magley64 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 nope, it DOES extend out to more of a horizontal (riding) position http://gizmodo.com/392816/yamaha-branded-deus-ex-machina-motorcycle-exoskeleton-a-segway-on-steroidslook at the center pic at the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Damn, thats really aggressive! Kinda scary. Looks like your limbs would be ripped off your body if you wrecked, depending how tight you were strapped in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 i can see a bad day at the office and someone hanging themself from it when its upright..... but thats just me........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 does it stay in the upright position like that? or does it stretch/flex out to more of a "laying" position when moving?Same thing I was wonderin'. Hope it doesn't have too much torque, or it'd be awful easy to loop it, upright like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
