Bicycles and motorcycles are small-sized convenient vehicles that can weave through the congested and busy traffic. But some has taken some crazy ideas to get themselves that extra attention on the roads. Let’s take a look at some of the wacky ideas.
Tired of walking? Now you can ‘walk’ with the Walking Bicycle. The tyres are made of shoes which make it ‘walk’ literally. In a demonstration, the bike does work but it takes an awful lot of effort to ride one. Unless you are capable of handling this mean machine, I think walking will be a better option.
Getting a bicycle despite the economy meltdown with short budget? Here’s a Cardboard Bike which cost US$30. Other than the chains and tyres, the bike is entirely made of cardboard. This has helped to shave the cost of a typical bike. Seems like a pretty innovative idea but it is one I would not invest in. I do question the functionality in reality when it comes to crashes, fire, weight and rain. Any warranty to cover me if I needed a refund or repair after buying it? I’m tickled.
Lastly, the future encompasses the ever-advancing technology. A student, together with Yamaha has created the ride of the future, Deus Ex Machina. It is a wearable motorcycle in the form of exoskeleton. It is even environmentally friendly, running on hybrid power.
I think the wearable bike seems very feasible and unique among all. The idea of controlling the bike in sync with the user’s body movements is just way awesome, and I am a firm supporter of hybrid technology. It makes me want to own one as well! Coolios.
