    Its the Yamaha Tesseract hybrid four-wheeled motorcycle! Prototype only so far but I have a feeling this little baby will hit the streets before too long and this one will be Eco Friendly πŸ˜‰ It looks like the new 'tilters' are becoming all the rage.

      In my books nothing that burns gasoline and is used mainly for fun can be called eco-friendly...

        Hi Anssi,

        I partly agree with you on this but this machine will also have an electric motor / hybrid system. I also think that it could be used for short commutes as most of us at present end up in 1 ton cars that have three or more empty seats. This four wheel bike might also encourage people that would not otherwise consider motorbikes as a safe form of transport to have a go!

        So I think in a good way these new vehicles are a move towards eco friendliness and I see no harm in making them fun vehicles at the same time.

        Mike

          Hey Mike that's pretty cool but I think I'd prefer this quadricycle . 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds could be lots of fun at stoplights. πŸ’š

            LOL

            That looks crazy, almost like somebody bought two bikes in kit form with Korean build instructions and ended with the above.

              I think Mike would have trouble with the fuel consumption of that monster quadricycle. It really is more of a show than go vehicle. In contrast this gyroscope stabilized unicycle concept promises to be both fun and environmentally friendly.

                I suppose not everyone would have the guts to hop on one of those unicycles. Some of you guys would probably be more comfortable driving one of these babies . πŸ˜’

                  Yeah, the armchair jobs looks good but we don't get the weather for one, maybe the leather two seater would be okay πŸ˜„

                    The only advantage I see over a motorcycle is that you don't have to put your feet down when you stop. And it looks real cool?
