The Yike Bike, a new electric two-wheeled transportation unit was introduced to European audiences recently in hopes that it might spark some interest in a larger worldwide market. The bike is completely electric and runs for about 10km on a 30-minute charge. The bike features anti-skid brakes, built-in light indicators, and a top speed of 20kph.

I personally think riding an actual bicycle is better for your health and looks a lot cooler, but I won’t knock the Yike Bike because it does look like it has some fun bundled into its ultra-compact design. Check out the demonstration video below and the images after the video.

The new Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX can track on glass thanks to a new revolutionary laser tracking technology called Darkfield Laser Tracking that can detect microscopic details on just about any surface (with glass, the surface has to be at least 4mm thick).

At $80, the Anywhere Mouse MX is pricey but it saves a lot of headache I’m sure.

This is a fantastic remixed video of the original Did You Know? presentation by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Bronman. This video adds new music and some better typography and visualizations to further drive home the point about the speed at which technology is advancing. [via]

I believe I posted this before, but here’s the original video with a bit more facts.
