DigInfo - (http://movie.diginfo.tv) Related Link: http://www.yamaha-motor.co.jp/global/motorshow2007/booth/ http://www.yamaha-motor.co.jp/global/news/2007/10/05/tms-mc.html 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.
