DIY Balancing Scooter
This project was designed to emulate the invention of the Segway by Dean Kamen. We want to provide the resources for any hobbyist to make a balancing scooter on their own, in only a few weekends.
| Location: Bike Town A1 |
Meta - USA
Our self-balancing scooter was designed to go curb hopping and through the sand. It is exceedingly fast. The hardware is from an open source project, and the scooter has lean steering, using a flat titanium spring that we invented. Our clone is also radio controlled!

actual hardware
actual hardware designs open source tools. Our first design, the NutJob, is a wrench for fixed gear bikes.

Big Kid Bikes
I am displaying two of my interesting and unique bikes, and their building process and specific bicycle part know-how that streamlines that process.
The "Kitten": A large frame 2-wheeled bicycle that uses recycled car wheels, has a solar powered directional lighting system.
The "Bigger Wheel": A grown up version of the big wheel capable of doing 30 mph, that can both stick to corners or slide round them. Probably the most fun bike most will ever ride.

Gyrobike
Gyrowheel, a revolutionary device that adds stability and balance to bicycles for riders of all ages. Here’s the scoop: The Gyrowheel “senses” unbalanced biking and re-centers the bike underneath the rider’s weight at the point when tipping starts to occur. The force created by the Gyrowheel creates high stability at very slow speeds, whether riding straight or turning.

Unusual Handmade Bikes
I build unusual bikes and scooters from discarded materials.
wooden bikes, Ski bikes, crutch bikes, scooter bikes, etc.
You can test ride them.
You can see how they're put together.
I'll give a half hour bike design and construction talk at 12:30 each day.

SOHH Project
Solar Human Hybrid Vehicle.
A street-legal, four wheel, pedalable vehicle with electric motor, solar panels & iPod dock.
Carries 4 people, dog & groceries. An 8th grade project for the Novato Charter School.
The SOHH challenges traditional transportation ideas, and demonstrates green transportation options for our community.
| Location: Bike Town A6 |
Dual motor ebike, solar powered
Dual motor electric bike with a solar powered battery charger constructed on a bike trailer. The project is a proof of concept that demonstrates various technologies including electronics, electric motors, and solar charging. The goal is to educate and inspire other inventors to experiment and join the electric vehicle movement.
| Location: Bike Town A8 |
HybridMojo: Human-Electric Hybrid Bikes
Demonstration of several electric bicycles, fabrication techniques and tooling, plus facts, figures and illustrations on this most efficient form of transportation.
| Location: Bike Town A9 |
