Your next new winter ride!

[dasbulliwagen]

 

Here's hoping that this concept hits the production line one day. It's called the Hyanide, and happens to be a bike, a snowmobile and a 4 X 4 hybrid. The secret behind its unique versatility resides in its revolutionary new tread.

 

The tank-like tread consists of 77 identical segments-each made from hard plastic covered with tire rubber -held together by Kevlar rope. Each segment flexes independently, making the tread significantly more limber than if its components were rigid. Not only does this setup help with traction, but it would allow the tank- cum-motorcycle to corner like no other vehicle.

This theoretical vehicle would have a top speed of 85 mph, and could seat two. It would be powered by a 60hp 500cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine.

 

It only exists as a one-fifth scale model right now, and there are no hard plans to produce it, yet. Seems some automotive industry bigwigs got really turned on by this at the Michelin Challenge Design, so who knows?

No offence, but I'd like to be in a closed cab in the winter. You wouldn't get me on a snow mobile (or that thing) without a Gore-Tex suit.

i would kill myself on that thing but it would be glorious on the way.

My thoughts exactly.

[HOrnbrod]

I can just imagine the vibrations that thing would have at 85MPH with the tread and thumper engine. :roll:

I like how he converted the spare tire carrier to a spare tread carrier. :rotfl2:

[Darren]

I wonder is he is trying to turn those things with the 30/35 combo?

[codybutz]

so does anybody remember the old half-tracks from ww2 ?..... what if you put one of those and an MJ ( rust free, 97+ front end conversion, 4.7 stroker ) in a box and forced them to mate before you let them out again........ :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:
