Virtual Reality Motorcycle May be a Reality Soon
Have you ever experienced any of the following?
- The desire to ride a motorbike, but you are unable to?
- The frustration at not being able to cruise along the streets when it is raining?
- The jealousy of seeing your car driving friends play car racing games on VR, but with no such option for motorists such as yourself?
If your answer to any of these is ‘yes’, you are in for good news! Described as the “first affordable and foldable motorcycle simulator”, Spanish startup LeanGP is trying to bring the motorcycle simulator to life. To the two-wheeler fans, this may just be a dream come true. Designed to be a simple, skeletal motorcycle body, it is said to be compatible with all gaming devices and can be controlled via a tilt system that takes into account the weight of the rider.

Although difficult to emulate real life such as the adrenaline coursing through your body or the feeling of racing against the wind, this simulator is still a creative and needed step in the gaming industry, and we can only hope that LeanGP will eventually succeed in its endeavours.
