Fresh hacks every day
This tiny little scratch-built electric tricycle is a insanely powerful. Some might think you don't need a crash helmet for testing a trike, but seeing the video after the break where [Ben Katz] is flying through a parking garage while slaloming between the support beams proves that this ride has some pep to it. Looking through the presentation post linked above is fun, but when we started … [Read more...]
