Exo Concept Watercraft

I'm sure I will never ride one of these, but it looks awesome. Here's the details:

World premiere at the Cannes Boat Show, EXOCONCEPT presents EXO a new electric and ecological water toy.
At the Cannes Boat Show 2011, EXOCONCEPT unveils EXO, a new electric watercraft, ecological, fun and sport that can be used without a license.

After two years of studies, developments and registrations at the INPI, the EXO embeds the highest performances that technology can offer, in particular an underwater electric propulsion group, radically innovative, with a large range of uses, completed with the last generation of high-capacity batteries.

Among the basic criteria of a list of specifications focused on excellence and an impeccable building quality, the EXO had to present a radically new form, be ergonomic, ecological, easily transportable and be virtually without maintenance.
EXOCONCEPT intends to equip water sports centers worldwide and has built dedicated business packages in order to offer to them an access to a new category of customers.

The EXO line is available in two different materials: reinforced ABS and carbon fiber, and in several powers of engines starting from 3.5 until 7Kwh.

The EXO line in carbon fiber, more luxury and sport orientated, comes with the most powerful engine (7Kwh), and some exclusive optional features that can be personalized. Without a doubt, this line will satisfy all yacht owners and extreme sports lovers who look for difference and strong emotions.

All Electric Tron Light Cycle

I would love one of these.

Parker Brothers has created an all-electric replica model of a Tron Light Cycle. The bike's 96-volt electric motor has a range of about 100 miles, and only needs a 15 to 35 minute charge. Parker Brothers also says that the bike can reach up to 100 MPH.

It's currently not street legal, but the Parker Brothers have said they are looking at that. Not info on price yet, or how many of them will be made, but there was a gas version not too long ago that sold for $35,000.

You can watch the YouTube video of the bike in action HERE.

ZURINER Depth-Charge ZV-01 Watch

Not a fan of the watch band, but I love the look of the watch. It's a little basic, but I think it has a nice smooth look to it. It's on the expensive side at $1,369 USD, but it's not outrageous. Just not something that most of us are going to see at the local store and snag. Here's the stats:

Breitling Colt Watch

The same spirit but a new look. Breitling has entirely redesigned its Colt model, a symbol of sturdiness, reliability and performance. A sculptural model carved in steel, the new Colt turns heads with its original styling clearly built for action, achievements and thrills. With its solid construction and its water resistance to 300 meters (1,000 ft) or 500 meters (1,650 ft), it establishes itself as an exceptionally sporty model, a champion and natural frontrunner. Its originality begins with the bezel featuring a taut, sophisticated shape and stamped numerals, and continues with the case echoing the same outline. The dials are adorned with new rounded numerals exclusively designed for this model, with rhythmical motifs and with a play on colors. The steel bracelet reinforces the unique character of this fresh, youthful and dynamic design, while ensuring optimal comfort and sturdiness.

Available in three versions endowed with strong and distinctive characters, including a chronograph and a ladies’ watch, the new Colt is equipped with SuperQuartz™ movements that are chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), like all Breitling movements.
