Deus Ex
Art Center College of Design student Jake Loniak presents a concept, electric vertically parking motorcycle controlled by 36 pneumatic muscles with 2 linear actuators. Just the ticket for commuting in MegaTor.
The Yamaha-branded Deus Ex concept is worn as an exo-skeleton with seven artificial vertebra as well as the pneumatically attached helmet. The motor is in-wheel, powered by ultra-capacitors and doped nano-phoshpate batteries similar to those already used in hybrids, and is capable of 0-60mph in 3 seconds. Top speed is 75mph with a recharge time of 15 minutes and cycle time of 1 hour.

I can't believe they didn't post video. How can a firm unveil something like this and yet fail to provide requisite video to the PR flacks?
I am fully on board with the Judge Dredd MegaToronto concept BTW.
