Pac-Man on Wheels: Jake Carlini Builds a Wearable DIY Electric Motorcycle Suit - Yanko Design

Inventor and content creator Jake Carlini has turned a damaged electric bike into a wearable motorcycle suit, one that lets him ride while lying nearly flat in a planking position. After his bike was wrecked in a crash, he salvaged key parts, namely the rear-hub motor and battery, and reconceived the system entirely.
