Yamaha's self-balancing robotic motorcycle MOTOROiD has won a Red Dot design award. It marks Yamaha's sixth win in the Red Dot concept category, with three of those wins coming from the MOTOROiD series.
MOTOROiD, this thing is pure romance! Leaning and balancing itself - as a mechanically-minded person, just imagining how it works is irresistible. It's a different kind of excitement from comparing production-bike specs. I really love that Yamaha keeps steadily refining concepts like this. Feels like catching a glimpse of a future bike.

Yamaha's always loved these wonderfully weird concepts.
If it can stand on its own without falling, that basically eliminates tip-overs — quietly revolutionary.
6th Red Dot Concept win, 3 of them for MOTOROiD — they're really pushing this thing.
Self-balancing on its own is straight-up sci-fi cool. Yamaha's really pulling it off.
It's electric, so I'd love to see more futuristic stuff like this.
I get the design award, but do they actually intend to put the MOTOROiD into production?
Is this an actual bike you can straddle and ride normally?
