Pioneering a new type of vehicle, Yamaha has developed their four wheeled Tesseract which turns just like a motorcycle but has a Dual Scythe Suspension for improved safety.
Roughly the equivalent width of a regular motorcycle, the Tesseract is a hybrid vehicle powered by a liquid cooled V-twin 2 cylinder gasoline engine and an electric engine thus reducing emissions and protecting the environment.
With a mantis like appearance, the dual scythe suspension allows stable turning while still allowing for motorcycle like banking. Built into the upper arms of the vehicle is a dual arm lock system which lets the Tesseract stand upright when parked without a kick-stand.
Currently only a concept model, Yamaha plans to continue researching this design in the future.

this kind of bike looks like plans got switched half way though with plans from a quad. i’m glad they built it, its from these things that production bikes get pushed to be better built. it does look a lot like dodges v10 tomahawk motorcycle doesn’t .
