Holy...

Looks scary! Nothing like giving a deer a hug at 70 mph.

It's funny they call it "god on a machine"

If there are 3 wheels, and only one is propelling the vehicle, WHY aren't the other two being utilized to regenerate / recharge the internal battery, making a closed loop system? I mean the other two wheels are spinning too, and much faster than the props in a windfarm....

And yeah, I like the idea alot, but so freekin deadly. It's almost like Gundam meets Akira bikes, or Aeon Flux's car

that thing looks like a cleverly disguised death trap...

Looks sweet. Has to be an incredible feeling to move that fast when you're only inches off the pavement.

cool until you back up into a pole and break your pp off.

Wasn't there some sort of cartoon a long time ago that featured something similar?

 

[Scarlet Fire]

When can I buy it?

 

[Disraeli Gears]

Blah blah deathtrap blah blah, I don't care what you say- there's no way I'd rather die than behind the wheel of that beast.

Ever heard of the basics of energy transfer?

Actually it's 'god from the machine'...

 

[bigbass94]

I feel beer will be the demise of this machine.

 

[Puck]

Coolest. Vehicle. Ever...real or otherwise.

Laws of Thermodynamics:

1 - You can't make a profit
2 - You can't break even
3 - You can't get out of the game

Basically as it worked not all of the energy would go back into being reclaimed, there will always be waste, in fact, a heck of a lot of waste. They could probably put dynamos in the wheels, but the added weight and friction would probably cause more drag then worthwhile.

P.S I'm studying biochemistry, not physics, so this could be all nonsense that's been rattling around in my head.

Labladie, yes I have... but I was just thinkin aloud....I mean we are talking futuristic...hell, run it nuclear for all I care.

Yeah! And lets put the source in the helmet... for the lulz

But that's frickin' awesome. No more basses for me, I'm saving up
