Urbantrike
Price: $495

Estimated delivery: December 2013
While it's no Lean Mean Green Machine, this pedal-powered low-riding trike is still a boss on the road, thanks to a quad-giant-wheeled rear axle. And don't worry, you can bring it with you everywhere because it's designed to easily collapse and fit in most car trunks.

Kapture
Price: $99
Status: $41,952 of $150,000 goal
Estimated delivery: March 2014
Have you ever wished someone was recording your entire life? Have you seenThe Truman Show? Not as great as it seems. In any case, it would probably be cool if it was just audio. And you got to choose what gets cut out. That's the idea behind this mic'd wristband, which is always on, and constantly recording a 60-second loop of audio.

And if you don't opt to save the clip to your phone, it'll just record over.

You can set it to boot up recreationally useful things like your camera or audio recorder, or more critical functions like the flashlight, location services, and Facebook. [more...]
