Default What in the f@@k?

suppose it goes without saying, but the design team at Non-Object took all of the things we have learned about making motorcycles and threw them in the trash, pooped in the trash, then lit the can on fire when they came up with the "nUCLEUS"concept bike. But then again, they never intended for the design to be taken seriously. Rather, it is meant to push the boundaries of design beyond the norm.
Outside of the obvious design features, this "square against air" electric motorcycle includes a hydraulic system that lowers the body to the ground when idle and then raises it up when in motion. Again, this bike is only a concept, so don't expect to see it on the street anytime soon

Thankfully we'll never have to deal with seeing this thing actually on the road

I guess the inventors were never on a motorcycle. They must not realize how a motorcycle turns, or have never inched along in traffic idling and moving with the clutch held in.
