In Genesis Climber MOSPEADA, the MOSPEADA is a motorcycle-powered exosuit, which makes it a wearable motorcycle—kinda. I will say it is an impossible tech. But inventor and YouTube personality Jake Carlini has made something along those lines. No, it is not an exosuit. It is, wait for it… an electric motorcycle suit (but it is nothing exo about it, I reiterate).
Don’t let the word “suit” mislead you, though. It is more like he is the frame of the electric bike. After meeting with an “accident” that rendered Jake’s bike useless, he decided to save it from permanent demise by repurposing it into a “suit.” Long story short: the frame was ditched, what was left were the front wheel, the rear wheel with the in-hub motor, the battery, and the controller.
Riding it requires him to lie flat, facing down, and his legs secured to the brackets on the rear wheel (which still has part of the frame). His arms rest on the racing bike handlebars integrated onto a rod that passes through the front wheel’s center hub. The setup kind of reminds me of MOSPEADA.
Anyhoo, it is a super cool concept, but only practical if you have excellent core muscles. I’d imagine the rider will be aching the day after, trying to keep the front and rear together. Keep going to catch the entertaining video of him dramatizing the build.
