The snowmobike?

[posol]

This conceptual design easily falls into the category of coolest damn thing of the year. This motorcycle is equipped with tank-esque treads to turn it into an all-terrain mobile. This design was created by Germans, Oliver Keller and Tillamn Schlootz, for the 2006 Michelin Challenge Design.

^^yea.. i bet that thing fucks it up..

The Hyanide is also capable of making sharp and fast turns with a advanced turning system that bends the entire frame of the bike to properly make turns. For the guts, the Hyanide is powered by a 60hp 500cc liquid-cooled single cylinder engine that could product a top speed upwards of 85 mph. It currently only exists as a one-fifth scale, non-functional, model. Surely there is a company out there willing to tackle this revolutionary idea. Honda, anyone? – Travis Hudson

Weaksauce.

Looks cool as hell, but can it really out-perform the snowmobile?? Is there a need for that thing?

 

[Airjockie]

is there a need for braile drive thru ATM's.!?!?!?

60HP, 85 top end... Sounds like its as fun as my civic cx.

Not to mention the damn thing doesnt exist yet.

 

[reckedracing]

eh, one thing a snowmobile lacks is the ability to turn on a cleared surface, like a driveway or roadway

this thing looks like it could go just about anywhere too...

would i buy one? no, i have a snowmobile
