Roadtrips might be the classic way to see America, but we've always wanted to try a cross-country train trek, too. It takes a heck of a lot longer than flying, sure - but flying just doesn't get the same scenery. If you'd like to see the West Coast in it's scenic glory, then the Amtrak Coast Starlight is the train for you.
Wait a minute. Another new Range Rover? Jaguar Land Rover is aiming to reduce emissions and make all of their vehicles electric by 2020, and they've taken a good step in that direction with the new Range Rover Sport PHEV - only six years after originally announcing it.
It's not that we have anything against gas engines, by any means, but if there's any way to make an affordable, practical electric vehicle that drives just as well (and enjoyably) as its gas counterpart, our eyes are open. Volkswagen is listening, thankfully, and the 2017 version of their EGolf is starting to fulfill those criteria.
The fear is real. You invest $3,000+ in a bike and trusting it to a bike chain and tree is a bit unnerving. If a thief wants to steal your bike, he will find a way. However, now you will be able to track and locate your investment and hopefully find the criminal also. The Sherlock Anti-Theft Bike Tracker is a GPS enabled device that is hidden in the bike frame. Using your phone app, you can always know where your bike is located.
By now, we've seen bikes built out of just about anything; steel, carbon fiber, aircraft-grade aluminum, and even wood - that's not anything revolutionary. But there's never been a bike made out of whiskey casks before. Renovo, based out of Portland, has been pioneering the world of modern wooden bicycles, and they've just come up with the Renovo Glenmorangie Original, a gorgeous road bike made from Glenmorangie whiskey casks.
In a world that is (increasingly) full of luxury SUV's, few compare to the Cayenne Turbo. Don't get us wrong, BMW and Land Rover know how to compete, and it seems like their are constantly packing more and more horsepower into their beautiful machines. But when it comes to pure stately luxury and elegance combined with power, the Cayenne Turbo is a whole 'nother level.
We're pretty sure that everybody has always wanted a Segway. They're fast, fun and maybe just a little bit dorky, but let's be real - that's kind of the attraction of it. They're also not very practical. But if you've ever wanted your own Segway-esque device, or have ever dreamed of an electric unicycle, you're in luck. The Segway One S1 is just that.
VW has been busy in recent years in adding to their new SUV focused line, having added the big, spacious new Atlas to their lineup last year. And now they are complementing that with a smaller, compact SUV, the T-Roc. VW used the name “T-Roc” in the past, on a concept crossover, but they’ve now put it to good use in this sporty, 4-door compact SUV that fits right into an ever-growing market.
Got a need for speed? Then you really ought to get the Waylens Horizon. This baby is the tool you've been missing from your dash, a camera that records out your windshield at 1080p and 60fps, with a max aperture of f2.4 and 157 degree wide-angle lens.
If you do any kind of biking, helmets are important. To most of us, they may seem to be little more than an afterthought, but when it comes to protecting your head from a crash or accident, they should be anything but, and it's worth investing in a high-quality bike helmet. You're going to be wearing it a lot, too, so it should be comfortable and properly fitting. The vast majority of bike injuries and fatalities occur from falling or hitting your head, and a helmet offers the first - and most effective - line of protection from such injuries.The exact style of helmet you need will depend on a few things, but mainly, what you are using it for. The most common kinds of helmets are road, commuter and mountain bike helmets, though you may sometimes find some crossover or hybrids between the different types. But no matter what you're looking for, we've rounded some of the best bike helmets of 2017.
If you're into mountain biking but have never heard of Sklar, we don't blame you. Each and every Sklar bike is built to order and hand-crafted by Adam Sklar, a native of Bozeman, Montana (which seems to be a rising epicenter of high-quality, crafted goods these days).
The Kickstarter goal was met in less than a week because this thing is so cool! The Uno Bolt is the world's first e-unicycle AND e-bike that incorporates gyro force. So if you ever wanted to learn to ride a unicycle, you can start with the Uno Bolt and stay upright much longer. It's the quickest responding gyroscope to be put into a one wheel machine. The quick response is due to the with built-in stabilizer sensors. Pure genius!

Picture you and Billy Bib paddling across the lake as 10-year-olds. The boat wasn't the Pirelli Tecnorib 1900. Pirelli is probably one of the largest car tire manufacturers in the world. Sometimes the engineers act on thinking outside the box and create big, different products. Since rubber is Pirelli's raw material, it just made sense that they team up with Tecnorib, a rubber boat maker. The result, the Pirelliu Tecnorib 1900 is to be released at the 2017 Cannes Yachting Festival. This is not the first collaboration between Pirelliu and Tecnorib. They have created three boats over the past ten years; however, the sporty 1900 far exceeds any other creation to day.

However, the basic form was constructed with family outings in mind.
The only thing better than a skateboard is an electric skateboard, and the only thing better than an electric skateboard is one that can rip around dirt trails in the backcountry. So by that set of reasoning, the BajaBoard may be the best skateboard ever built. Constructed as an ATV crossed with a snowboard, the BajaBaord runs on your choice of either a 600Wh or 900Wh battery and can hit up to 31 miles per hour while zooming around the city or your local dirt trails. The large 10 inch pneumatic tires paired with independent suspension for each wheel allows the 4WD board to crunch over stumps and rocket off of jumps on rides as long as 18 miles. And for those who want realtime feedback on their speed, battery life, and throttle – the handheld remote boasts an LCD screen with feedback on all of the stats you could want. There’s even LED headlights and taillights to help you navigate through the dark.
#1 Game Changer and Award and we can see why. The Kormaran K7 Luxury Personal Watercraft is the new dimension in watercraft. Kormaran shows courage by implementing new ideas into practice, leaving usual paths and setting new standards. The result is the development of a new and highly complex class of boat. A revolution in boat construction. With the ability to operate as up to four different types of boats, the Kormaran K7 is a dream for those who fear commitment. With just the flip of a switch the carbon fiber monohull can extend one teak-topped boom out, turning it into a catamaran. The flip of another switch engages the same hydraulic stainless steel and titanium system to transform the boat again into a trimaran. And then for a more fuel efficient option – the K7 can extend hydrofoils beneath the two booms. To make all of this that much more impressive – the boat can do all of this while moving across the water. And move across the water it can. The 23 foot long boat boasts a 493 horsepower triple jet drive and an impressive 45 mile per hour top speed. Prices for this 2016 Salzburger Wirt Schafts Preis innovation prize winner are available on request. KORMARAN K7 will be a legendary and you are invited to configure the strictly limited First Edition individually to suit your requirements, thus making each and every Kormaran absolutely unique.
