Deus Ex Machina Strap-on Bike Would Eat The Segway for Breakfast
This contraption looks like what would’ve happened should Alien had a cross-over film with Chorlton and the Wheelies (check video below if that doesn’t ring a bell).
The thing you see before you is the work of Art Center College of Design’s Jake Loniak and is kinda like a wearable motorcycle which is dubbed the Deus Ex Machina – or God from the Machine if your Latin is a bit sketchy.
This Segway scarer uses 36 pneumatic muscles and is powered by lithium-ion batteries and ultracapacitors and looks more exciting than the Uno electric sports unicycle.
The Deus Ex Machina will propel the wearer anywhere up to 75 mph.
Although there’s not a working version around as yet Loniak is convinced that it could be turned into a reality.
I’d be more than happy to review it when it’s made 😉
Here’s a vid of the strap on bike:
And here’s Chorlton and the Wheelies 😉
