Oh, why not: half bionic stingray, half crazy jetbike

Oh, why not: half bionic stingray, half crazy jetbike

Riding a stingray would normally be crazy enough, but not for designer Nils Poschwatta. His stingray is instead a cybernetic mishmash and rides like a jetbike.

The project, called "Creature Guard," is something Poschwatta whipped up in his spare time. The ray-bike itself is one of the vehicles for the Creature Guard, which is described as "an institution to protect endangered animals and any kind of organism that needs help." So, Power Rangers for critters. The images you see are actually not a render, but instead a 1/4 scale model made mostly out of clay.

Check out more of the Creature Guard's bionic ray jetbike down below.
