I've seen renderings of that thing...but never an action type video...I guess I just didn't realize you could lean it forward like that....it's totally sweet.

[NAKID]

Never seen the video either. That thing looks BADASS! Especially in the agressive leaned forward position...

[Slide Panda]

I'm giddy... transformers are coming to life. 

I wondered if it'd have variable geometry when I saw the renderings... cool stuff.

On a vaguely related note, BMWs 'Gina' appeared on Discovery Channels NextWorld - Future Intelligence episode.  Don't know if it was just someone in the wings with R/C making the changes - but they made it appear that Gina had voice recognition and just asked it to do things rather conversationally, like "Gina, how about some headlights?"

Does it come in red???

[lucazuma]

...well, a head on collision with this thing IS head on

[red baron]

+1 BADASS

[That Nice Guy Beck!]

OMG the lean attack position is SICCCCCCCCCK 
I'd def buy that wow, imagine the feeling? sort of like you are flying.

[vampireduc]

so that will so in Duc's line in what 2099?

I'd like to see a working model, but the concept is sweet

The same thing that would happen if you smacked a normal bike into a wall...........

That's what i was saying... that it's no more "head on" on this thing as your bike.

[MendoDave]

It's cool but it lacks the vroom vroom apeal of the Monster.

Firstly, I'd just like to say, Tron sucks.

On to the topic at hand...

It looks REALLY REALLY uncomfortable except for when it's fully forward.  At speed, while leaning forward, the two front wheels should somehow move together and become one, so you can use it more like a bike.

Overall, it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

The way i imagine it would be that the arms tilt, and articulate to facilitate lean.
