Of course, it doesn’t fly. But it does everything else on land.
In reply to The Michelin Challenge Design 2006, some guys have come up with 2 really unique bike models worth giving a try.
BAAL & Hyanide by Tilmann Schlootz & Oliver Keller of Germany rock.
To realize the Baal and Hyanide Designs, a completely new vehicle concept had to be developed. It is based on a bendable rubber track that guarantees maximum traction as well as freely changeable directions. To make the handling more comfortable and interesting, the vehicle is steered by hands and feet.
Being intelligent and ground adopting by construction and material, the system does not need complicated sensor systems or adjustable suspensions. Providing much space for a motor, the frame construction allows the use of several engine concepts like conventional fuel systems or fuel cell systems.
The displayed models use 500 ccm ATV Motor which are already mass produced. In general, this engine concept makes many different terms of use possible. In this case, two of them were further developed.
Baal uses the engine concept and its unbeatable off road advantages as a race device. Made for professional riders, it has a very light body and a broad handlebar. This concept could take part in rallies Paris-Dakar or the Baja races.
PopSci calls them Your Very Own Personal Tank; deep mud, sand and snow are no match for this go-anywhere mutated motorbike. They have a special 3D look of the mutation
