BMW fuel cell motorcycle design concept

Most Welcome to one magnificent looking BMW concept bike. It is white, it is blue, it is black, it is beautiful, and it is hydrogen powered. That is for realzies. Executed by several students of the ISD of Valenciennes (France), made lovely by a vision for the ecological future of motorbikes. Technologies abound, the “BMW HP Kunst” employs a cryogenic hydrogen tank, battery Li-Po, electronical brakes and controls, and electromagnetic suspensions.

These lovely designers position this bike in the HP range of BMW Motorrad, combining what they call the “player temperament” of the supermotard and the sportivity of a roadster. Asymmetry, dynamism, and one fantastic overall look. I’d do it.

Technic :

- Aluminium frame, tubular parts in steel and carbon parts
- Brushless engine 100kw
- Fuel cell
- Cryogenic hydrogen tank (capacity 20L)
- Battery Li-Po
- Electronical brakes and controls
- Electromagnetic suspensions

Designer: Arik Schwarz, Benoît Czyz, Charles Edouard Berche, and Vincent Montreuil

Pretty Little Battery Bike of Wood

Check the heck out this little bike that runs on batteries. Not only is it aesthetically MORE than pleasing, it is made out of a bunch of wood (and a bit of metal and plastic of course) and runs on tiny batteries you can carry around with you in your pocket…! This is the Biona and it is designed by Jordi Poblet Pedrol, a fellow who wants to replace gasoline entirely in our urban vehicles. This project attempts to give the world a brand latest perception of what an electric motorcycle is.

This design uses traditional yet greener versions of parts used on classic motorcycles, “never forgetting new technologies and new tendencies.” Look like something you’d ride to football practice…? Pedrol leaves us with this thought:

Do we really need those big plastic parts…? Do we really need so much weight…? Do we really need the same design for motorcycles…?
The “biona” project tries to answer these questions, building only another perspective of what a motorbike should look like.

Nude Power Bike in Three Colors

This bike comes in Black, Red, or White, like any good quality motorcycle should. Its description is presented to us as a generally poetic sort of situation, naming “Style & Skills” as a main point, noting soft lines around a technological core, saying that this motorcycle concept, the Ducati Spite, has two souls. One of the souls is extreme simplicity, they say, and the other, a full detailed concept. Like the black and white of the wheels.

There is several ways you can ride the Spite, a couple of them being City and Sport, both of these thanks to its variable suspension. This bike they say shall get both the extremeness of a one-sit bike, and the comfort of a city maxi scooter. Urban and freestyle, extreme every day.
