Today’s motorcycle designers are often able to use various magical technological means to design strange models like science fiction, and you can often see some eye-catching concepts at many famous auto shows. Motorcycles, but unfortunately, many concept cars only stay in the concept stage in the end, and disappear without a trace after a short period of excitement. Regardless of whether these cars will be mass-produced in the future, we might as well take a look at those amazing creative designs.
1. Yamaha Motoroid concept car
The so-called Motoroid is a compound word of motorcycle and robot. This is a vehicle that can drive itself, maintain balance, and has artificial intelligence. The smart electric motorcycle was hailed by many as the "motorcycle of the future" at the time. First unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, it uses Yamaha's most advanced technologies, some of which were developed long before the model was designed.
For example, this model has an artificial intelligence system capable of image recognition, which can recognize the driver's face and posture. Yamaha's AMCES center of gravity control system ensures that the vehicle remains upright and balanced at all times. The car is also equipped with a tactile human-machine interface that allows non-verbal communication between people and the car.
2. Honda? V4? Concept Car
Honda has always been characterized by constantly pushing the boundaries of motorcycle design, challenging design traditions, and bringing bold design and technology to let Consumers are delighted. The V4 concept motorcycle is one example.
This model was launched by Honda at the International Motorcycle and Two-Wheeler Exhibition in Cologne. This is a futuristic sports motorcycle that is said to represent a "new starting point for Honda motorcycle production." ". This car is equipped with Honda's iconic V4 engine, which uses oval pistons to provide more power. After the release of the V4 concept car, Honda quickly registered a patent for the car's design, which means it may soon be mass-produced.
3. Bandit9 Odyssey
For many years, Bandit9 has been committed to creating customized motorcycles like works of art, including successful cases such as the aircraft-inspired Dark Side motorcycle. . After that, they brought the famous concept car Odyssey. The car is powered by a 1,400cc engine or V-Twin electric engine, and the engine is wrapped in a seamless steel casing.
Its seat cushion is made of high-density memory foam, which is more conducive to weight distribution and can provide maximum comfort according to the driver's body shape. Rumor has it that only 9 units of this model will be produced.
4. BMW Vision Next 100
The BMW Vision Next 100 is said to represent what motorcycles may look like in the future. The car uses a black triangular carbon fiber "movable frame" that collects all the components and can adjust and move itself when turning.
The car is powered by zero-emission power and has a polished aluminum hood that protrudes outwards as it drives. One of the most amazing features is that the car balances itself, even after the driver gets out of the car, and it stays there.
5. Kawasaki J Concept Car
The Kawasaki J Concept Car was first unveiled at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. It is a three-wheeled motorcycle powered by batteries. Able to "deform" during driving. This means that the driver can switch from a sports car sitting position to a leisurely cruising position while driving, and all that is required is to press a button or issue a voice command.
The excellent shock absorption design also allows this car to change the distance between the two front wheels, narrowing in sports mode and widening in cruise mode, which not only improves the comfort of the driver's sitting posture, but also It also improves safety by minimizing loss of steering control when cornering.
6. Hero Ion Concept Car
Although Hero Motorcycle Company is not as famous as BMW or Kawasaki, this motorcycle manufacturer from India is in the field of alternative fuel technology. It can also be regarded as a pioneering enterprise, and this Ion? concept car is a good example. The vehicle uses a hydrogen fuel cell and a lithium-air battery to produce what is believed to be the same amount of energy as gasoline.
This car uses the zero-friction magnetic levitation principle for driving and braking, and also uses revolutionary M-link shock absorption, which uses magnetorheological shock absorption to adapt to various driving conditions. . It is also equipped with accelerometers and gyroscopes to maintain balance and steer the vehicle.
7. BMW Titan concept car
This BMW Titan is the kind of car that can bring a high rate of return. It is designed by the well-known designer Turkish Mehmet Doruk Erdem. The knife design is said to be inspired by the body of a shark and hopes to break the 605 km/h land speed record held by Ack? Attack.
The front end of the BMW Titan is completely sealed, which reduces drag during acceleration and allows air to be guided away through the "gills". The car is equipped with a customized dashboard that displays very professional data, such as the temperature of specific areas, the operation of the cooling system, and the status of shock absorption.
8. ? Aprilia ? Pushed to a new level. Designed by Marco Lambri, the bike is said to pay homage to Aprilia’s acclaimed V4 engine, a technological achievement that helped the brand win seven World Superbike Championships.
At its core, it is a 65-degree 4-cylinder engine capable of outputting 201 horsepower and 85 pound-feet of torque. The most noteworthy feature of this XSV4 is that there is a crescent-shaped thing placed where the wheels should have been.
9.?Curtis?Zeus
The Zeus brought by Curtis can be said to represent the company’s vision for future pure electric motorcycles. It has sculpted shapes, a contoured frame, and an all-electric powertrain modeled after the iconic 1907 Glenn Curtiss V8 motorcycle.
In order to obtain the V shape, Curtis designers created a design in which eight battery packs are fixed by a central terminal and exposed. Curtiss says the vehicle's powertrain is capable of producing approximately 217 horsepower and 147 pound-feet of torque, making it one of the most powerful motorcycles in the world.
