A Lexus, Toyota and Yamaha collaboration resulted in an electric bicycle. The bike was designed by Lexus and  produced by Yamaha. The 2-wheel drive bike has a carbon fibre frame including two motors  which are allegedly 100 watts at the front end and 150 watts at the crank giving the bike a maximum speed of 25 kph. It was introduced recently at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show. No news of it being released to the commercial market yet.

Canada’s luxury retailer Holt Renfrew pays hommage to the Porsche Panamera launch with a swanked-up event at their flagship store on Toronto’s Bloor Street. In the menswear department surrounded by the well dressed, Holt’s VP Lanita Layton and Porsche Racing Driver David Donohue both comment on the respective qualities of the Panamera at the champagne soiree. The event is part of the Style Rules Speaker Series.

It turns out the 1:700,000,000 odds of getting your hands around the steering wheel of the Lamborghini Reventón Roadster comes with a higher price tag. The ticket price for the limited edition automobile was set at €1.1 million at the Frankfurt Autoshow some weeks ago. Now, a new owner (one of ten) is punting it off on Jameslist for €1.45 million. The promo vid informs us that someone’s more likely to give birth to a Nobel prize laureate than driving one of these. If given the choice, which would you choose?

In the pic: The Easy Rider motorbike was nothing more than a prop for Chanel’s 2010 pre-spring photoshoot. The bike was inspired by the wheels Marlon Brando rode in The Wild One. The bike will not be brought into commercial production. Somehow, I’m not surprised. It seems quite masculin for Chanel’s broad clientele. BTW: I saw the Chanel flick last night. It was an entertaining bio with the spirit of the age well documented; Coco, a product of her time. Question: with all the stuff Lagerfeld is producing under the Chanel brand (concept cars, coins, films, segways), what time is he a product of? Saddled on the bike: Lara Stone. Looking on we have Karl Lagerfeld, and Italian model Baptiste Giacobini.

These wheels won’t clash with your CC wardrobe.

The combined effort of trainees at Daimler Benz resulted in the F-Cell Roadster. It’s a vehicle with a delicate balance of styles and technologies spanning the history of the company, such as carbon-fiber bucket seats with hand-stitched leather covers and the distinctively styled fiberglass front section, based on the component from the Formula One racing bodies. Also the traditional steering wheel is substituted by a joystick. The F-Cell is an emission free electric vehicle that has a top speed of 25kph. Sunday driving anyone?

In London where real estate is sparse for such luxuries as the traditional garage, it seems that some designers have found a creative way to combine the garden’s aesthetic and possible storage functionality with a submersible solution. Very James Bondish. Ticket price: £50,000.

The Chanel Segway boasts a velocity of 20 kph. Stylish treads. If you try squinting you’ll notice the CC monogram on the tire’s traction. The vehicle’s steering is outfitted with a Chanel bag. They’re made to order. No news on the cost. You would think that all these new additions to Chanel’s peripheral accessories are for the sole amusement of Karl Lagerfeld’s weekend passtimes.  While you’re riding one of these, what’s your chauffeur up to?

The Icon A5 will revolutionize air travel. The designers hope to make flying as easy as driving a car. This personal aircraft is the necessary toy for those who need to supplement their recreational vehicle arsenal.  The Icon A5 is amphibious, has fold-away wings making surface shuttling, storage, and terrain accessibility all the more practical. It seats two. It’ll run you an estimated $139,000. First deliveries are expected in 2010.

A window on what luxury was in 1955. This car has to be one of the coolest of the oldtimers. Even today those gullwing doors are such a stylish and progressive detail in sports automobiles.  It’s one of the cars being auctioned at Coy’s.  I’d rather drive one of these than any of the cars in Mercedes’ current roster.
