Imagine instead of simply sporting jeans, a leather jacket and your helmet, you could actually wear your motorcycle. Well, Jake Loniak imagined that possibility, and developed a graphic prototype of a three-wheeled vehicle worn by the driver.
The prototype includes a helmet and harness to safely attach the eco-friendly "bike" to the driver. Potentially able to accellerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in three seconds or less, the Deus Ex Machina will run for roughly an hour on each charge (yes, it's electric). Perhaps it would not be ideal for long trips, but as it would only take fifteen minutes to fully charge, future presence of charging stations could outweigh that inconvenience.
The "bike" is designed so that it shifts to your position. For example, when you lean forward to accelerate, the three arms that control the wheels shift to stremline you and the vehicle. While the Deus Ex Machina is not yet being produced, it's catching interest of manufacturers, reviewers and consumers alike for the fact that it would really be the first of its kind.
