Self Balancing Compact Loader

Skid steer compact loader can reduce tire wear and slip with a computer controlled self balancing system. Low pressure tires ensure excellent grip in loose soil.

Solar Trail Tail

Overlanding vehicles could be powered by a series of connected trailers. Each carrying a solar panel contributing to power the main tractor vehicle.
When not in us,e the trailers can be collapsed and stacked on top.

Tiny changes makes it more palatable, yet remaining very cyber punk.

Rear wheel arch resonate with dominant lines of the vehicle.
Pickup bed sides heritage are emphasized with graphic design.
Symbolic sized roof over B-pillar projects speed and movement.
A slight notch on the front hood is the grinning snout of a wild beast.
Bumpers anchors a vehicle to the ground by its outer corners in a confident stance.

Idea for Memory padlock

Memory padlock

A padlock that opens with a large number of keys 
but also records the unique number of last key to unlock.
