Not my cup of tea, but the mechanics involved with building a long term, reliable, vehicle like that seems a little far fetched - there are too many moving parts that (IMO) would make it unfeasible to build. I like the idea though - talk about revolutionizing the driving experience! Cool cockpit! That wins my vote for cool design!


....all that being said, I'm still hoping that someone somewhere builds a real life light cycle.



I'd take one of them!

Those light cycles turn on a time. 

It's all frame geometry and tire profile though.

Cool! I don't know if it will pan out, but it at least shows the Nissan engineers are thinking outside of the box.  waytogo
