- Skanadian, on 06/01/2008, -10/+49That is one of the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
- inactive, on 05/31/2008, -3/+23super cool!
http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2008/05/art-cent ... - Bakdan87, on 06/01/2008, -1/+20It comes with an attached helmet. So let me get this straight; you get in an accident, you go flying, but your head is attached to the motorcycle.
BAD IDEA! - spoo71, on 06/01/2008, -5/+16Where are the cupholders?
- dinostabOMG, on 06/01/2008, -1/+12How is that different from a regular motorcycle?
- ZephyrNinety, on 06/01/2008, -0/+10That is the ***** opposite of safe.
- mrzeero, on 06/01/2008, -0/+10Reminds me of Chrysler's short lived neck belts.
http://www.theonion.com/content/news/chrysler_halt ... - inactive, on 05/31/2008, -1/+10I wonder how long it takes to get into that thing... very cool though!
- elambing, on 06/01/2008, -0/+8its hot rod red
- zzmonki, on 06/01/2008, -0/+8Oh silly art students...
- mrzeero, on 06/01/2008, -0/+7It is because you get to meet god shortly after you start riding it.
- inactive, on 06/01/2008, -4/+11Is it the future of transportation?
No.
This has been another in our series of simple answers to simple questions. - andymci, on 06/01/2008, -1/+7Future of transportation?
Short answer: No. - mrzeero, on 06/01/2008, -0/+6That will take care of itself when your head is torn off of your body.
- inactive, on 06/01/2008, -1/+7Also that guy who loves to ***** cars.
- pegothejerk, on 06/01/2008, -0/+6I'm not sure anything related to Christopher Reeves is a good selling point for transportation.
- inactive, on 06/01/2008, -2/+8At least you look cooler riding a regular motorcycle.
- onemanwaking, on 06/01/2008, -1/+7Deus Ex Machina = God From the Machine
A little pretentious, no? - cyreeo, on 06/01/2008, -0/+6I wouldn't wish it on anybody, but the thought of someone slamming into a brick wall on one of those kind of makes me laugh.
- ElbertF, on 06/01/2008, -0/+6Until you have a frontal crash with a regular bike.
- mrzeero, on 06/01/2008, -1/+7They should have called it the Human Skid Plate.
- Chairmonkey, on 06/01/2008, -0/+6Kinetica?
- TheAbdBoy, on 06/01/2008, -0/+5So is it an Autobot or a Decepticon?
- elliotys, on 06/01/2008, -3/+7"Add a little Fire Engine Red."
- Takfam, on 06/01/2008, -1/+5If you live your life not doing anything because you might die, you'll still die in the end and you'll have lead one hell of a boring life.
- ControlcChris, on 06/01/2008, -5/+9Yeah that would be fun right up until a mack truck hits you at 80 and you are ***** dead.
- inactive, on 06/01/2008, -0/+4^ the designer.
- hiPpymIck, on 06/01/2008, -0/+4from the comments FTA
"You don't ride standing up. It's only in standing position when you're getting in/out. The front wheels pitch forward, while the back wheel extends back when you're riding, putting the rider nearly parallel to the ground."
"This would be a zero-emissions speed demon, if the concept turns out like it should, mind you. Not very fast on top speed but 0-60 in three seconds?"
so it might be a bit like flying like superman at an altitude of 2 feet
could be fun - zephyr42, on 06/01/2008, -1/+5Just to let everyone know it's not a slow vehicle, yamaha motors doesn't make slow.... ever. That being said, this prototype/concept will fold down at higher speeds so you would basically be facing the ground flying along like superman.
- kb29, on 06/01/2008, -0/+4OH, you mean this:

Submitted 9 days ago. - lmphil, on 06/01/2008, -0/+3just imagine one of those wheels getting loose like on a shopping cart.
- charlie55, on 06/01/2008, -0/+3i think i would rather ride a bike.
- carpespasm, on 06/01/2008, -0/+3you don't want to know. trust me.
- Terasiel, on 06/01/2008, -0/+3About time! Now I can change my name to Johnny and wait for some punk haired kid and some girls to show up and race me through the labcity!
- X-Istence, on 06/01/2008, -0/+3Why is this on the frontpage of Digg, AGAIN? This is the second or third time that I have seen it on the frontpage.
- Amadeus2490, on 06/01/2008, -0/+3I'm sorry, but as soon as I viewed the picture, I started laughing; this the most retarded technological thing i've ever seen on Digg.
- decavolt, on 06/01/2008, -0/+3How exactly is this "wearable" any more than a car is "wearable"?? It's not as though you can fold the thing up and keep it all in a backpack without it crushing your spine. You can't collapse it without detaching it and do your grocery shopping. And with acceleration of "zero to sixty in 3 seconds" the title should have been "Trike of Death".
- theRich, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2They had this idea in Macross with the MOSPEADA, making for cool toys:
http://www.collectiondx.com/node/2346 - Zephik, on 06/02/2008, -0/+2I was actually thinking the same thing at first. Then I imagined actually riding in one. Now I just think it _looks_ retarded, but I bet you it would be fun as hell to ride in. At least, if it rides anything like how my imagination is portraying the experience to be.
Still though, I'd take a Ninja 250R over one of these any day of the week. - Stormwern, on 06/01/2008, -2/+4Obs! Do not drive uphill.
- CDoug03, on 06/01/2008, -1/+3laziness knows no bounds
- AnthonyJr, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2School boys playing with eggs and paintballs will have a lot of fun with this thing.
- rctech, on 06/02/2008, -0/+2Guess where the front wheel is gonna hit ya? Ouch...
- DalamarArgent, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2You read my mind.
- wastelander, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2Some more photos here of the "transformation":
http://www.designergallery.org/2008/05/25/art-stud ... - crtalen2, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2Dorothy! Beware the Wheelers!!!
- Amadeus2490, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2I did, in fact, view all of the pictures. I still laughed.
- Omano, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2What about battle Angel Alita? Motor Ball anyone?
- unique172, on 06/01/2008, -0/+2As long as you don't need to stop quickly...
