yabadabapal Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 You actually put this (motorcycle) on like clothes. It has 36 pneumatic muscles that you control through the movement of your body. It is called a motorcycle. Maybe, maybe not. Interesting. Take a lookseee. http://www.popsci.com/cars/article/2008-08/wearable-motorcycle Link to comment
BeemerLover Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Wow, very interesting..... can't figure out where the engine is.... Link to comment
Quinn Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 It's electric and apparenting it has hub motors according to the into blurb on the video. Looks like a lot of fun, but wonder how comfortable it would be hanging forward on straps. Maybe G.W. would have done better on it than on the Segway. Link to comment
Polo Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Interesting, I imagine it would feel close to flying. There is nothing between the body and whatever is out there, the elements, debree, a small bird, insects, or worse a deer would impact the operator directly. They would also have to develop a front strap-on wheel for those wth an overly developed belly though... Link to comment
upflying Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Looks like a new type of wheelchair for a quadriplegic. Link to comment
yabadabapal Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Bob Thats an incredible idea. Im not kidding! With the minimal ability of a quadriplegics muscle to respond to messages, this 36 pneumatic muscle machine could be tuned to each patient to coordinate and respond. Link to comment
