BAAL & Hyanide
While my heart is firmly planted in the grasps of mountain bikes, I still appreciate their gas guzzling brethren. Take for instance these two little monsters.
Only 12 inch concept models and they are already teeming with innovation, most prominent being pivoting tracks and open ended frames allowing plethora of engine and drive-train configurations.

This won’t me win any bonus points among my motorbike loving friends, but I was just thinking today how annoyingly un-ecological they are. I’m not fond of cars either, but at least they are mainly used for transportation and rarely for joy rides. Tracks make it even worse. Now you could boldly go even to more places where you shouldn’t.
However, I’ll grant you that concept models are interesting and innovative.

un-ecological??!!?? They use less fuel and have a greater range than 70% of gas guzzeling trucks out there. They also leave a smaller print on land we’re put on this earth to explore.

These are just 1/5 scale models. The creators haven’t made any full-sized versions, and there are currently no plans for production.
As for those who said it looks hard to handle, it’s much simpler than it looks. There are foot pedals that, when pressed, cause the bike to “bend” in the middle to handle sharper turns. The pedal design is akin to skis, in that, when you want to turn left, you would raise up your left foot and push down with your right.
