interesting to see the Yamaha logo.
This was a feature in the latest Popular Science mag and the machine was designed by a college student for transportation design contest.
In no part of the article was Yamaha mentioned.
Despite the very real looking artwork the vehicle exists only as a rendering, no prototype has been built.

I want one!

Not for me. I know when I have to glide the flats when skiing that I slow down when I stand up and I maintain speed or go faster when I tuck. I don't need no stinkin contraption that is gonna slow me down, or cut my gas mileage either for that matter.

Oh, come on Slyter, you know that thing folds down and gets all aggressive.  It's futuristic, how could it not?

That's just the parking position...

My arms are almost as long as it is.  I could just hold on to some wheels, and blammo!  I've saved all sorts of cash.

All it needs is a Desmo!

Ahhh, so it is like a BatMobile thing, like when he goes into attack mode for shooting missiles. Does this thing have missiles? I could get into that.

Actually, as you accelerate, it goes flat (ie your are laying down about a foot or two off the ground). So the rush and speed (not sure how fast) would be cool!! I just could not find a photo of how it looks when it is up to speed. So as you speed up, you get flatter, and you are not standing, but "Gliding" along the ground!!

[Smitch]

See, I totally knew that just by looking at it.  Man I'm good!

Also, missles would be good, just so long as we have them and nobody else.

Wow, hey Smitch. On an off topic note, my little girl almost reported you to the mods by accident.

Kids always know whether an adult is a good or bad person.  Unless candy is being offered, because that throws off their ability to judge character.
