Cervelo has issued a limited edition edition Chrome Hearts x bike that costs a whopping $60,000! To put it in financial perspective, Cervelo’s own P4 TT bike sells for just $6,000. So what do you get for that extra money? This bike has been decked out with custom Chrome Hearts graphics, leather, precious metals and rhinestones. So it’s more a work of art than an actual bicycle, but don’t worry it rides like a dream.
Dave Ritchie, co-founder of Vancouver-based Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, held an auction to sell his beloved luxury mega-yacht recently. The boat, Apoise, sold in just 15 minutes to an unknown buyer from the United Kingdom. The price? $46 million dollars. That’s a lot of all-you-can-eat lobster buffets.
Apoise is the 89th-largest luxury yacht in the world, with five guest suites, two Jacuzzis, six decks and a staff of 19 — and is the only such vessel that has ever been put up for auction without a reserve bid. The vessel was bought in 2006 as “a wonderful business tool,” with plans to sail the world, visiting friends, clients and family for a couple of years. Although there has been a significant dip in the pleasure-boat market since 2008, it seems that things have picked up steam and are recovering. Yes!
What to get the kid who has everything? Why, a Ferrari F40 of course. Only, you’d get arrested if you let a kid take a spin around with a real Ferrari F40. Enter the mini version!
Powered by an 80 cc Honda motor, this “toy” can accommodate two kids with restricted height and weight. Made in Germany in tribute of the first Ferrari dealership opening in post-Cold war Moscow, this machine is available for $25,000.
Japan gets all the luck. In addition to early access to video games and creepy hentai, they also get to try out one of these e-bikes before the western world. The Panasonic BE-ENV is already available there and costs about $6,000 to $8,000. Why so much? Because this titanium frame e-bike is awesome, that’s why. The Panasonic BE-ENV is powered by a lithium-ion battery and absorbs vibrations better than any other e-bike. Featuring three different driving modes, including an eco-mode, the user can directly choose the suitable mode from an LCD monitor that also keeps track of one’s average speed, distance traveled and more. It can travel a distance of up to 69km, depending on what battery you choose. Not bad for a little e-bike! No word on when it will be available here but you could always mailorder.
Whoever said it aint easy being green? This new solar-powered lawnmower and “garden cleaner” purports to make it easier than ever. It won the Red Dot Award in the Design Concept in 2009 so you know it means business. It’s one part electric lawnmower, and one part, well, something else. They call it a garden cleaner and that is the intended use. It works sort of like a home vacuum, sucking up unwanted weeds and soil and leaving everything nice and even so your basil or whatever can grow at a nice clip. The thing is also foldable and ridiculously easy to use. Gone are the days of sweaty men mowing your lawn for a measly five bucks.
Oh, and it was Kermit.
Wow. Soccer players are smart. Manchester United player Gary Neville is putting his eco-money where his eco-mouth is by helping to design this luxury ec0-bunker. Wait out the coming in apocalypse in style, and all without increasing your carbon footprint!
Neville teamed up with Make Architects to create this 8,000-sq-ft multi-million-pound luxury eco-bunker. It has been likened to a Neolithic settlement and will be built in the grounds of Gary Neville’s £8 million ($13m) estate in Lancashire.
The building will have solar panels, a ground source heat pump and a wind turbine. Energy produced from the wind turbine will power his neighboring property with extra energy being supplied to the national grid, helping to reduce his family’s carbon footprint. There’s one potential snag, however. The government has yet to approve the bunker.
They say when you are sick you can do no better than force down a few glasses of water. So, then, it holds that if you are super-duper sick, you should force down a few glasses of Exousia Luxury water. This high-grade H20 is infused with gold, which the company claims gives the beverage the ability to heal and cure what ails you. The only problem? A container costs a whopping 24 grand. If you buy a batch, please contact me and I would like to trade goods and services for just one sip. Just one sip!
The world continues it’s quest to wrap everything in Swarovsky crystals. This week’s edition: Bicycles. Bike manufacturer Mast has produced a series of beautiful Swarovsky-studded bicyles. Each bike features over 8,000 of the beloved crystals, not to mention a generous coating of gold trim. These little buggers sure do look adorable, like something from the 1950s mixed with, wel, tons of Swarovsky crystals. No word on pricing yet but when you do get them, for the love of God, get one hell of a bike lock.
