Waterskiing Chair

 

Water skiing is not a new sport evident by the number of variations, such as wakeboarding, waterboarding, monoskiing, air chairs and sit-down hydrofoils.  Introducing the waterskiing chair.  Not unlike a sit-down hydrofoil or air chair where instead of standing on a pair of water skis, people instead sit on a chair with skis attached and enjoy the thrills of water skiing while sitting down.

The waterskiing chair is actually a patented design which allows even beginners (or anyone too scared to get their feet onto a pair of water skis) to experience the exciting pleasures of waterskiing.  Water skiing chairs can even help water sport novices to overcome their initial fear of waterskiing as on a waterskiing chair, they are effectively water skiing but in a stable and seated position.

The waterskiing chair is equipped with a unique steering system whereby leaning over to either side will cause the water skiing chair to cleave water on whichever direction the person seated so chooses.  The concept is innovative yet the design is deceptively simple.  A backless seat sits on a pair of widely-spaced water skis so all the rider has to do is to hold on to the tow rope to maintain balance when crossing the boat’s wake.

Water skiing experts may even be able to perform the same somersaults or back flips they are so used to doing on their water skis from the comfort of the padded vinyl-covered seat, which effectively absorbs shocks.  Surprisingly, the concept for the waterskiing chair has been around for more than five decades.  Nowadays, these babies can be yours for USD $499.95, some limited assembly is required.

Although this casing wraps your iPhone tightly, it still allows you to use all your sensitive touch-screen functions and plug your earphone into the jack.

Therefore, he can ride with all his joy without the fear of getting lost in the woods.

After the biker comes to an end of his ride, the Quick Release system unlocks the iPhone from the handlebars, where you clipped your iPhone earlier. This protective cover also makes it perfect for slipping the iPhone into backpacks while ensuring its good condition.

YikeBike Fusion Electric Folding Bike

 

Folding electric bikes are not new. In fact, YikeBike has introduced them way back in 2009 but the carbon fibre model was a tad expensive at $3,795.

Now they have just added the YikeBike Fusion to their collection, a more affordable folding bike model with a price tag of $1,995.

So how did that become possible, you ask yourself.

Apparently, YikeBike substituted more affordable materials like reinforced polymer composite and alloy for some of the more expensive carbon fibre materials. But you have to pay the price for the cheaper version and that’s more than three kilograms in added weight.

Up to 250 carbon fibre bikes have been sold last year to various customers including celebrities like Jackie Chan.

Now comes the new toy for the big boys out there—a slightly heavier, but cheaper version of the folding bike.  Don’t expect the original carbon fibre folding bikes to go on sale though, because they will be reserved for those who can afford the high-end version which will be sold through the website of YikeBike.  The cheaper version will then be sold by distributors as a standard version.

The carbon fibre folding bike weighs only 10.8 kg while the Fusion version weighs 14 kg. If you want to leave as little carbon footprint as possible but just could not afford the hefty price tag of the original carbon fibre folding bag, then here’s your chance to get the cheaper version.

Well, 3kg is not much of a weight considering the savings you can get from the purchase of the Fusion. Anyway, you can still enjoy its 23 km per hour speed while protecting the environment.
