1:00PM Nick Broughall | I don’t know what part of this story I find more appealing: The Di Blasi R7 folding motorcycle, which weighs just 29.8kg, travels at 50kph and has a 50cc engine; or the fact that the distributor’s have created a company called Scoot2You, which rides one of these bikes out to you and your car after a few too many drinks and then drives you home.

10:34AM Jason Chen | Not that there’s anything inherently wrong with riding a scooter, but only one of us at Gizmodo proudly admits to owning one. Maybe if Jenny Silverwoman had one of these roving Wi-Fi hotspots capable of “long distance war driving, GPS navigation, Skype calls…and the ability to record TV programs,” that’d really be something for her to brag about. Or, you know, cry when it would get stolen really quickly. [Thougtlab via MAKE] More »

Cargo Scooter Concept is Moped With a Hole
7:24PM Gizmodo US Edition | “Oh!” you may say, thinking the Cargo scooter/moped concept by designer Elliot Ortiz is craziness exemplified. But listen: mopeds are a good solution in many places across the world, taking up less road space than cars and being cheap to run. One thing they lack is load-bearing abilities, and that’s what Elliot’s design is supposed to fix. Taking a few design cues from the classic Vespa, it’s got that huge hole in the chassis which allows you to sling narrow loads inside. There’s even a DHL scooter concept in the gallery. I can’t help but wonder about stability of the thing, but it’s a neat bit of lateral thinking. Should it remain a concept? What do you think, guys? [Tuvie via Techeblog] More »
