Deus Ex Machina: The wearable motorcycle

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.

Full story here.

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.
