Riding a motorcycle is really cool and the adrenaline is a really nice feeling. Well, somebody thought to change the way that the motorcycle will transport you. Jake Loniak, a student at the Art Center College of Design, has came up with a system that will act as an extension of your body.
His idea came from Biomechatronics and he dubbed his concept as the Deux Ex Machina and will consist of an vertically parking motorcycle that will be managed by 36 pneumatic muscles with 2 linear actuators. The Deus Ex Machina is Yamaha-branded and it will be worn as an exo-skeleton and the helmet will be pneumatically attached.
The in-wheel motor will be able to power the motorcycle from 0 to 60mph in 3 seconds and it will have a maximum speed of 75mph. The Deus Ex Machina is electric and it can cycle one hour with a recharge time of 15 minutes.
Your comments are SUPPOSED to be about the motorcycle! The real ButtHoles are those who seize every opportunity to slander anyone they disagree with.
Regarding the motorcycle… I’d rather be lying on top of a bike, than dangling under one!
Stop with all the Political stuff. Where and when can I order one? Better yet get me 4 ea. I will get three of my fello, real motorcyclest to join me. We will go race the things. The rest of you can watch us have all the fun. Quit your bitchen and lighten up. Enjoy, I sure would. After 60 years of racing any thing I could get my hands on, this looks like a blast.
See you at the next start line. Remember, ‘When the flag drops the BS stops.’
PS It would be better with a 4 stroke 100 hp motorcycle motor in it.

Awesome Bike !
I don’t care if it looks a little dangerous - it makes my adrenal glands surge just looking at it.
As for all the international dialogue.
Please remember, we’ve all done things we’re not proud of.
Hopefully, we’ll all eventually learn that each of us have made significant contributions to the overall well-being of the world and will learn to value that over everything else.
Nice design. It actully looks a bit more stable with the 3 wheeled design. I like the fact that it comes with a built in helmet.
Hit one bump and your gone! xD
kno won America rules.
great design! But there’s a reason you only see this kind of thing on sci-fi art, in fact there’s a ton of reasons, just off the top of my head.
Narrowed target market right there. The position of the body on acceleration is ridiculous, there’s only one other vehicle you “drive” like that - an hand glider, or delta wing - in wich case it’s fine since you’re not going to be looking upwards the whole ride, on this bike though, you’d end up with serious problems after regular use. Not to mention, unless that helmet comes with an air supply, you’d be sucking in on all the exhaust pipes on your way to work. Also, the attractiveness of being able to dodge traffic is gone on a three wheel vehicle like this, no way you’ll be going between cars with it.
First of all you need an whole different class of license to be eligible to drive this, you’d also have to be fit to do it, so it seems like in order to drive the bike you’d first have to jog a lot…
If it’s indeed up for manufacturing: good luck!
best invention ever, and u wouldnt die any faster than on a normal motorcycle so stop bitching
Wow… almost nothing about the design …. stop fucking getting off topic you idiots >< great design, might be kool if you could make it a little more practical, and less dangerous… rather then max of 70 (or 60 i can’t remember anymore after all the posts) make it like 40 so it’s an ‘in town’ vehicle rather then trying to go on free ways w/ a hour battery life.
Hell Yes !!! I want one ASAP !!!
ThinkBike dot co dot za
PS : Extending the Yamaha connection - Imagine one with an R1 motor !!!
i think it would be cool to try to drive it in a cleared out warehouse or somthin
Why am I suddenly reminded of an episode of south park?
South Park resemblance indeed.
