In a world rapidly embracing the fusion of sustainability and cutting-edge robotics, Kawasaki has introduced a marvel that redefines personal mobility: Corleo — a hydrogen-powered, four-legged robotic ride inspired by the elegance of horseback travel and the resilience of nature’s finest climbers.

Unveiled at Expo 2025 Osaka, Corleo isn’t just a flashy concept; it’s a bold statement about what lies ahead in eco-conscious, all-terrain transportation. Combining Kawasaki’s deep roots in motorcycle engineering with advanced robotics and artificial intelligence, Corleo is unlike anything we’ve seen before.
At the heart of Corleo is a 150cc hydrogen-fueled engine — not just for show, but to generate electricity that powers its leg-mounted drive systems. Hydrogen, as a clean energy source, means the only byproduct from this mechanical beast is water.
Its four mechanical limbs end in split rubber hooves, modeled after the adaptive feet of mountain goats. These hooves flex and grip across a range of terrains — from grassy fields to loose rocks — providing stability and shock absorption that makes traditional off-road rides look primitive.

What truly sets Corleo apart is the intuitive control system. Riders don’t press buttons or steer with joysticks. Instead, they shift their weight — much like riding a horse. Sensors embedded in the saddle, stirrups, and handlebars translate body motion into directional commands, offering a ride that feels instinctive and fluid.
A motorcycle-style display panel keeps the rider informed of real-time stats like hydrogen levels, terrain feedback, and balance distribution. And when night falls, Corleo projects light markers onto the ground, enhancing visibility while maintaining an ambient, futuristic aesthetic.
Corleo isn’t just about muscle — it’s smart. AI-powered coordination allows it to analyze terrain, adjust gait, and maintain balance even under changing conditions. It adapts to both the environment and the rider’s behavior, learning and evolving with every journey.
As of now, Corleo remains a concept vehicle, a stunning preview of where Kawasaki sees the future of mobility heading. While commercial release may still be decades away, potentially by 2050, Corleo represents a major leap — not just for Kawasaki, but for an entire industry looking to rethink how humans move through the world.
