In a few months, we’ve seen a whole lot of Segway knockoffs that follow the personal transport rather closely, but add a bit of change, perhaps to lower costs. The Cool Rider is basically one big wheel with electric motors and other associated gadgetry slapped into it, and there’s a protruding rod that the rider can hold. Apparently, you get to select standing on a wheeled platform, or just wear skates while the Cool Rider pulls you with a top speed of 12mph, which will likely make you proud of having shelled $1250 on this thing. More images after the jump.

The Suzuki GSX-R is a cool motorcycle that runs well, also, it is sentient and can entirely assemble and build itself. I guess the next step in its evolution will be turning into the Terminator Bike, sadly or thankfully, it currently requires stop action photography for pulling off the trick.

We’ve recognized German tuner Wheelsandmore as a stylist for Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bentley. An image that’s been pretty telling for the company. Now, to add to its credentials, Wheelsandmore’s worked on the Aston Martin DB9 Convertible adding that majestic and engineering touch to the car’s parts.

Some 800 kids aged between 5 and 13, under able directions from the German automaker’s staff, have created a life-size replica of BMW X1, employing 165,000 LEGO bricks in the process. Working for four days, the children made sure that the yellow facsimile imitates the original, the red one in above image, to the fullest. It exempts mobility though, mind you.

The Audi R10 concept from designer Marouane Bembli shows what the successor to the mighty Audi R8 may look like. The aggressive and bold concept stays in-line with Audi’s design DNA; its looks and stance identifying it as a successor to the R8. The designer proposes a V10 ethanol engine for the mid-engine supercar, and says it could also get power from Audi’s V12 diesel engine.

The word USB usually reminds us of the Universal Serial Bus, but Piaggio apparently has plans to tie it upwith a bike concept and the road. The Piaggio USB (Urban Sport Bike) has a sleek design and interesting figures, which make Piaggio believe that the USB could be the “perfect urban commuter.” USB has 150 lb-ft of torque, and with a weight of just 130kg, the plug-in bike has a fuel efficiency of 157mpg.

The Moto Guzzi V12 concept showed itself at EICMA, and it looks all good. The powerhouse shows itself clearly, the big motor is an 8 valve 1200cc V Twin. The prototype created by Moto Guzzi is a design by Pierre Terblanche. The motorcycle has a cast aluminum frame, and a number of variations to the body style create interesting versions of the prototype that include a sports bike, an ergonomic “every day” version, and an aggressive and powerful V12X version.

We see a number of independent designs/ sketches that look awesome and would be great candidates for production, or at least for a trip into the real world. Well, most of these concepts never do make it out of the drawing board or the renderings. Designer Michael Leonhard, though is trying to get his striking Plymouth Road Runner concept into the real world. He intends to produce a one off model of the car, and has put up an auction on eBay for the concept.

M.K. Sudhakar has created a Snooker Table Car, once again proving that he can put a motor on nearly anything, though we think he proved the point quite well when he created the condom motorbike. Sudhakar created the Snooker Table Car for the World Snooker Championship that will be held in Hyderabad, India later this week. He has earlier created oddities like a cigarette motorbike and motorized suitcase. This one of course is different, because it has balls, a lot of them.
