Another one from gizmag.com.
This is presented more to be a toy than anything, but I can't help but wonder if this wouldn't be a great tool in accessing remote areas that would be difficult to get to my motorcycle.
"Twenty-one year-old Canadian Ben Gulak heads up BPG Werks, a company that is developing a vehicle called the DTV Shredder. Like the Scarpar, the Shredder is an all-terrain tracked vehicle that the rider stands on, like a skateboard – or in this case, a mini-tank. What sets it apart is its larger size, handlebars, and an in-development 48hp rotary combustion engine that should allow for a top speed of over 97km/h (60mph)."
"We wanted to create a new powered sport vehicle that was small enough that you could put it in the trunk of your car,” he told us regarding the Shredder. “We wanted a very small platform that had all the same capabilities as an ATV or dirt bike, and that also was a crossover between power and extreme sports."
"BPG Werks is currently in negotiations with unnamed major manufacturers who are interested in producing both civilian and military versions of the Shredder. Gulak expects it to be commercially available within 12 to 18 months, for around US$3,500 to $4,000."
