DTV Shredder By Ben Gulak

He entered his first Uno through Team Canada during the 2008 international science fair. The vehicle had its first public unveiling at the Toronto Spring Motorcycle Show in 2008, and was awarded a Top-10 prize on Popular Science's list of 2008 Invention Awards In an episode of the CBC series Dragons' Den, Gulak obtained $1,250,000 of venture capital for a 20% share in further development of the Uno cycle. He also appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to talk about the project.
He put off attending MIT for a year to work on the project, raising funds and moving to Boston to open a small office in Cambridge. He started the company BPG Motors to develop the motorcycle. He enrolled in MIT in fall of 2008.
• The Shredder
At age 22 while at MIT, Gulak created the DTV Shredder, an all-terrain vehicle. According to Gulak, "In a recession it doesn’t make sense to have to buy an expensive snowmobile that you can ride for three months of the year and an all-terrain vehicle that you can ride for four months of the year. I wanted to make something small enough that you could fit it in the back of any car. And I wanted it to be something you’d be able to ride all year, whether in snow, sand, or mud." The small vehicle has Segway-like handlebars, wheels similar to tank treads, and can tow up to 400 pounds.
