Taking the best of both worlds, Wesll Corp has combine the high ground clearance and wheel travel of a moto-cross bike with the grip and balance of a four wheel ATV. The extreme leaning that Wesll is able to acheive out of this built concept is due to a leaning mechanism that consists of two control arms and hinges on the unsprung side of the shocks. “The lower control arm is decoupled from that shock, allowing 28 inches of travel, which in turn permits lean angles Wesll claims are in excess of 50 degrees. Because four wheels have more grip than two and leaning shifts the center of gravity lower and to the inside of a corner, these machines should also have more cornering grip than equivalent non-leaning quads.” Check out the videos after the jump.

For the light-hearted and playful spenders out there, check out these Liberty Walk & LB Performance Mini-Murcielago 4×4 ATVs. Something tells us you’re not going to hit the hills with these babies, but they would make a great ride in any rap music video. They of course pale in comparison to the World’s Fastest ATV which hits 0-50mph in 5.7 seconds, but that ride isn’t fit for music videos. These baller toys were on display at the Tokyo 2009 Auto Show, some cross branding if you ask us…check out the gallery below.

Winter is upon us, and what better way to get around than a gas powered snowboard? Combine the snowmobile and snowboard and surf over the deepest fresh powder or packed, granular snow. It reminds us of Jimmy D’z Motorized Snowboard, which would beat Hammacker’s model 35mph to 18mph. But if you’re looking for a more skooter-like ride, this gas powered snowboard runs on a 1 3/4″ rubber track that flexes as you lean in the direction you want to go, just like a regular snowboard. The gas powered snowboard runs off a 6 1/2hp four cylinder engine which accomadates riders up to 250lbs. The gas powered snowboard will appeal to the Skier and snowboarder and will run you only $2,000.

Future SUV-limo conversions include a 220 inch addition to the Chevy Tahoe and a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. If you’re looking to go green with a stretch limo the Chevy Tahoe Hybrid will run you just under $100,000.

Built by Bad Ass Golf exclusively for the Palms Casino in Las Vegas, this tricked-out mini truck shines with its “Palms Green” paint job. While it’s not quite as custom as the Show Stopper Hummer cart we brought you back in December, the Palms Cart might look even better than the Show Stopper if it had its dubs, Gucci seats, and headrest LCD’s.
Since Bad Ass Golf prides itself on its customization abilities, we’re sure you could add those mods to your Escalade cart, which runs $19,850 as pictured. Note: if you want to see the Palms Escalade in person, it will be making the rounds at all NHRA Drag Racing events this year.
