The forward-looking personal conveyance is a mobile exoskeleton propelled by in-wheel electric motors—or, more succinctly, a trike you can wear. The machine’s motors get their juice from a hybrid power pack of doped Nanophosphate batteries and ultracapacitors. It’s straight from the imagination of Jake Loniak, who foresees acceleration of zero to sixty in three seconds and a top speed of 75 mph. It also has seven artificial vertebrae, 36 pneumatically activated “muscles” and an attached helmet, just the thought of which gives us a phantom neck ache. [via Hell for Leather]
