    Wearable Yamaha motorcycle concept

    http://www.greencardesign.co.uk/site...y=news&subcat=

    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



    what do you think?
    Made you look

    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.

    lol hard case alright, some interesting ideas for sure
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    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
