Have you all seen this crazy machine; I bet this thing is a blast to ride. It’s called a Hyanide and it was made by Oliver Keller and Tillman Schlootz for the 2006 Michelin Challenge Design according to CNN.com. There is a good article about it, but it doesn’t tell the most important thing… How can I get one of these?!?

Sorry to burst you bubble but there is no way you could get one. They don't exist. Everything up unto this point has been 3d renderings for a design contest.

Edit: I was partially mistaken, they built a 1/5th scale model

cool.

Quote from "Hyanide" article:

"To turn left, for example, you'd push the right side of the handlebar forward, to point the front of the tread left -- it's the same motion as on a motorcycle."... At the same time, however, you'd also push back on the right pedal, angling the rear of the tread into the turn. This action would twist the tread into a crescent shape and whip the Hyanide around a turn.


Hmm...really? What kind of motorcycles have 'they' been riding?

The one they highsided probably
