Today, being eco-friendly and conservative looms as two of the big issues we all have to address. For the commuter, getting places with the least cost has become a dilemma and while others would advise you to take public transportation perhaps we can take our cue from London which makes use of E-Bikes that run on battery to get places.
It may be likened to the standard electric car but if you are traveling all by your lonesome, save room and tr

It has been reported in most parts of the world that pedal power is the new alternative way to get to places. However, there are some people who may not be able to appreciate the leg power that modern bikes provide but this new solar powered bike called the Cycle Sol can perhaps fix all of that.
The Cycle Sol is in the concept stage but Mr Miljevic hopes to be able to mass-produce it once he has found a manufacturer.
He said: “It is just li

With the price of fuel going up all of the time, it seems that the electric bike is becoming one of the world’s hot properties. Amazon the online sales store has reported that sales of electric bikes have increased by six thousand per cent this year alone.
In fact there were over ten thousand electric bikes sold during 2007, which is staggering and just goes to prove that these bikes although fairly expensive, they start at around $1,500 the e

We all know that bikes are great. They are green and keep you fit! This one designed by Matt Clark is even greater than the average bike because it is made from plastic and can be totally recycled!

It is surprising that something like this has not been done before. The idea is easy enough, it is just a matter of putting it into practice. Of course, it would have been a lot better if it had been made by using recycled plastic, but there is

Imagine visiting a city for the first time, normally at some point a cab ride is needed, but not only are cabs expensive but they are not at the top of the eco friendly league either. That is unless you are visiting the capital city of Ireland, Dublin. Here you will find the greenest taxis and to top it all they are totally free, how great is that?
The Ecocab is human powered, the driver uses the cycle device to get the thing moving, but there

If you talk about sustainable transportation these days it will point towards the healthy and pollution free assistance of good old bicycles. Today, we hear them as the next best thing when it comes to getting places and apparently the ones who have started doing them are the famous celebrities that are familiar to most of us.
Over on the new fabulous HuffPost Green, Olivia Zaleski has put together a massive collection of one hundred photos of

Sometimes it is hard to demarkate between eco friendly and supermarkets. The two have hardly ever been compatible due to the fact that they both operate at different sides of the spectrum. However, recently, supermarket leaders have realized that they could be missing out on some valuable business by not making any green moves. That is all about to change.
The Waitrose chain of supermarkets has traditionally catered to the upper crust section

Tyres and inner tubes are a nightmare for the environment and yet as with many things that are not good for us or the planet, we really cannot do without them. The solution is to make them into other useful things such as these Zero Cellphone Cases.
Because they are made from inner tubes, that makes the cellphone cases strong and totally waterproof, they are being sold at $25 for the case, $12 for carrying strap and $8 for the cellphone cleaner.

It was originally designed to be a bike to prevent people from stealing it, after all who on earth is going to want to steal a bike made out of cardboard? Clearly the designer, who is studying Product Design at Sheffield Hallam University, in the UK had not checked out the desires of green minded people.
A bike is stolen every seventy one seconds in the UK, but if they were all made from this design then it would easier to replace and less lik

The problem with getting on your bike that despite all fresh air and fitness that it provides is that unlike your car there is no practical on board entertainment, until now that is!
This is the “Sound from Wind” is sound system for the bike which is powered by the wind, now clearly this is not the same as having a CD player as the music that you get is going sound a little like a wind chime.

People are now aggressively looking for green transportation alternatives owing to the outrageous oil prices that have beset us today. While many would not want to shy away from their usual convenient luxury cars, the shift is direly needed if they are to survive the world and help promote an alternative way of getting from one place to another.
For local folks, electric scooters are slowly being an option. These are slowly being unleashed in t

It would seem at first that the words plastic and eco should not really be made within the same sentence, but in this we are going to have to make an exception which will break all of the rules. As cycling becomes very popular in the cities a good bike is what’s needed.
But the designer of the Izzy City Bike, Omer Sagiv has made this bike to be good for the rifer too, by encouraging them to sit properly as well as being designed to look pleasi

I just read the scariest post evah, lawyer guy Al Nye writes in his blog, that a chief energy advisor mentions that the gas prices we are seeing today of $4- $5 per gallon of gas, are in the near future gonna be known as “the good ole days”.

Yes this is one! This is where you get to build your own solar powered scooter, it looks simple enough and in fact this scooter is actually street legal and will travel at least five miles on one charge.
The builder uses it regularly for work, which is five miles away, once at work he unfolds the solar wings which then charge up the batteries. Before you start shouting out “How can I build one?” there are full plans on the Build It Solar web

The way that we think of bike has been totally rethought using some really hi tech designs and ideas, but it is hard to think why we would be interested in this, well it is simple this bike represents a new era in personal transport.
The Strida from Area Ware works around a triangular frame, which means it, has strength as well as agility, because it will fold down flat making the bike totally portable in just five seconds. Now you have a light,

This is a great bag for people who just love to use their bikes for shopping, but as anyone would know who has tried this, it is very hard to go shopping and carry all of this stuff back home while trying to ride the bike as well.
However there is a neat little bag from Hen and Hammock, that fits neatly onto the front of the handle bar and that has been made from recycled materials too, which makes the whole thing really good for everyone.

How cool is this? This motorcycle is made using recycled parts and looks like something that stepped out of a Mad Max movie. Very rugged and future earth like. I love it. The bike takes use of recycled computer and VCR parts as part of its construction.
This project is part of the recycled computer art from the guys and gals over at AlexandRomeda. Recycled art is what they specialize in. What do you think?
