Bicycles.
Human achievement has to summed up in this one machine, because it can almost go on any land surface and has also been adapted for the microlight.
There are some really clever concepts or takes, but what they lack is a seat as the bike has. Solar power, if the machine can be dual powered will be a great leap forward. A machine for the people, easy to repare and maintain.
Two, three wheels, tandems, racing, and a few more versions now exist and that seems to be the end of the human capability with this simple machine?
It is strange that no one as yet has thought outside the box with the bicycle?

Alternative Concepts.
Why replace the Bicycle?
Do you ever watch those science and tech programmes on you Televisions, ipads, computers and Sat-TV, that show some silly alternatives to the Bicyle?
I have come to the conclusion, that many of these new high-tech inventions could cause one more serious harm to our bodies than improve our health. Many of these alternatives have come to the fore, to encourage us to try and excercise. But then why don't you just get a bike, or a dog and go for a walk!
If we want to be serious then to start with a saddle is perhaps the best idea, from there we can develop a lighter machine. The fold up is perhaps the greatest invention for the bike, then comes those ultra-light racing bikes. But still it retains its basic shape, my challenge to you out there 'great inventors is to improve what you have, while retaining the flexability of what you have.
It will only be time, that will show us what we can do with two wheels, to make it 3-4 or more, but remain a human powered vehicle?
