Introduction: A Glimpse Into Tomorrow’s Mobility
Kawasaki has introduced a bold new concept vehicle: CORLEO, a four-legged, hydrogen-powered robot that you can actually ride. This futuristic creation combines robotic engineering with eco-friendly energy, signaling what might be the future of off-road personal mobility.
Design and Mobility: Inspired by Nature, Built for Adventure
CORLEO walks on four mechanical legs equipped with flexible rubber hooves.
These hooves offer slip resistance and absorb shock from rough terrain.
It’s designed to handle environments like rubble, grasslands, and rocky trails.
Each rear leg operates independently to smooth out motion and improve balance.

Sustainable Power: Hydrogen at the Core
At its heart, CORLEO uses a 150cc hydrogen engine.
This engine powers the electric motors in each leg.
The only byproduct of this system is water—no harmful emissions.
Kawasaki’s move aligns with its long-term commitment to hydrogen energy innovation.

User Experience: Control That Feels Natural
CORLEO is operated using intuitive controls.
Riders shift their weight or use handlebars to steer.
Adjustable stirrups ensure comfort for people of different sizes.
It also features a dashboard that shows key data like balance, speed, and hydrogen levels.
At night, it projects path lights to improve visibility.
