The Vision Next 100 is the German company’s idea of the future of biking. This electric-powered bike does away with a traditional headstock and forks, instead using a flexible frame. There’s no suspension – the tyres will provide the damping, while adjusting their tread pattern to suit the conditions.
An automatic balancing system will promise perfect stability, while keeping the bike upright even when stopped. Apparently there’s no need for a helmet either (as you’ll never crash), a pair of glasses providing a head-up display controlled by the rider’s eye movements. It’ll even tell you the ideal line to follow into a corner. If the rider doesn’t follow the line the bike suggests, it’ll correct itself.
