Jake Loniak, a student at Art Center Pasadena, guided by Professor Bumsuk Lim, has come out with a convention shattering idea of what a two-wheeler could look like. Christened Deus Ex Machina (meaning God Out of a Machine) the vehicle design represents something that’s a cross between a motorcycle and a wearable ‘Matrix’ style machine.
The new design features seven artificial vertebrae, thirty-six pneumatic muscles and a head of its own. The Yamaha branded concept looks somewhat like a new character out of the Transformers movie. The concept is designed to move the front wheels outwards as speed increases. Hybrid power packs from Doped Nano Phosphate batteries will power the in-wheel electric motors. The machine is said to have a capability to accelerate to 60mph in 3 seconds flat, with a top speed of 75 mph. We don’t think the concept will make it to production in near future, but it remains a fantastic exercise in design without doubt.
