Awesome Gates

You’re supposed to park your car in your driveway, not in front of it. This whimsical motorized gate in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil has a slice of a hatchback welded to its front, so it looks like the car is driving along the sidewalk whenever the gate opens or closes.

Handy Geng was tired of getting off of his scooter to open the gates to his workshop, so he decided to motorize one of them. Rather than use an off-the-shelf motor, he rigged up a mount and attached his scooter to do the work. Now he needs to buy a second scooter to ride through the gate. English subtitles available.
