Kawasaki filed a patent that caused a stir. Technology promises to be able to steer through inclination alone. This sounds crazy enough to imagine. What do you think

Tilt technology instead of handlebars
Kawasaki motorcycle manufacturer has obtained a technical patent designed to move motorcycles without traditional handles in a tilted position and around bends.
If it comes to the ingenuity of Kawasaki engineers, scooters can be at some point on the future road, which they share little in the current bikes. It looks like the electric bike will come clear. In the latest patent for the vegetable so the driver is on the strike list.
Weight transfer as a guiding motivation
The patent shows a two-wheeled vehicle that the driver takes from the sport seating position. Both wheels are directed on a large rock. By mono-shock absorbed with deflection, these are based on the main frame. However, there is not much in common between a conventional motorcycle, because it now comes at the top of the patent: both wings are equipped with a joint that allows them to alternate in the longitudinal axis by an integrated electric motor. The front wheel shift around the steering axis is not provided. When the driver wants to drive by changing his weight. The sensors detect them and tilt the front and rear wheels accordingly. Because the front wheel tends more in an inclined position, such as the rear wheel during the start of turns. The driver itself only works in the U holder, which integrates the traditional throttle grip and conventional brake arms.
Is this a leadership? Kawasaki relies on electric wheel hub motors on both wheels - so it is a four-wheel drive. The battery is likely to sit somewhere else where the internal combustion engine replaces it. Does everything look so futuristic? it is. But the patent illustrates the trends that motorcycle revolutions can go through.
