World's Smallest Food Truck?

I think it is way cool that someone used a Smart Fortwo to create the worlds smallest food truck. The article is at Eater.com - 'World's Smallest Food Truck Inside A Smart'.
I think it is very clever what they did to make it possible. Follow the link and find out what was done to it.
It is not exactly contained in the vehicle but I still think it qualifies as a 'food truck' and in it - sort of - is in one vehicle.
Here is a Youtube video of the Smart Fortwo (ForFood?) food truck.
The Chicago Tribune has the story for this one - a breakfast burrito 'truck' - at the link above. I like the color and that it uses a Smart Fortwo. I wonder how well a Smart Forfour would work?

Not Smart But Still Smart?

This helicopter - Smartcopter - is not Smart car related but I am showing it since it has Smart in its name and I think it is a nice design. I found the site since I was looking for items with 'smart' in its name. Perhaps if it had a 'tridon' painted on it, it might be more 'Smart' related?
I believe it - like the Smart Fortwo - seats two people. 
I am looking for more information. The company started years ago but there does not seem much progress with it or the company.

A Lit Smart?

While the C1 from Lit Motors is not a Smart Fortwo, it does give me the impression of one from the side. It is an electric self balancing vehicle that seats one. I hope they are able to bring it into production. I think it is really cool. If it was a Smart, perhaps it would be called a ForOne ED?
It says it can seat two but the person behind the driver looks like they would be in a very tight and uncomfortable position. Unless they make it longer, I would say it is for one person.

Smart eScooter; going green and being cool.

There is an article on Autoblog about the Smart eScooter. The article is about the eScooter being part of the Car2Go. I was more interested in the photos they had of it.
I think this fits in well with the Smart Fortwo ED since both are battery powered and - IMO - cool looking.
I am glad the real scooter was not that far off from the concept.




Smart eBike is eCool.

I think the Smart eBike is eCool. It looks nice and has a battery electric power to help when needed. This eBike would be great around town and as a last mile transportation.
I think this would look cool on a bike rack on the back of my Smart Fortwo.

Michalak C7? Smart Car Based Roadster?

I think the Michalak C7 is really neat looking. It uses a Smart Fortwo as the donor vehicle. I think it can compete with other roadsters in style. I do not know how it performs but it does it in style. I think Smart should consider it or something like it when (not if) they introduce a new roadster (and not just in Europe but also in the US).

I have suggested it to Smart Madness - the store and forum for Smart car owners and fans - but I don't know if they are willing to open a franchise or even make just one (it would be neat even if only one is made).
Smart Madness is not limited to the Smart but also have items and forums for other vehicles (like the Fiat 500 ). 

One Smart Plane?

I think it is neat that Fly Eco chose the diesel engine from the Smart Fortwo to power their airplane. It looks really nice too. I think it is both a Smart way and a green way to power an airplane. With diesel, one could use bio fuels which would make it even greener.
