Rotating Sphere Lounger - Globetrot in your own backyard!

Now that’s relaxing in style!

Relaxing in your landscaped gardens with a cup of coffee and loved ones can be therapeutic when you are stressed out. Gazebos are a thing of past as garden loungers take over to create cozy spaces. If you are looking for one, check out the Rotating Sphere Lounger and see if you like it. The lounger which is 2.4 m in diameter looks like a nested globe with slots to offer you a peek into your green landscape when you need to. The sections are made of pressure-treated pine laminates and polycarbonate goes into the making of slotted windows. Inside the cocooned space is a metallic table and built-in padded seating to make you comfortable. Cost? £6,850.

E-V - Sunny Solar Powered Electric Bike

The E-V Sunny is supposedly the first all solar electric bike and it manages to harness enough of the sun’s rays by incorporating solar panels into the wheels. Well to be more specific the solar panels are more like hubcaps that cover the spokes but they apparently have enough surface area to maintain a constant charge to the batteries which in turn power a 500 watt motor on the front wheel.

The bike can reach a fairly impressive top speed of about 19 mph but the solar cells, battery and other electronics give it a combined weight of about 75 lbs which isn’t exactly light.

The E-V Sunny bike will also set you back about $1290 but there’s a slightly more affordable $795 kit for converting your existing bike. I also have to point out that the website is now taking orders “for delivery in September of 2006″ so I’m curious if anyone knows someone who actually bought and received one?

SylvanSport GO Miniature Camping Trailer

The SylvanSport GO camping and travel trailer is a great compromise between the simplicity of sleeping in a tent and the comfort of sleeping in a motor home. The trailer works like one of those pop-up campers but has a considerably smaller footprint and only weighs in at around 700 lbs allowing it to be pulled by smaller cars.

The tent can be setup in minutes and includes a custom Therm-A-Rest camp mattress that’s equal to a king-size and a half of sleeping surface. (Or it can be configured with two twin-size beds.) It also includes stargazing windows, excellent ventilation and the beds even convert to a table for when the weather or bugs made eating outside unpleasant. The tent itself packs down and stows inside the trailer’s roof/storage box allowing it to be used for hauling other gear when you’re not sleeping in it.

Of course if you also prefer camping on the cheap you might want to stick with your tent and air mattress since the GO trailer will set you back about $6,000.

StreetSurfer Replaces A Bike’s Single Front Wheel With Four

The StreetSurfer appears to be the latest trend in breaking your arm and even if you don’t look cool when you wipe out at least your ride will look unique. While it may appear to be just an ordinary bike the front wheel and fork on the StreetSurfer have actually been replaced with a small 4-wheeled contraption that kind of looks like a miniature version of a 727’s landing gear.

While the upgrade probably doesn’t improve the safety of the bike (the ability to turn so sharp or ‘carve’ will no doubt lead to a crash or two) the video of the StreetSurfer in action definitely looks like the riders are having fun.

At the moment the Australian born StreetSurfer doesn’t appear to be available all over the world (particularly North America) but if you happen to find one expect to pay about $960 (€699,00.)

Anti-Seasickness Ferretti 630 luxury yacht

You have always wanted to own a high-tech luxury yacht to cruise the waters but the thing that stops you is that you are sea-sick. Although you have lots of money floating around you but you can?t go for a yacht. But, with the new Ferretti 630 yacht, you won?t get nauseous as they have fitted in a system that keeps the objects in place when the ocean is jittery. When the sea gets violent, the gyroscope spins against the lean and helps keep the boat on an even keel. The three-cabin yacht has a massage lounge and a sun lounge on the flybridge. An extremely aggressive external line owing to an innovatively unique spherical glasswork delivers 360-degree visibility of the sea from the bow to the stern. The yacht boasts a maximum speed of 33,5 knots with two 1224 horsepower common rail MAN engines. The yacht is being promoted with a tagline that reads “The Space revolution.” The luxury yacht is priced at around £1.57 million.
