Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM has seemingly made a successful introduction to the four-wheeled world with its X-Bow roadster, and the company has assured us that there is more to come. While we anxiously await production electric and hybrid motorcycles along with small city cars from KTM, we can at least feast our eyes on a few eco-concept vehicles that were designed by industrial design students at FH JOANNEUM University with the assistance of KTM designers.

That is cool looking!  Not sure how you would change direction though.

a good point, as leaning would only make it go sideways i assume. maybe the tail rotor would pivot to give a rear steer setup similar to helicopters
