Motorcycles have been around for more than 100 years, more than cars, and evoke very primitive and essential emotions in their riders. “If you get down to basics”, says Lim, “a motorcycle is a sign of freedom! We ride because we like the open air feeling, the raw power, and the freedom of movement!” However, there are obvious limitations in terms of what the user can do with a motorcycle. You cannot carry more than 2 people, you cannot take excessive luggage, you might drop a bike, and its overall image is that it is dangerous.

basically it's a really weird looking three-wheeled yamaha designed to be completley green and safe. i dunno about you guys but it just doesnt look that 'cool'

Charging time: 15 mins
Cycle time: 60 mins
0-60 mph in 3 secs
top speed 75 mph

Waa..
quite weird ey...
Not really sure about the sensations "wearing" this, and might not be really cool when too windy..and what about in corners?

I can see the point of the bottom one. Maybe safer for the masses to ride.

The top one, totally stupid. It'll be unstable and cause just as much congestion as a car, due to it's width.

The standing up ones look kinda lame, but i love those performance stats. Great to see some alt-energy vechelis being worked on.

This is what a friend of mine had to say after i showed him the page.

Sean says:
that first pic of the bike/trike thing looks like a bumsuk

Sean says:
some kind of futuristic toilet that sucks the shit outta your ass

Sean says:
would be so lol seeing someone riding one of them, from side on it would look like they getting fucked from behind by a robot
