Yamaha’s 2 Wheel Drive Bike

by Guy Brighton

Deinonychus1The Deinonychus is a prototype that Yamaha will be displaying at the ‘The Art of Engineering’ at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show later this month. It leverages in-wheel motors and offers a completely new type
of two-wheel-drive Electric Vehicle. The bike includes ‘Stretch &
Shrink’ functions in the vertical and horizontal directions allowing the rider to adjust the riding position
and also the silhouette of the chassis to fit the rider’s body size,
riding environment, road surface conditions and personal preference.
