Motorcycles

Many people wonder what the motorcycle of the future will look like. Will it still have the same design and features as the current motorcycles or will it look completely out of the ordinary? According Jake Loniak – a student at Art Center Pasadena – motorcycles will be cooler and much more environment friendly.

The bike is called Deus Ex Machina, which means God Out of a Machine, the vehicle is a blend between a motorcycle and an exoskeleton. Featuring seven artificial vertebrae, thirty-six pneumatic muscles and a head of its own, the Yamaha-branded concept looks like something out a child’s worst nightmare. As speed increases, though, the two front wheels move outward, forcing the rider into a proper forward lean which resembles a current motorcycle stance more closely.

In-wheel electric motors get their juice from a hybrid power pack made from Doped NanoPhosphate batteries and ultracapacitors. The designer believes that the machine could accelerate to sixty in three seconds and reach a top speed of seventy-five miles per hour. Sure, we’re not likely to see anything like this in production in the near future, but it sure is cool to look at.
