Surfing the net while riding in Yamaha Bobby bike


Who would've thought the day would come where an electric commuter vehicle would feature Internet connectivity?


So, you are an internet addict and want to stay connected all the time but, you miss that connection badly when you are on your bike for a joy ride. The Bobby prototype from Yamaha Motor is an electric commuter vehicle that won’t let you loose even a single moment.


The Yamaha Bobby bike is equipped with a variety of Internet services that make sure you are always connected, even when riding the bike. You can turn it on or off simply by holding up your FeliCa-enabled cellphone to the switch. Other interesting features include a collapsible seat, a fold-in rear wheel, handlebars and footrests for easy and expedient storage. Parking won’t be an issue for Bobby bike.


Well, I am impressed that the bike hooks us up to the web but, would I be able to make use of this on-the-ride connectivity to have some chatting sessions? It’s just a concept at the moment but, I would definitely love to see it going into production.
