As gas digits become smaller, apparently so too do the size of the vehicles. The Halbo motorcycle concept designed by Pierre Yohanes Lubis for BMW is actually the size of half of a real motorcycle.
The 2-wheeled tinker toy has a stationary front wheel and a left-to-right swiveling back wheel. The target audience for the vehicle is supposed to be “vibrant eco-minded young individuals.”
It looks awesome but also very dangerous. I don’t know if it makes you look like more of a man or more of a wuss. It still manages to move pretty well for what it is.
