Greener Gadgets Conference 2010

The Greener Gadgets Conference took place at the end of February in New York City.  Sponsored by HP and Panasonic, the conference brought together speakers with backgrounds in consumer electronics, industrial design, green building, and green policies and standards.

 

Keynote speaker, Yves Behar, founder and designer behind fuseproject, an integrated design agency. His passion is focused in making green and sustainable living attractive.  He recently worked on the latest design for Mission Motor’s Superbike, the world’s first fastest, electric motorcycle.  There’s no gas tank, no tail pipe, yet reaches a top speed of 150 mph.  The materials along with the engineering make this electric bike fast.  The goal for Behar, was to construct the bike using entirely environmentally friendly materials so that the bike is 100% recyclable. Using an aluminum tubular frame along with forged aluminum wheels gives the super bike the durable and lightweight design to make this bike go fast and be completely recycled at the end of its life. Beher created an attractive design that motorcycle enthusiasts would see as a high performance vehicle which happens to be fueled by electricity.

 

There will be 50,  Mission One Superbikes  released in 2010, get on their waiting list while you can!
