Hasta La Gadget!

We all want to ditch our gas-guzzling vehicles in search of a cleaner and less expensive option. Sadly, most of what’s on the market has an initial cost that is so high that it’s not worth it. The other issue being that most of them can’t go very far.

If you’re wanting to switch to an electric bike, but are concerned about the range, then the Johammer J1 might be an option. If you have the money to make the change that is, seeing that it costs around $31,600. This can charge in close to four hours, which will be the equivalent of 125 miles. This can go anywhere from 30-60+ miles an hour, which isn’t too bad compared with most.

The rearview mirror has high-resolution displays that will show all relevant driving information you would need to know while on the road. Probably the best part, which will be a drawback to some, is that this has a completely silent motor, meaning you’ll be able to hear the birds sing as you cruise down the road. This is available in silver, white, blue, yellow, and green, and looks like a blend between new and old world. It has a brush-less AC-motor with a single-level gear, both running in oil bath with lifetime lubrication, and is maintenance free. Regardless of all its snazziness, it still costs a boatload of money, and won’t be useful year-round.

Boy, I’m aching for summer. I’ve had about all I can take of the cold weather, and snow. I can feel the sand between my toes, feel the cool umbrella drinks in my hand, and I can smell the suntan lotion. How cool would it be to have a little boat, or a jet ski? But then you have to get a trailer, figure out how to back it into the water, or pay to store it at a dock somewhere, and with all that work, how much are you going to really use it?

Well, check this out! The Bomboard, weighing it at only around 150 pounds, is the worlds first completely modular watercraft, designed to come apart into 4 different pieces, allowing you to break it down, and stow it in your backseat, or the trunk of your car! In less than a minute the BomBoard can be assembled (or disassembled) into four small, light weight modules that are easily transported by just one person. The Bomboard can be ridden in a standing, kneeling or sitting position, is highly maneuverable, and it can reach wind-in-your-hair speeds of up to 40 mph.

Because BomBoard is lighter than most jet skis, it hooks you up with faster acceleration. Bomboard also boasts a tighter turning radius for faster turns, and because the machine is closer to the water, you get to feel the speed and exhilaration even more than with your traditional jet ski. With a low operating cost, and a price tag under 3,500 bucks (or 99 dollars a month) it makes summertime fun affordable to more people than ever before. If you’d like to get out on the water someday, visit bomboard.com and get on the waiting list. Unfortunately, it looks like they won’t be shipping until next spring.

If you live just close enough to work that walking would be a pain, there’s a good chance you use a train, bus, cab, or your own method instead of hoofing it. It’s not that walking is a terrible thing, it just often takes up more time or energy than we have in the mornings. If using a bicycle or skateboard is a bit too labor-intensive for you, but you’d rather rely on your own ways of getting to work, there are options out there that require little effort from you.

While a Segway is a valid option, it’s mainly meant for sidewalks, and in all honesty looks a bit silly. If you’ve ever considered a motorbike, but don’t want to have to pay high prices for gas, then the FEDDZ might seem fairly appealing. This is a an electric motorcycle that is closer in size to a bicycle, but has no pedals to fuss with. There are front and rear lights as well as turning signals, and the entirety of this bike runs off of a Lithium-ion battery, which takes about 4-5 hours to recharge after it has been drained. It is easy to remove, and has no cables to get tangled. Simply remove, plug into a wall outlet, replace, and be on your merry way.

There are two different types of bikes available, the lower end of the spectrum being able to go about 16mph, and the higher end being able to go 28 miles per hour. In either category, there are options for the battery which are called Eco and Premium, which have around a 44-68 mile driving range respectively. On any bike, there are three speed options to choose from, a display to show you your speed, time, and distance, as well as brakes on the handlebars. The prices for these e-bikes is anywhere from $8,200-10,000+.

I know that some folks take up golfing as a sport in order to lose some weight and beef up their fitness stats, but something tells me that it is not going to burn all that many calories as opposed to a more vigorous activity such as swimming, running or cycling. Well, golf has also been associated as a sport that has relatively high entry costs, making it a “rich man’s game” if you will. Hence, it is a no-brainer for us to come across this $4,500 Ride On Golf Cart Scooter.

The Ride On Golf Cart Scooter so happens to be a powered golf cart scooter which is capable of transporting golfers from one point to another, allowing them to conserve energy for their game. The scooter itself sports a couple of 400-watt electric hub motors in the rear wheels which will propel the unit up to a top speed of 11 mph, and you will be able to make a turn simply by shifting your weight in the direction that you would like to go, pretty much like how a Segway operates. The handlebars will feature a forward throttle, reverse button, and a brake lever that would do its bit in slowing you down to a stop via the dual disk brakes. It is capable of climbing up to a 20° incline without breaking a sweat, and you ought to find it comfortable enough to ride on thanks to its oil-damped shock absorbers and four pneumatic tires. There should be enough battery life to last all 27 holes.

We live in an age where everything needs to be done as fast as possible so you can move on to the next order of business. Inconveniences do happen, but thankfully there are loads of gadgets to help you with spontaneous interruptions to your day. There are even gizmos that will help you air up a tire or blow up an inflatable jungle gym in a short span of time.

For smaller fixes, we normally rely on a hand-pump, and have to move between that and a pressure gauge. If you’d prefer to get things taken care of with just one tool, then the Airman High Performance Air Compressor will get the job done. This requires little to no effort on your part aside from attaching this to the nozzle. It has a gauge that will make sure you don’t overdo it, and will stop automatically if need be.

These sort of things are great time-savers, but they do cost a pretty penny. You’re looking at putting down around $70 if you’re in need of a tool like this. The bright side is that you won’t need to buy batteries often as it uses a rechargeable Li-Ion battery, and charges through a wall plug. It’s easy to carry around as it comes with a travel bag, which means you can have it handy for those emergency situations.
