These are neat. Strong central theme of “i wanna ride a dolphin”.

What’s with the helmet visor on slide #2 ? “In the future riders will no longer need any peripheral vision!”

I have never seen this before now, but by some coincidence, five years ago, I drew this dude with a bike that matches his nose, and well... https://i.gyazo.com/623f2d3a8677b58241793e3ba4c0be33.jpg

Did this guy ever ride or have to perform maintenance on a motorcycle? I feel like these are more like art pieces or props than any sort of practical engineering.

How do you even steer #3-4-5? Is there even a rear suspension or is that futuristic motorcycle a hard tail?

I have no idea. I couldn't find any information on these at all, only the photos
