An Austrian company named Johammer have developed a futuristic electric cruiser. This science fiction motorcycle boasts a range of 200 km. The designers felt a new approach was needed so started from scratch to deign an electric bike from the ground up, rather than adapt an old motorcycle frame to take a battery and electric motor.
The motor and controller are integrated into the rear wheel and they are claiming special advances in battery pack development. The torsion-resistant aluminium main frame has been built to hold the shock absorbers and battery pack.

Quadrofoil is a thrilling, yet quiet and eco-friendly watercraft. Its silent motor and zero emissions enable it to ride on lakes, rivers, seas & eco-zones where most motor boats and PWC’s are not allowed. No noise, no waves, no emissions.
The watercraft comes with an all-electric outboard motor and special steering system, so not a drop of oil goes in the environment.
It flies over water at 1 €/h and hardly any annual maintenance costs. That makes it the most efficient PWC on the water.

Koenigsegg has outperformed existing production car speed records during a practice session in the groundbreaking Koenigsegg One:1 Megacar, headlined by a 0-300-0 kmh time of just 17.95 seconds.
Koenigsegg stunned the world in September 2011 when it set a Guinness World Record time of 21.19 seconds for the 0-300-0 kmh run in the Koenigsegg Agera R. The time achieved by the Koenigsegg One:1 cuts a full 3.24 seconds from what was already considered to be an unbeatable time.

Edge Retreats put on a lavish bash at Ham Polo Club on Sunday for The Ritz London Polo Challenge.
Luke McCormick, the founder of Edge Retreats, is a keen rider and felt that Ham Polo Club was the ideal place to entertain the likes of Forbes, International eXcellence Magazine and the Financial Times.
It was also the most gloriously sunny day and some great Polo matches such as the Ritz Polo Challenge and the Tiger Mountain sporting Ham Polo versus Accra from Ghana taking centre stage.

They are two of the most prestigious (if not the most glamorous) events in the annual social calendar, representing some of the biggest showcases of next season's trends and styles anywhere on the planet. As such it’s no surprise thousands flock to the city for the winter and summer shows.

They say ‘see Venice and die’. And whilst it’s true that whoever ‘they’ are say a lot, in that instance  'they' hit the nail on the head in terms of just how beautiful Italy’s city on the lagoon actually is, for us there’s another corner of the country- equally associated with water- that stole our heart first.

The Royal Albert Hall ('RAH'), probably the world’s most famous stage that opened in 1871 under the vision of Prince Albert, earlier this year launched another act as part of its ‘off-stage’ line up - the Secret History Tour. The tour, which takes visitors behind the scenes, unearths details on the many eccentricities and oddities of this iconic London venue. One can even take afternoon tea after the tour with a champagne option!

If the south of France is known for one thing, then it must be opulence. OK, maybe we can add to that a couple of other words- ‘serene’, ‘natural’ and ‘beauty’. But, nevertheless, when people think of this Gallic region the idea of luxury immediately springs to mind.

I generally like to keep one day a week free from any form of transportation, to ground and connect myself back to….. me. Me time! We all need more “ME time” so that we can give better “WE time”.If like me, you have often wished that the spa could come to you rather than having to “rush to relax”? The recent technological trend of home services has created a solution that brings beauty and wellness delivered to your door with ease and expertise.

Just back from a whirlwind trip to Turin, the business and cultural centre in northern Italy and the capital of the Piedmont region, which was inspiring. For sure I would recommend it for a short city break or as a base for exploring the wider region. There’s so much to see and do.
Often referred to as the Capital of the Alps, as it sits a short distance from the foothills of the Italian Alps, but other popular epithets are the Automobile Capital of Italy and the Detroit of Italy.
