TODAYonline: “Japan’s Yamaha Motor, racking up record profits, has wheeled out its motorcycles of the future ranging from a hybrid scooter to an electric bike with in-wheel motors and adjustable body.

The Deinonychus two-wheel drive electric vehicle is equipped with motors built into the wheels and has ”stretch’ functions in the vertical and horizontal directions for the aluminum frame body,’ Yamaha said in a statement.

‘It is possible to adjust not only the riding position but also the silhouette of the chassis to fit the rider’s body size, riding environment, road surface conditions and personal preferences,’ it said.”
