Aquellos que han tenido la suerte de viajar por el engañosamente desolado terreno del desierto australiano saben que la mejor manera de disfrutar ese paisaje alocado y extravagante es conduciendo una motocicleta a través de sus vastas y salvajes llanuras. Ahora, aquellos viajeros que se sientan impulsados a agradecerle a la Madre Naturaleza por el tiempo que se tomó para tallar ese hermoso pedazo de terreno tiene la oportunidad de hacerlo, porque un grupo de técnicos australianos ha desarrollado una motocicleta que funciona a biodiesel, pero que aún así es lo suficientemente poderosa como para darte la velocidad que tanto ansías.

We all want to feel a little good by clearing the clutter and going green, but then again, since going green is as of now majorly limited to Lamborghinis and plush apartments, it might be a while before we can do something meaningul, or so you thought right? Looks like the SolarRoll, the new sun-powered laptop charger will prove you wrong. Not only would you love using this stylish and mattish charger, it would also mean all those boring looking batteries again. (more…)
