The Electrobite Vehicle is what happens when you have a metal sculptor and a sound effects creator for Hollywood as friends.
As a creative collaboration, Jon Sarriugate, the sculptor, and Krysten Mate, the effects worker, built the Electrobite vehicle using parts of an old motorized wheel chair and some scrap metal. Designed to look like a Trilobite, this insect mobile actually drives (at a pretty good pace too) and is controlled by a head mounted joystick. It also comes tricked out with neon blue lights under the chassis.
I’m not sure if the Electrobite vehicle would be effective at picking up beach babes but who cares, its a giant motorized bug!
