A designer named Pierre Yohanes Lubis recently entered the BMW Motorrad Innovation Contest 2009 with this prototype BMW which unlike other motorcycles is propelled by the front wheel and driven by electricity. It can best be described as the world's fastest and deadliest Segway.
The BMW Halbo is powered by an electric motor which drives the front wheel alone. The vehicle uses its spherical rear wheel for balancing chores alone. The ball joint affixed to the rear helps the bike make turns with ease where leaning does not become a risk.
Lubis and BMW claim that the vehicle is designed specifically for "vibrant young people in highly populated cities. It will complement the greener modes of mass transportation by making sure that even the individual commuters maintain an ecological balance.
