RMIT Industrial Design student Oscar Fehlberg designed this EsCargo motorcycle concept, coming second at the Australian university’s Green Innovators contest.

It’s powered by a 15 kilowatt electric motor, with a frame that can carry 150 kilograms (330 pounds) of goods. An innovative way to handle the smaller jobs that a big clunky truck shouldn’t need to, or might be a little too big for a bicycle.

This turntable is an easy, affordable way to bring vinyl to your sound system

Few are better positioned to ride the second wave of vinyl popularity than Crosley Radio. The company has been around in some form or another since 1920, branching out into TVs, kitchen appliances and even cars — but audio has always been the company’s core.
