The Dycycle Dyson Tricycle by Adam Alpine 06
Do you hate doing vacuum in your house or an apartment? I do. It is so frustrating and tiring that after finishing couple of rooms, you can't take it further. There are some vacuum robots from Roomba that are pretty neat but again you have to do lot of cleaning from the floor before you can put your Roomba iRobot at work.

Wish you had a ride-on vacuum cleaner just like a ride-on mowers? Well your wish has been granted..
The object designer Adam Alpine is trying to accomplish is “to push a brand [Dyson] beyond its product genre maintaining the brands design principles.” To maintain the principles of a vacuum brand in a toy vehicle.

In this vehicle, the rider lies forward on the front giant Dysonesque wheel. The rider pushes the handlebars forward, engaging the double planetary gear system -also used in monster trucks to increase torque for minimal power. The back wheels act as giant ball bearings allowing a hubless rear.

The feet. Your feet. Where will you put them. The back wheels, since they work on ball bearings, have that space in the center where the foot can sit. The hub-less wheel also incorporates a foot-actuated caliper break.
