I doubt you will see this anytime soon at your local LL Bean outlet--but you never know...
Jake Loniak, a college junior at the Art Center College of Design, has come up with this wild piece of personal transportation: the Deus Ex Machina, as he calls it. Basically it's a vehicle that you put on, much like a coat; the difference being this is a coat with wheels and a motor.
How cool is that? I'd say the young Mr. Loniak has a promising future in transportation design ahead of him.

Movie: Return to Oz
Year: 1985
One word: Wheelers.
I'll probably have nightmares for a week now, wondering when wheelers will be a reality.
Thanks, Bob. ;)

It's just a 3D computer model.
As good as designing a toy robot, in which there are millions of these.

Yawn. This story is like 3 months old.
This concept was already re-branded as a Yamaha in a presentation, so you know someone in the motorcycle industry is paying attention.
