Unleashed at Expo 2025 Osaka as part of the Kawasaki Heavy Industries pavilion themed ‘Mobile Instincts,’ CORLEO is a futuristic off-road mobility concept. Combining the energy of motorcycling with advanced robotics and designed to conquer mountains and traverse rugged terrains, the hydrogen-powered machine walks on four robotic legs equipped with adaptive hooves. Echoing Kawasaki’s long-standing ‘Fun to Ride’ philosophy, this concept offers riders a unique outdoor riding experience.

"Kawasaki’s revolutionary off-road personal mobility vehicle offers excellent all-terrain capability, powered by four robotic legs, together with the handling and stability of Kawasaki’s motorcycles. While preserving the joy of riding, the vehicle continually monitors the rider’s movements to achieve a reassuring sense of unity between human and machine. Scale mountains, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy panoramic views. Let CORLEO unleash your “Impulse to Move” in the great outdoors."

CORLEO adapts to uneven ground with its hooves - CORLEO represents the Japanese corporation’s vision of mobility in 2050, where instinct, technology, and the natural environment move in sync. The chassis of the Kawasaki vehicle mimics the responsive feel of a motorcycle, but instead of wheels, it uses independently articulating legs with swing arms that absorb impact and adapt to uneven ground. Each leg ends in a hoof made from slip-resistant rubber, split left-to-right to conform to varied surfaces like grass, gravel, and rock. This legged mobility platform maintains balance and stability while also keeping the rider’s body in a forward-looking posture, even when ascending steep slopes or climbing steps.

Sensors enable the robot to adapt to the rider’s motions - Designed for intuitive control, CORLEO responds to the rider’s weight shifts through sensors embedded in the stirrups and handlebars. The height of the stirrups can also be adjusted to maintain ergonomic posture, enhancing the tight connection between human and machine. This ongoing exchange between the rider and the mobility system, apart from offering control and comfort, also creates a new kind of ride experience that is more instinctive, almost animalistic.

A 150cc hydrogen engine generates electricity to power the leg-mounted drive units, with a rear-mounted hydrogen canister supplying the fuel to ensure low emissions and silent operation. The onboard navigation panel helps guide adventurers by showing the path to the summit, the rider’s center of gravity, and hydrogen levels. For nighttime rides, CORLEO projects illuminated markers onto the terrain ahead.

The rear leg unit can swing up and down independently from the front leg unit, allowing it to absorb shocks during walking and running. Additionally, when climbing steps, the rider can maintain a posture that avoids looking upwards and makes it easier to check the road conditions ahead.

The rider can control the machine through weight shifts detected by steps and handlebars. By changing the length of the stirrup, the rider can maintain an optimal posture.

The four legs are equipped with hooves featuring a left-right divided structure made of rubber, a material that absorbs surface irregularities and is slip-resistant. These hooves can adapt to various terrains, including grasslands, rocky areas, and rubble fields.

Equipped with a 150cc hydrogen engine for power generation. Hydrogen is supplied from a canister mounted at the rear. The generated electricity powers the drive units installed in each of the four legs.

Equipped with an instrument panel that displays hydrogen level, route to the summit, center of gravity position, and other information. At night, it supports optimal riding by projecting markers onto the road surface to indicate the path ahead.
