They claim it to be the biggest LSA ever built. It’s so big that you can sleep in it, carry bicycles, kayaks, or any other gear. The Ecoflyer two-seat light sport aircraft is a composite airplane with a single piston engine. The guys behind the Ecoflyer are the ones who developed Private Explorer, a flying motor home designed for aero-tourism. The interior of the plane is done in Nextel suede coating and features two seats with movable backrests, bed for two persons, and 152 cubic feet of space. An Ecoflyer prototype has already hit the skies. If you are an affluent flying enthusiast on the hunt for a spacious sport aircraft, you can order the Ecoflyer sport aircraft for a mere $100,000. Deliveries are to be done by late 2009.

In the past, we have seen comfy and luxurious airplane seating systems, including the Etihad Airways’ Diamond Seat with 180 degrees swivel, Singapore Airlines’ luxury seating system, Korean Air’s gadget-loaded coach cabin and many others. Now, Japan Airlines has the honor of receiving their fourth Good Design Award for the shell-shaped Premium Economy seats. The JAL Sky Shell Seat claims to make you feel like being inside a hammock floating in the sky. With a shell shape covering the back of the seat, the new Sky Shell Seat touts a mechanism that lets the on-board passengers recline by sliding their seat forward. All seats have JAL´s high-tech Audio/Video on Demand (AVOD) in-flight entertainment system. Every seat comes with a 9-inch video screen, standard footrest, a leg-support, a power outlet for your gizmos, and a cocktail tray for placing drinks in the center console between the seats.

If by any chance you don’t have a treadmill at home simply because you enjoy exercising at the gym, but are now planning to get one for your home, then the Smooth Fitness TV Treadmill is an affordable option. The 9.45 TV Treadmill features patented motion control which allows you to adjust the speed with a simple wave of your hand. Speed up, slow down or stop the machine without ever touching the console, the hydra suspension system feature allows you to custom adjust the shock absorption to the 12 different levels that can accommodate any style of running, 15″ LCD TV with Coaxial and RGB connections set into its own separate frame to render it shock-proof. The television has high-fidelity built-in speakers for surround sound. But what it doesn’t have is an iPod jack, so you won’t be able to enjoy your favorite music. So, if you don’t mind that then you can get one for a discounted price of $2,888 as compared to its original price of $5,397.

And, if you are looking for the best of the treadmills, then we would suggest you to go with any of these: Lifefiteness iPod Treadmill, Technogym Excite Run 700i, Evolve Foldaway Treadmill.

We have earlier told you about Japanese Karakuri sake-serving robot which was an updated model of their Tea Serving Doll. But if you are a coffee lover then we have also told you about Justine, the robot from Naples university professor Bruno Sicilano that can make instant coffee in a jiffy . The latest coffee-serving robot, called Cafero, comes from Korea’s Yujin Robot. The entertainment robot Cafero was unveiled at the Robot World 2008 held in Korea. No other details are yet available — except if you can guess its functioning from the pictures available — else keep guessing if Cafero just lands you a helping hand in serving (look at the picture with the lady helping the robot with placing coffee cups) or if it can make coffee on its own. If it can brew the coffee from your automatic coffee machine and serve, it would be just fine…what do you think?

Whoa! I am falling short of words to praise this stunning bar and lounge by famed visionary architect Zaha Hadid. It appears as she has designed some concept racing car. Well, this glossy space-age metallic bar designed for Home House in London has sculpted metallic surfaces finished with car paint or with silvered leather. The amazing racing car-inspired bar and lounge project was showcased when Hadid’s collaboration with Lacoste on a range of footwear was projected in the space-age new interior for London’s historic Home House. I don’t think they are offering this space-age metallic bar for the masses, but one thing is for sure — that it would look simply outstanding and only one of a kind inside our homes.

The pictured above is literally a gorgeous green baby. Inspired by the iconic Cooper Climax F1 car and Le Mans type race cars of the ’50s, the Climax is a British mid engine, two-seat, open sports car that runs on bio-ethanol. The Climax is able to run both on bio-ethanol and unleaded petrol. Bespoke, exclusive, and hand-finished, the bio-ethanol-powered supercar comes equipped with flip-up aero–screens, detachable F1 style steering wheel, retractable tonneau cover and a Climax Control that can enhance the car’s performance. The body of the gorgeous sports car is beautifully crafted from aluminum. You also have the option to go for carbon fiber. The car gets from 0-60mph in less than four seconds, while the claimed top speed is 170 mph. If you have some strong eco values, the Climax sports car is one great option to consider. Customers can customize the Climax with a range of color and interior options available. Only 100 units will be put into production with each costing €100,000 (approx. US $135,000).

The luxury wristwatch market is flooded with fakes these days, and it’s kinda hard to tell the difference between the two. But now, Swiss watchmaker Vacheron Constantin is claiming to have made a wristwatch that is impossible to counterfeit. Dubbed the Quai de I’lle, the watch features invisible UV marking, laser perforations, high-security inks, and other techniques employed to secure passports and currencies. Some of the models available in this watch collection tout tiny text on the dials, which can be read only with the help of a magnifying glass. Pricing starts at $12,000 for the “impossible to counterfeit” wristwatch and can go as high as $60,000, depending on the styles and deterrents used. They have plans to make 800 Quai de I’lles a year.

If you think your new luxury bike might not be just enough to show the world that you command respect, you should definitely look for something so exclusive that only a handful of people can afford to buy. While the one-off, legendary British-made Vincent Black Lightning motorbike couldn’t manage to break the world speed record in 1950, it’s going to break the world record for the most expensive motorcycle ever sold at auction this Sunday. Experts are expecting the Vintage Black to go for between $400,000 and $600,000 at Bonhams‘ Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show sale in Stafford, UK. The legendary bike is in excellent condition. The current record is held by a 1915 Cyclone that went for $520,000.

Very much like the popular Metronaps Energypod, Napshell Sleeping Cocoon, and the Transport Pod Bed, the “Bubble of Silence” has been designed to create the perfect environment to avoid the noisy and stressful world. The exteriors of the Bubble have been influenced by natural ornaments such as shells, pebbles, cocoons and bubbles while the interiors make sure you are completely at ease. The sliding table is there inside to fit any body size and the sober colors help relax the brain. The basic idea behind the Bubble of Silence was to have a peaceful and stress-free place in noisy environments such as offices, restaurants or commercial premises.

Camping requirements have grown just a little more diverse. If you want your family and friends to take pleasure in the great outdoor expeditions, you need to have a look at Action Mobil’s new Globecruiser. The comfy beast, which is based on the MAN TGA 6×6 platform, will kinda shatter the poor roads on the move. Designed for adventure seekers, the Globecruiser model gets its power from a 783ci turbodiesel engine that pumps out a very respectable 388 kW. The 4 x 240W solar system supports the batteries and LPG tanks. Other features include heated air-suspension seats and satellite systems that help you in case you are lost somewhere in the wild. The two fuel tanks can store 219 gallons and yes, the refill cost is going to make you tight-lipped. One refill will set you back a cool $800. Forget the refill costs; the Globecruiser itself carries a stocky price tag of €490,000 (US $670,000), not much for a MANly drive. More shots after the jump.

This luxury motoryacht concept called, The Eden by Daniel Hahn, a German design professional, is drool-worthy owing to its sleek lines and luxurious silhouette. The “Eden” name itself is intended to evoke “desirability, freedom and personal space.” The 21 meter (72 foot) fast motoryacht is powered by a pair of 1,250 horsepower inboard engines. The hull and body of the Eden is formed from two primary materials to provide an interesting contrast. The lower hull section is formed from lightweight carbon fiber, while the main body of the craft is sculpted from wood to give it a luxurious finish. The yacht features a single-piece windshield to keep the overall shape as slippery as possible. Even the anchor is integrated into the body. The interior of the speedyacht has room for 3 guests and a single crew member. The proposed range at maximum speed (40 knots) is 360 miles.
