Wearable Motorcycle

The transportation program at the Art Center College of Design has produced legendary car designers, including BMW chief of design Chris Bangle and Henrik Fisker, the creator of the Fisker Karma electric supercar. But this year, after professor Bumsuk Lim’s inaugural motorcycle-design class, the buzz is all about bikes, especially Jake Loniak’s exoskeleton motorcycle concept Deus Ex Machina.

That's not a motorcycle. That's a trike.

Wow. That's different! Not for me, though. And I'd probably wreck my car if I saw one while on the road!

I would love it! When I ride my bike, I love scraping down along the ground in tight leans at drastic angles, as the road rips along inches from my feet (or maybe not even that far away - I tend to scrape up my boots quite a bit when I turn). This contraption looks like it might get me even closer to the road I love.

I just watched the video, Red. That looks like so much fun! Blows the Segway out of the water.

wouldn't it be uncomfortable having to bend your knees like that while you are just moving around slightly. I wonder the cost an engeneer wants to take out on making this thing real.....

You've never ridden a real motorcycle before, have you? That would actually be a very comfortable position for a bike rider.

Reminds me of those Wheelers, from the movie Return to Oz.
