Vanmoof 10 Electrified

View in gallery

If Vanmoof has their way, tomorrow’s urban commuter will be cruising through traffic with smart technology under the saddle. The Vanmoof 10 Electrified is a contemporary eBike with an integrated battery, GPS systems and smart power control at the rider’s fingertips. That integrated battery provides a pedal-assist for up to 80% more power than the rider’s legs alone. It will do so for up to 35 miles per charge, and its internal battery will recharge in less than 3 hours from a standard outlet. Alternatively, the rider can cruise without the pedal assist whenever they please, especially if they want to work off a heavy lunch. Look for more news from Vanmoof on the Vanmoof 10 Electrified later this year, when shipping and pricing details should hit the market. [via acquiremag ]

Designer Earl Stewart has created a 3D printed hybrid shoe that merges traditional shoe styling with state-of-the-art 3D printing technologies. The heel of Stewart’s “The Bits Shoe” features a white 3D-printed mesh that continues into a solid white outsole below. This contemporary edge is matched with a classical upper design, where leather pieces are stitched together for an old-meets-new kind of contrast. The traditional leather elements are fashioned with a bit of technology on their own, as each piece is laser cut and perforated prior to stitching. The result yields a killer set of high-tech kicks that we hope are on their way to market. As soon as they are, we’ll take a size 12, please.
