There’s no hiding how amazingly awesome this bike is. Designed for the same wilderness as mountain bikers explore, this monster of a bike cranks out 600 Watts via a single or five sized electric battery pack. Sure you can peddle this, but wouldn’t you rather run it at it’s top speed of 20mph? Yeah we thought so. Other wicked features include, but are not limited too: 20×8 inch tubeless tires, carbon fiber seatpost and handle bars and hydraulic disc brakes. Starting at $5500. NC

We’re not sure why anyone would want this. But hey, what do we know? Read on to watch a video that explains all. NC

Subaru’s new Mediocrity viral marketing campaign may not be for a real car, but it is great advertising. Making the claim that you’ll buy the 2011 Mediocrity because you want a four door that lacks class and a personality of it’s own. The point of these ad campaigns? To set apart the new Legacy as not just another four door. Fun fact: The car used in these promotions is in fact a Kia Optima. Read on for the video spots. NC

You bring your bike camping? Good, then you’ll like this tent. With 30 square feet of floor space, and weighing just 13 pounds, this isn’t just cool, it’s something true outdoorsmen can appreciate. The tent itself is created from coated ripstop nylon and features a polyester floor. (Link) $400. NC

Built completely to order, this odd looking camper has everything you want in a minimalist camping experience, assuming that you want to do minimalist camping in a camper to begin with. Designed to be both stylish and functional, this trailer is at the very least unique. (Starting at) $10,000.NC

Charles Samuel Greenwood will forever be remembered as the engineer who created the Flintstones car. With four people cranking, this ridiculous looking electric vehicle can travel up to 20 MPH. Of course you can also go this fast (faster) in a go cart, heck you go this fast coasting a golf cart down a hill, but you can do both of these things much less then it would cost you do it in this odd contraption. Greenwood’s car will cost you about $15,500 and you’ll have to find three other people who want to crank along side of you… at almost 20 MPH. Hard to believe he’s been working on this since the 1960′s. Link.NC
