The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design has been giving out their Good Design Award since 1950; the update to the 59-year-old accolade is the Green Good Design Award, intended to “emphasize the importance of sustainable design and to develop a public awareness program to the international general public about which companies are doing the best job in sustainable design for our world environments.”

Florida-based Robrady Design has just racked up a GGDA for their Vectrix Electric Super Bike, a zero-emissions piece of bad-assery that also got nods from the people at Red Dot and IDEA.
