A Transforming Bike
For the last 125 years, motorcycles have been made up of two wheels and a motor and have always been arranged as a wheel, motor and another wheel - in that order. Since the dawn of in-wheel electric motors, designers have more room to make some interesting changes and Yamaha is the first to take a serious look at alternative bike designs that are affordable, eco-friendly, and easily manufactured.
The Deinonychus prototype takes full advantage of the greater chassis design freedom afforded by an in-wheel motor, and offers a completely new type of two-wheel drive electric vehicle with stretch and shrink functions in vertical and horizontal directions. The Deinonychus is extremely lightweight and it's power source can come from a hybrid or fuel cell stack.
