Elder Mobility ScooterToyota Motor Corporation recently unveiled its newest scooter, although this time it's a bit different and not as related to four-wheelers as always. But actually this three-wheeled mobility scooter is called the Toyota C+Walk S which is designed to help the activities of the elderly population in Japan.

Toyota launched this mobility scooter for the elderly is actually not without reason. This was done after the Japanese automotive giant found data in their researchs about people over the age of 75 years old was starting have serious problems after walking as far 328 feet (100 meters). The fact causes the proportion of elders aged 75 years who leave the house for walk is lower 10 percent than those aged 65 years.

As a result, this made Toyota feel concerned, and then tried to design a mobility scooter that was not only practical but also attractive. As quoted from Carscoops, the C+Walk S elderly mobility scooter of Toyota features a sleek design, having a variety of colors, a lightweight battery that's easy to recharge, and ample storage, so it could be helped elders move around with confidence.

While judging from its design, the C+Walk S elderly mobility scooter was inspired by other Toyota C+ lineups, including the C+Walk T stand-up scooter and the C+Pod microcar. Furthermore, this Toyota' elderly mobility scooter is available in several color variations ranging from black, brown and gray.

The appearance of the C+Walk S is indeed designed to be more than just sleek, in addition with such three-wheeled design like this it is also intended to make it easier for users to get on and off the vehicle. It can also make it easier to see what is happening in front of user. Meanwhile, the storage space under the seat is quite large, so it can accommodate a basket of groceries.
The Japanese auto manufacturer claims to control this elderly mobility scooter is very easy, thanks to a simple accelerator lever that the rider can release if they want to slow down. If they really need to brake in a hurry, separate brake controls are also provided.

This Toyota C+Walk S is also equipped with advanced driver assistance features, such as an obstacle detection system that slows the scooter to a speed of 1.2 mph (2 kph) if it sees something ahead that needs to be avoided. This system also helps slow it down when turning corners to ensure the C+Walk S doesn't go unbalanced suddenly. Similarly, it can slow down this scooter when going up a steep incline to prevent the user from losing control.
Toyota has finally decided to release its tiny electric car, the C+Pod, to be marketed in retail. (Picture from: Carvaganza)
If all safety systems off, the Toyota C+Walk S has a top speed of 3.8 mph (6 kph), which is said to be roughly the same as walking speed. Furthermore, the C+Walk S' built-in lithium-ion battery system can only take it walking as far as 7.4 miles (12 km) for a single charge. Not only that, the battery was fully removable (weighing only 5.5 lbs/2.5 kg) and can be fully recharged in two and a half hours.
For this day, the C+Walk S can only be purchased at Toyota' dealers in Japan with a starting price tag of JPY 498,000 (approx US $3,823), but customers who want full package of these driving assist technologies have to pay around JPY 505,000 (US $3,877).

UniqueONES We all know that as one of the Japanese big players in the automotive world, especially motorcycles, Suzuki Motor Corporation has a variety of production of motorcycles spread all over the world. All of those production version of the motorcycles are certainly not the result of overnight work that suddenly enters the company's production line, right?

All of those were the result of long works ranging from concept design on the paper up to being realized into a prototype which is then shown and got approval of the relevant company's officials to enter into the production line. Regarding to that, especially the creation of concept motorcycle models had carried out by Suzuki's designers and engineers independently or in collaboration with third parties are of course very numerous and varied.
The 1985 Suzuki Falcorustyco Concept featured with center-hub steering, and powered by a square-four engine.(Picture from: Autoby.jp)
Even some of them (which considered have unique designs) had also discussed by us, such as the Suzuki Nuda Concept, Suzuki Biplane Concept, Suzuki Crosscage Hybrid Motorcycle, and others. So, the unique design concept motorbike that we will discuss today is the Suzuki Falcorustyco (the name derived from Falco Rusticulous, a Latin name for gyrfalcon) concept bike.
The Suzuki Falcorustyco Concept's final drive was not chain, belt or shaft, but some a kind of the hydraulic pumps that transfered the movement energy to both wheels. (Picture from: SuzukiCyclesorg)
This both unique shaped and named motorcycle concept was shown for the first time at the Tokyo Motor Show in November 1985, and seem it was not missed by the 1.2 million motorcycle enthusiasts whose visited the expo. Like other futuristic motorcycle concepts, it might look very strange, like something that had come from nowhere outer space, because indeed the public at that time still did not have the insight into the future as imagined by Suzuki. They are still too common to accept such futuristic designs.

Although the Falcorustyco has the appearance of a high-tech dream bike, the designers actually intend to create a concept bike that is technically feasible for Suzuki to mass produce in the next few years. As you can see, the Falcorustyco had no frame structures like a normal motorbike. It has the front and the rear swing arms were attached to some kind of the 500cc square four engine, but it was not the RG500 Gamma engine. At the time, the maker Suzuki said, it was a new water-cooled four-stroke 16 valves, three camshafts powertrain.

No less unique, the final drive of the Falcorustyco Concept was not chain, belt or shaft, like all the other motorcycles as usual. But, Suzuki chose to use hydraulic drive system to pump and transfered the movement energy to both wheels, so there's no gear box was needed. Not only that, besides hydraulic drive there's another unusal advance features also installed on this motorcycle concept, such as hydraulic hub-steer, and electromagnetic brake systems.
The twin shaft drive was clear to see in the Suzuki's patent drawing which is claimed by the brand was a hydraulic drive. (Picture from: KarDesignKoncepts)
By using such kind of steering system allows the steering and suspension work independently. So that the control process in the corner at high speed is not affected by the weight displacement that occurs in the bike's suspension. This certainly affects more accurate to the Falcorustyco bike's control.
The Suzuki Falcorustyco Concept had no frame structures like a normal motorbike, in which the front and the rear swing arms were directly attached to its engine. (Picture from: SuzukiCyclesorg)
At the time, the motorcycle journalists were convinced, and hope that the Suzuki Falcorustyco Concept would be mass produced in the near future. Sure enough, there's a new falcon named motorcycle model known as the Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa (the Hayabusa is a Japanese word for peregrine falcon) in 1999.
The Suzuki Falcorustyco Concept featured with unique hydraulic hub-steer system with joystick. (Picture from: Autoby.jp)
The fact, in appearance this new bike was far from what you've seen in the concept above. It looks more like a conventional motorcycle with chain drive,
powered by an inline-four two camshafts engine, coupled with
conventional brakes and ordinary steering systems.

legendary Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa which was first released in 1999,
and once held the title of the fastest motorcycle in the world. (Picture from: IwanBanaran)
Indeed, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer has never officially stated that there is a causality between the Falcorustyco Concept model and the GSX 1300R Hayabusa production version. Even if the Falcorustyco
did go into production, what is the price tag of the motorbike? Because
you can be sure the price will definitely very expensive. Off course,
it was not efficient if Suzuki built it.

Does the motorbike even work and can be ridden? According to the information we got from several Japanese websites, so far the Falcorustyco Concept has never been seen ridden by anyone. That's natural, because indeed it was a motorcycle concept for study designs, it is very likely that Falcorustyco does not have a running engine (only rolling model with dummy engine), so it cannot be ridden.
RareONES If you think that the most expensive motorcycle in the world is a modern motorcycle with high-tech features, or a gold-plated unit, then you are wrong. It turns out that this is the 1908 Harley-Davidson Model 4 'Strap Tank' which is touted as the world's most expensive rare motorbike today. The classic iron horse sold for $850,000 or the equivalent of Rp.13 billion at an auction event organized by Mecum Auctions in Las Vegas back in January 2023.

This is a legendary unit that included the first generation of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. And of the 450 produced in 1908 by the Milwaukee-based motorcycle manufacturer, it is estimated that fewer than a dozen remain today. Moreover of course, the number of units that are in good condition as auctioned is even more less. Besides that, this rare motorbike also has an interesting pedigree, making it one of the best of its kind available today. It is thought this is the earliest model ever found so far, as the prototype is long gone.

The story of this motorcycle model began in 1901 when William S. Harley, who was then 20 years old, together with his best friend Arthur Davidson built a 116 cc single-cylinder engine in Milwaukee.And it took two years to build the first engine which was then mounted on a bicycle chassis.Then they enlarged the engine to 405 cc after getting advice from legendary marine engineer Ole Evinrude.

These second project of them was completed in September 1904 and had used to race at the Milwaukee State Fair Park. At the time, their iron horse was ridden by Edward Hildebrand and was able to finish in fourth place. In the following year, Harley-Davidson comenced production in a small wooden shed with only five engines were built at the time. These first production engines were enlarged to 440 cc, and could only produce about 4 hp, which was a pretty good burst of power in that day.

Entering 1906, the company built a new factory in Chestnut Street, which later renamed to Juneau Avenue and is still Harley-Davidson's headquarters to this day. From there about 50 motorbikes were built from the single-story building. Its first model was known as the Harley-Davidson Strap Tank because the nickel-plated steel bands suspending the fuel and oil tanks from the frame.

One year later the factory could build around 150 machines. And in 1908 production jumped to 450 machines. Although Harley-Davidson wasn't the biggest manufacturer in the time, the Strap Tank has earned a good reputation for toughness. These earliest models of the Harley-Davidson Strap Tank is the most coveted unit of all Milwaukee machinery. They have a pattern that still persists today, by combining a clean but conservative style, a somber color scheme, and a slightly heftier engine than the others.

And this 1908 Harley-Davidson Strap Tank motorcycle unit that was auctioned is known to be one of the world's rarest motorbikes, it was found by David Uihlein in 1941 in complete condition in a Wisconsin barn which is only about 70 miles from Milwaukee, then Uihlein kept it in his home for the next 66 years.

Furthermore, this 1908 Harley-Davidson Strap Tank motorcycle has been restored in detail with the help of Paul Freehill of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Amazingly, the tank, wheels, engine belt pulley, seat cover, exhaust sleeve are all pristine, and even its engine number #2241 and carburetor #1049 are still printed and clearly visible. Then it finished under a gray color touch plus a red accent line.

When the hammer dropped at the auction event, this 1908 Harley-Davidson Strap Tank sold at a bid price of $850,000. But its new owner had to spend about $935,000 after the bid-price added by auction fees and other taxes.
Actually, this is not the first Strap Tank ever sold by Mecum Auctions in Las Vegas. Previously the auction company had sold the 1907 Harley-Davidson Strap Tank for $297,000 or Rp.4.5 billion. But the newly released of 1908 unit has a well-documented history, coupled with the motorcycle unit still had 115 years olds original parts. So it's undoubtly, this 1908 Harley-Davidson Strap Tank is a truly exceptional machine.

New RIDESPraga as an old automotive brand owned by the Czech automotive company that we know so far, produces many racing cars, karts and go-karts for years, and even recently, this automotive company has introduced a unique hypercar named Praga Bohema.
The Praga ZS 800 is a modern reimagining that retains the character and design of its ancestral Praga BD 500. (Picture from: RobbReport)
Well unexpectedly, this Czech company also made a cruiser motorbike in 1928 that was quite famous, namely the Praga BD 500. Well, now the manufacturer has launched a motorbike once again called the Praga ZS 800 which is also said to be a modern interpretation of its 1920s legendary motorbike.

As quoted from GoOto, the Praga ZS 800 was born from the idea of Jan Zuzi, an engineer who previously worked with a 700 hp engine of the Praga Bohema hypercar. With the help of his partner Radek Sebesta, he developed the concept by combining Praga's outstanding engineering expertise, production capabilities, racing technology and dedication. Thus, the Praga ZS 800 was born, a modern reimagining that retains the character and design of its ancestral Praga BD 500.

Furthermore, the classic impression of the BD 500 is represented again through details made by a motorcycle designer, Jaroslav Frantisek Koch. The Praga ZS 800 motorbike has a total weight of only 158 kg, and this can be achieved thanks to the use of chrome molybdenum steel material for its frame. Furthermore, this motorbike's tank can accommodate at least 11.5 liters of fuel, wrapped in forged carbon which is believed to be able to distribute its weight 50:50 in between the front and rear tires.

Then there is also the titanium material used in several components of this motorbike, for example the 3D printing exhaust weighted of 4.8 kg. Meanwhile, the bolts, axles, nuts that bind the engine and chassis are made of sturdy steel. And the most unique part is the legs which consist of forged carbon rims with hydraulic drum brakes, such system was chosen to maintain style and performance.

Mystery REVEALED The first time we saw this scooter on the internet a few years ago. At that time we were immediately fell in love with it because in our opinion this scooter has an unusual fierce shape we've never seen before. After that, we tried to find out what model this scooter was? However, it turns out that none of the models in the Piaggio's scooter catalog like this one.
The gorgeous scooter called Vespa 125 Corsa (original) built based on 1951 Vespa 125 by Cavalli brothers-owned workshop under the Piaggio authorization of the 1950s. (Picture from: FotoCommunity)
After searching, we finally found a little information about this unusual scooter from an account on a photography site in the name of William Mendini (a gentleman of Brescia), plus other info from several Vespa scooter fansites such as Basque Radical Mods, Vespa Club Salo and others.
The 1951 Vespa 125 has an aerodynamically bulged shape that resembles a big nose which is also used as a place for the headlight attached. (Picture from: FotoCommunity)
It turns out that this scooter was built based on the 1951 Piaggio Vespa 125 model by a Brescia-based modification workshop owned by the Cavalli brothers. The unique-shaped scooter was designed by Achille Cavalli for racing purposes and is said to have authorization of Piaggio as the manufacturer and owner of the Vespa brand.

As a result, the one-off prototype (as we can see today) was successfully built in 1951 and tested in 1952. But unfortunately, there are no data or records about it after that. So it is clear now, that isn't a scooter model made by Piaggio but the custom-built scooter result of a Brescia-based workshop. As for the name, some call it Vespa 125 Corsa (original) prototype, and --Because We Love Vespa-- If allowed, we preferred called it asVespa Grosso Naso (big nose).😎

When viewed from the physical appearance it looks like a combination of many scooter models made by Piaggio in the 1950s. As we can see from the front view, the scooter has striking looks with an aerodynamically bulged shape that resembles a big nose which is also used as a place for the headlight attached. Then to the middle, where a handlebar is the same as that used on the Vespa scooter model at that time.
Then in between the seat and the handlebar, there is an extra-large size fuel tank like the one on the Vespa Circuito 125 and at the bottom of where a spare tire saved like the Vespa 125 'Sei Giorno' models. Going to the back, there is a fin that at a glance reminds us of the Vespa Siluro model. While the engine, it looks like still uses a 125cc 2-stroke engine (there was none of the info about it).

And if you look carefully ranging from the front to the rear of this scooter was very aerodynamic and added to the rider's sitting position who ducks with his head tilted over the fuel tank. Of course, that's very promising to be fast when speeding on the track.
The 1951 Vespa 125 was designed by Achille Cavalli (look at the designer name stamped on the scooter body), and probably still uses a 125cc 2-stroke engine. (Picture from: BasqueRadicalMods)
As quoted of FotoCommunity.it under the name of William Mendini's account, for more than fifty years this beauty racing scooter was stored well in a garage at the outskirts of the city and lastly restored in 2008, but it is unknown who the scooter owner today.

Rare MotorBikes At present, it is almost certain that automotive enthusiasts around the world know Harley-Davidson as an American leading motorcycle brand, which has presented so many reliable motorcycle products since it was founded in 1903 until now.
The Harley-Davidson Model-J Package Truck was basically a commercial load-carrier used to deliver supplies and parts. (Picture from: ClassicMoto.rs)
However, the following 2 (two) models of motorbikes made by the Milwaukee-based motorcycle manufacturer were previously unknown to many fans, so they can be categorized as super rare models. What model it is, let's see them below;
1. 1916 Harley-Davidson Model-J Package Truck
The first motorcycle was the Harley-Davidson Model-J Package Truck which was produced during 1912 to 1916. As quoted from RideApart, at that time the motorcycle model was made for commercial-purposed vehicle, at the time only Harley-Davidson has; even used as the operational vehicles of postal operator in the United States.
The Harley-Davidson Model-J Package Truck consists of a classic motorcycle unit, and a cargo container mounted on a sidecar chassis. (Picture from: ClassicMoto.rs)
Besides that, the Harley-Davidson Model-J Package Truck is also used by ice cream, candies traders, and many other to bring their goods to rural areas that have poor road access. As You can see, the Harley-Davidson Model-J Package Truck was built on the concept of a motorcycle that had a special box-shaped sidecar for carrying goods. However, the large sidecar can also be removed, so that the motorbike can still be used alone for a more relaxed journey.
Recently, the Milwaukee-based motorcycle manufacturer carried out a restoration on the package truck's motorbike. As the result, the Harley-Davidson Model-J Package Truck returns to its heyday appearance consisting of one (classic) motorcycle unit plus a box-shaped sidecar painted under special pale blue color on the body with white wheels. In 2020, Bonham has auctioned off the Harley-Davidson Model-J Package Truck with an estimated price of US $45 thousand or equivalent to Rp. 616 million.
2. 1951 Harley-Davidson WRTT
It is said that Harley-Davidson first introduced the W-Series in 1936 at which time the United States was rising from adversity. As reported from Silodrome, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the W-Series by using the largest engine volume of that era and to this day with six major variants, the W, WL, WLA, WLC, WLD, and WR.
1951 Harley-Davidson WRTT was specifically intended for road racing which necessitated the installation of a front brake. (Picture from: MotoSaigon.vn)
The WR model was the racing version, and is easily found in several classic motorcycle races today, turn out the 1951 Harley-Davidson WRTT rarely seen amongst them, due to this model was produced in limited numbers at that time. The WRTT was specifically intended for road racing which necessitated the installation of a front brake, and had a number of other modifications including a close ratio 3-speed gearbox, they were often fitted with 19 inch wheels and road racing tires as opposed to tires intended for use on dirt ovals.

After being restored, this super rare motorbike was auctioned with estimated prices ranging from US $ 60,000 - $ 70,000 or equivalent to Rp. 823 million - Rp. 960 million.
Toyota launched this mobility scooter for the elderly is actually not without reason. This was done after the Japanese automotive giant found data in their researchs about people over the age of 75 years old was starting have serious problems after walking as far 328 feet (100 meters). The fact causes the proportion of elders aged 75 years who leave the house for walk is lower 10 percent than those aged 65 years.
For this day, the C+Walk S can only be purchased at Toyota' dealers in Japan with a starting price tag of JPY 498,000 (approx US $3,823), but customers who want full package of these driving assist technologies have to pay around JPY 505,000 (US $3,877).
