filled with yellow metal which should be all his own."

Nathaniel Hawthorne (King Midas and the Golden Touch)
