The Shredder is a new military vehicle by a start-up company called DTV. It’s an individual transportation device that can go up to 30 MPH and haul 1,200 lbs. The machine is powered by a 200cc four-stroke engine and can tackle slopes up to 40 degrees.

Seems pretty slow and complex when compared with, say, a 200cc motorcycle. Will that do anything as well a 200cc motorcycle? And how much does it cost? Looks like it’s made of fail to me.

It’s smaller and lighter than a motorbike and I don’t remember ever seeing a motorbike with a trailer? Also, when was the last remote control motorbike you ever saw. This thing has got plenty of military I’m sure.
But forget all that, I would love to zip around London on one of these, dodging all the commuter traffic would be awesome…..I really want one of these. I hope they make road legal versions too. I wonder if the could get a tax disc?

@poopajay
What military uses would that be :/
I can’t think of any since it looks like it would be used for transportation but there is already so many better things out there.

Didn’t watch the whole video until now. Didn’t know it had that trailer until someone mentioned it above.
I guess that might be handy and probably the only thing I would consider it good for.

who cares what it is used for. It is bad ass! If they sold that to the public, they would be billionaires.

It’d be great for deer hunting in the backwoods. Do you know how hard it is to get a dead deer out of the woods?
But I’d just use it for fun an hooliganism.

The video just shows it going over pretty smooth ground. I doubt battlefields are that well prepared.

How does perform on rain/mud/shallow water? Or only for dry weather combat???

Awesome, now the Taliban don’t need to save for a new IED, they can just place a really gnarly berm, wicked jump or sick rail in the path of the US forces.
