Knitted bike for hamsters
It’s not really for hamsters, but it’s about the right size. Mydogellen made this awesome knitted bike – she made an Instructable that explains her approach and the techniques she used.

Single-Wheeled Bike Trailer
Here’s a detailed Instructable on building a single-wheeled bike trailer, very similar to the $300+, critically-acclaimed B.O.B. trailer systems, for something like $20. Aside from the coolness factor, one vs. two wheels obviously gives you a nice lowered rolling resistance. My favorite quote from the build is the description of his hitch system (step 8). […]
Sashimi Tabernacle Choir
Gareth blogged about Sashimi Tabernacle Choir a while back; seeing it in Austin was wonderful! I don’t know what it says about me that, if I had the time, I could have watched this ridiculous thing for an hour, but it made me deliriously happy. My video doesn’t do it justice – if you ever […]
Obama SpokePOV
Wow, Aneel used 6 “SpokePOVs” to turn his bicycle wheels in to Obama logos (photo set here)… He included the files for download if you want to do this on your own, or you can of course make whatever you want. Oh, just to be clear and to avoid a comment-fight, MAKE does not endorse […]
Micro RC Jousting
This was one of the most charming projects I saw at Maker Faire, Nyssa’s little micro RC jousters. Such a simple idea, a great project for kids, and one of those things that starts you thinking about other things to do with your tiny RC cars. You could make lots of papercraft skins, have a […]
Electric Tall Bike
Spotted at Maker Faire, Peter Stanley’s electric tall bike may be my favorite vehicle of any kind: You can’t tell from the video that there’s no throttle: just an on-off switch. Because adding a motor to a tallbike wasn’t dangerous enough;)
Electric motorcycle will get you there to build another one
Here’s yet another cool electric motorcycle mod. This time it is based around a recycled 1986 Kawasaki Ninja ZX 900 where the only working components of the original bike were the tires, frame, and suspension. The bike was retrofitted with a 72 volt drive train powered by 6 batteries and a photovoltaic array. Check out […]
