Carbon Fiber

As it is, a recumbent trike is something that may already get you noticed. Add tilting wheels, and it'll draw even more attention. But with its telescoping carbon-fiber-tube body, the Allroadracer TriX is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.

Austrian ebike maker Esel brings its award-winning ash wood frames to city streets for the first time. The new eUrban comes in two builds, and makes a compelling bet that wood is the smartest material for urban riding.

Could tiny threads of carbon fiber do the same job as big metal industrial heating coils? A new breakthrough from researchers at Rice University says yes, and the finding could go a long way toward electrifying many manufacturing processes.

Unlike conventional fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites which last decades, UNC’s FRP composites could last 500 years. The breakthrough technology is not only stronger, but electrically melts a “healing” substance that seeps into damaged areas.

Swiss engineering company Picasso has mostly made its name with super sports cars and hypercars. Now It’s come up with a flat tracker motorcycle that features an adjustable carbon frame – which makes perfect sense for flat tracking.

Let's be honest … a lot of the underwater scooters we've seen lately are basically glorified pool toys. Such is not the case with SeaNXT's Elite, however, as it features a carbon fiber body, GPS navigation, and a top speed of 21 km/h (13 mph).

It may be mostly used for packaging, but cardboard is a surprisingly capable building material in the right hands, as highlighted by Shigeru Ban Architects with its eye-catching Blue Ocean Dome, which was created for Expo 2025.

Very few cross-industry partnerships have been a marketing success story like the Ducati-Lamborghini collab. Now comes the 3rd motorcycle in the series, the Panigale V4 Lamborghini, inspired by the Revuelto, Lambo's first plug-in hybrid sports car.

Though it has dabbled in other materials, Urtopia is best known for its carbon fiber bikes. Now the young maker has added a fat-tire utility ebike to its stable, which is being pitched as a "head-turning, cargo-carrying, joy-spreading machine."

Many cyclists are riding blind and risking serious injury, with more than than one in 10 having experienced an accident that they found was due to a structural failure undetected in the bike. Researchers are calling for more stringent testing of bikes.

Some electric skateboards are nice sedate things, designed for leisurely commutes on city sidewalks. The Mach One isn't one those boards. It boasts a Formula 1 racecar-inspired design, a carbon deck, and a top speed of 45 mph (72 km/h).

German bike maker Ponomarets has launched a gorgeous carbon road bike called the Eidolon. Riding with a lightweight motor and battery, and fashioned from carbon fiber and "high-end curated components," the ebike weighs in at under 10 kilos.
