Those looking to change up their traditional transportation means might want to check out the Lopifit, which is essentially the equivalent of a bicycle, a treadmill and a scooter in one. While other designs require either peddling or pushing, the Lopifit requires that you simply get on the device and walk; the internal workings of the design reveal an electric engine that's powered by your walking motion.
Retailing for €1,899.00, the Lopifit comes in a variety of colors and is likely to be one of the strangest vehicles designed to date. The photos reveal that operating the Lopifit is simplistic in nature and ultimately quite powerful as the walking motion allows the device to work at an impressive speed to get where you're going in a short amount of time while still burning calories.
