You may remember when Geek Tech showed you how you could make your home geeky cool. Maybe you took our advice and have a fully kitted-out geek haven of a home, but there's one thing missing--a geeky mode of transportation in the driveway.
Flying Cars
At present, two are even trying to get 'road' approval (as it were), so people like you can legally drive them. One of the coolest has to be Chris Malloy's Hover Bike, which is supposedly capable of flying up to 10,000 feet. For $40,000, you can own a flying bike, which can go up to 92mph and run for 100 miles straight.
Homemade Batmobile
A fully-operational Batmobile is the ultimate geeky garage possession. There are hundreds of Batmobile mods out there, but the best one is Casey Putsch's replica of the version from the 1989 movie.
Tron Segway

Speedy Shopping Cart
Heading off to the the big chore of grocery shopping? You can make it a little quicker with MIT's Motorized Shopping Cart. Students at the Labs created the trolly out of old go-kart parts, an engine, and also improved the wheels to make for a smoother ride.

Bicycle Laser
OK, maybe you don't need a Segway. Maybe you just want to make your bike geekier. Or in Emily Brooke's case, safer. Emily, a student at the University of Brighton, was aware of how dangerous cycling on the road can be, and wanted to help make bikes more visible to drivers.
