That’s right… Over the course of 18 months, Frank Ohle figured out all of the ridiculously improbable steps involved in turning his chopper into a plane/motorcycle hybrid — that includes fitting a custom chassis, painting, suspension and electronics — and ended up with an absolutely insane, incredibly noisy nine-cylinder super-nut-job bike.

This is a man who doesn’t ask why but rather WHY NOT?

Ok so it is not exactly like the ‘million’ dollar Batpod built by Parker Brothers Choppers, but those guys are professional bike builders with a slightly larger budget. Just take into consideration this version was built by a young mechanic who only had access to various cheap scrap parts and used only images and the Dark Knight films as reference.

And on that note…Good job!

From the minds of Bob Basset, AKA Ukrainian steampunk fetish mask-makers…some slightly terrifying, but awesome leather masks, backpacks and shoes.
Bob Basset is workshop of unique, high-quality art pieces made by Petrov and his team from Ukraine. Many of things are created from leather, artists have 20 years experience in this field and have crafts from stones, metal, resin, glass and many other materials.

Can you just imagine pulling up to a stop light…glancing over to the left of you…and the guy on the bike is wearing one of these masks a pair of those shoes and that backpack?!

Powered by a 1000W, 48V electric motor, the bike has a range of 90 miles. Reflective exterior almost disappears and the rider silently floats uncomfortably along the streets. But wait, there’s more: all of the ride-related data, including speed and GPS, is displayed on the riders’ smartphone through downloadable apps.

Aside from its somewhat ridiculous name, designer Imran Othman claims the Dyke is inspired by Dyson’s Air Multipliers and works of the same principles.

Air flows through the bronze hollow cylinder creating an entrainment. The air is then pulled, and amplified by 1000000 times, which pushes the bike upwards (stability) and forward (speed), all powered by electricity.

If the Dyke ever comes to fruition, you can expect to pay a hefty price…have you seen how much Dyson vacuum cleaners are going for?

Inspired by ‘musculature’, designer Min Seong Kim claims that the whole body is made up of materials that stretch and contract just like the muscles in your body do, thus enabling steering without any kind of assistive apparatus.

When turning a corner, the entire body relaxes so that it can smoothly corner, and when accelerating, it contracts to form a rigid body. It also looks like the windshield doubles as an illuminated instrument panel…yup I want.

Although it does have a Predator-ish-like mouth, the Bangkok artist used recycled materials from old cars and bicycles to create a monster machine which is sculpted to look like an Alien. Roongrojna Sangwongprisarn, 54, has four shops across the country – named the Ko Art Shop – and exports his creations to clients all over the world.

Unfortunately, the fear of decapitation would keep me off this bike. Let see Senior (OCC) try to top this!

In Uno mode, the vehicle is a dicycle that balances on a single pair of parallel wheels, enabling unmatched nimbleness with an extremely tight turning radius. At high speeds, a middle wheel deploys forward and the outer wheels shift backwards.

Unfortunately the battery powered, zero emissions Superbike maxes out at a dismal 30 MPH – classifying it as a scooter.
