Concept bike - Aprilia Easyrider Motorbike by Roberto Vernile

Concept bike: Aprilia Easyrider Motorbike concept by Roberto Vernile
Looks like a dream bike to you? Well, probably the possession of such a bike is a dream for many bike lovers across the world. But that was a thing of past. Now you can own this beauty in reality. Here is a bike based on the Easy rider Concept which has been designed by Roberto Vernile in collaboration with Aprilia.

This bike has everything you always desired to have in your bike and the most unique feature it provides you with is the concept of total personalization. This concept allows you to move the seat, handlebars and the foot pegs, as the chassis is adjustable according to your specific requirements. The frame of this bike is made of Trellis (a lattice of light wooden or metal parts)and the various parts are linked to each other by modular connections.

The rider has also an option of choosing his posture while driving. He can either choose a posture as that of a racer (that is a position in which the rider bends down) or may choose to drive with an upright posture as seen in bikes usually. This convenience in making choices is greatly featured by the special seat which is made of Technogel. A major problem with today’s bikes is the storage space associated with them. A bike lover may have to compromise with the look of the bike in order to have adequate storage space.

But this issue is dealt with effectively and efficiently in this Easyrider concept by providing you enough space for helmet, navigation system or airbox. For sports riding, you have the option of replacing the front (made of perspex) with a smaller windshield. There are three brake pads available for usage without any difficulty of replacement by any tools. This wonderful project is believed to have a powerful 1200cc twin engine so that you can zoom around on the roads for longer distances at thrilling speeds.

This bike is meant for those people who are in need for a perfect combination of power, speed, durability and convenience in riding in addition to stunning looks and design. The customization of the bike is the most important feature that will attract many bike lovers because they will have options to choose from, based on their requirements. Ride hard, but safe!
Aprilia Easyrider Bike, Roberto Vernile

11. Honda Chopper Concept futuristic motorcycle designed by Peter Norris

Honda Chopper Concept futuristic motorcycle designed by Peter Norris
Check Out This Honda Chopper Concept futuristic motorcycle designed by Peter Norris. The ardently imposing yet sumptuously refined electric chopper concept did seriously bamboozle our senses. Seeming like a glorious Batpod-esque offspring of Star Wars speeder bike and the Tron lightcycle, this in actuality is yet another wondrous conception from designer Peter Norris.

Dubbed simply the Honda Chopper Concept, the subtly curvaceous demeanor of the chassis defined by an ultra-futuristic linear form, does speak of a myriad of influences starting from sci-fi literature of the 80’s to modern day bio-punk renditions seen in the Manga. The streamlined, expansive form of the chopper exhibits a long front suspension with a feet forward pedal and seating position. But what really did tickle our green senses was the low emission side to this modernistic system.

The motorcycle will be endowed with two sturdy yet small electric hub motors that accentuate the lowering of the center of gravity. This will in turn facilitate better control; of course along with improved efficiency. So at the end of the day, if we were given a option for a stylishly ’sustainable’ romp around the city in this fantastically fabulous bike, there is every chance that we would gleefully accept it (with our bowing heads).

Future motorcycle design by Alex Kish

Future motorcycle design by Alex Kish
 Check out this Future motorcycle: 'A motorcycle with a 'green' electric drive and an iconic V-twin comportment. The aim and the inspiration has been made very clear from the start by the designer; influenced by the sturdy V-twin demeanor, he wanted to showcase a functional, zero emission electric side to it, to the much younger and eco conscious generation. And boy, has he been successful, as the lightweight 430 lbs drivetrain will be powered by a 12 KW DC motor, while the highly durable Li-ion battery pack will feature a stable composition of Lithium iron phosphate.

Coming to the other design attributes, the bike will feature airless tires with the advantages of being puncture-proof and offering of better controls. The front wheel shock absorber will be conspicuously placed along the conventional fuel tank area, for efficient space management within the mechanism, while the front suspension will utilize a Telelever fork for enhanced stiffness to the bike head part. This in effect will make the ride easier and most importantly safer to steer.

The charging plug connection mounted on the motor controller side above the battery pack, will adroitly replicate the form of an old fashioned gas cap, just to get the ambiance of the old school. Moreover, an advanced oil cooling mechanism will be incorporated for better motor efficiency.

So finally at the end of the day, only time could say if this fastidiously fascinating conception will make its ‘green’ mark on some future motorcycle enthusiast’s wet dream, but we are surely going to keep our fingers crossed for that to happen.

TriMove - Motorbike Concept by Mohammad Ghezel

TriMove - Motorbike Concept by Mohammad Ghezel
TriMove - Motorbike Concept by Mohammad Ghezel: Here is a design from Mohammad Ghezel that will blow your mind away. Primarily a three hubless wheel concept sets this one visually apart from any other bike on a top notch. When you first see this bike, you will only be wonder struck at the three wheels that it boldly flaunts. Unlike all other big, boring three wheeled bikes the TriMove is designed so sensually that agility and speed is a certainty. Very narrow and the tilting three wheels of TriMove redefines a trike for you.

TriMove - Motorbike Concept by Mohammad Ghezel
Not just with its looks, this bike also charms with its fantastic features. It has a splendid three-disc braking system that needs very less braking space, making it perfectly safe. Also for all you people who are wondering about how this bike will help you balance; it has a triangular footprint, that balances brilliantly even when it is stationary.

TriMove - Motorbike Concept by Mohammad Ghezel
The design, even though criticized for some so-called unergonomic characteristics, it is still avant-garde and highly fancy. There is nothing extrinsic about the bike, but because it is a new concept, its technical potency is not yet explored to the fullest.

Future Motorcycle Design | Factor 4 Motorbike Concept By Henry Wang

Motorcycle Design| Factor 4 Motorbike Concept By Henry Wang
Motorcycle Design| Factor 4 Motorbike Concept By Henry Wang: If you thought super bikes – like the ones shown in the movie TRON – were only possible in sci-fi movies, then you can feast your eyes on this ultra-cool big daddy of all motorbikes you may have seen till date. Conceptualized and designed by Henry Wang, this super bike called Factor 4 has just one aim, and that is to blur any and all kinds of distinctions between sports bikes and dirt bikes.


Motorcycle Design| Factor 4 Motorbike Concept By Henry Wang
To achieve this near impossible task, Wang has provided his bike a triangular frame; also the structural core of his bike. In fact, the strength and aesthetic of this angular form can be seen in all aspects of the bike from its nose to tail, and even in the wheel spokes, rectilinear exhaust and the gauge clusters. Apart from this, Wang has taken special care to enhance the performance, efficiency, safety and adaptivity of the bike. It is the overall enhancement of these vital four vital features of the bike which has lead Wang to name the bike Factor 4.

Motorcycle Design| Factor 4 Motorbike Concept By Henry Wang
In terms of performance, Factor 4’s turbocharger draws the most out of its four stroke, 16-valve inline four, to push all the recorded limits of performance. Due to this triangular form, the bike has useful wing like structure that only aids its superior performance. For example, the back wings of the bike are lit and act as turn signals all the time — even under low natural light to ensure that the rider is fully visible to other vehicles on the road. Further, when the wings close, they ensure that drag is kept absolutely minimal. This allows the sleek, streamlined bike to cut through air and heavy traffic more efficiently. These closed wings also help keep the rider safe, and yet provide able room to navigate this machine.

Motorcycle Design| Factor 4 Motorbike Concept By Henry Wang
These wings enhance efficiency of the bike to the utmost. The moment you take this bike above 80 km/h, it’s intelligent braking system will immediately deploy these wings, which then act as an air brake that gradually and safely slow down the bike. Due to this unique feature, a rider need not sit upright to brake anymore. Also while taking sharp turns at high speeds, the wings again engage automatically to counteract the forward momentum, and hence provide a kind of a gentle pull to swing the bike across hairpin bends.

Motorcycle Design| Factor 4 Motorbike Concept By Henry Wang
As far as adaptivity goes, the bike boasts of a significantly wide wheel base that provides the bike with a lot of grip on both, streets as well as rough terrains. Adaptive suspension is another important feature that allows Factor 4 to ride in any kind of terrain, as the swingarm’s range of motion can handle both the stiffness and softness setups needed to run on any kind of surface.

Motorcycle Design| Factor 4 Motorbike Concept By Henry Wang
Lastly, for rider safety, Wang has ensured that the chain and rear sprocket are completely enclosed in the swingarm. This also prevents bike safety as it does not let any debris damage the drivetrain. Plus, all the moving and mechanical parts of the bike are enclosed in lightweight carbon fiber panels that prevent any damage to them and are consistent with the overall aerodynamic design.

Cool Motorcycle Design | Retro-futuristic, steam-punk style motorcycle by Matthew Law

Cool Motorcycle  Design | Retro-futuristic, steam-punk style motorcycle by Matthew Law
Cool Motorcycle Design | Retro-futuristic, steam-punk style motorcycle by Matthew Law: Personal electric vehicles and motorcycles have always struggled to capture the ordinary masses’ attention as they are in their formative years yet. Many designers have come up with realistic ideas and promises of electric motor performances that are suited for road and race tracks both. Here is a futuristic design by Matthew Law, who does not simply add an electric battery to a conventional exotic sports bike, but instead designs a retro-futuristic, steam-punk style motorbike that uses modern manufacturing technology and looks as the bikes of future – say year 2020.

Cool Motorcycle  Design | Retro-futuristic, steam-punk style motorcycle by Matthew Law
The inspiration for this model comes from various backgrounds. The linear elements are designed after cafe racers and retro motorcycles. The “hunched look” of the bike is inspired from the current street fighters. There is a block on the side of the bike for battery storage. You’ll find a cylinder holder underneath which holds a high power motor. When the motorcycle rides on high speeds, the side ribs light up emitting bright light.

SUB G1 - Awesome three wheled vehicle design by Jay Brett

SUB G1 - Awesome three wheled vehicle design by Jay Brett
Ever wondered what the offspring of a car and a motorcycle would probably look like? Well, this sure seems to be the ideal mix of the two. Designed by Jay Brett, the SUB G1 is a three-wheeled contraption that combines motorcycle and technology with a driving experience.

The vehicle uses two wheels on the front axle while the third wheel keeps the G1’s backside from scraping the ground. The headlights rest in the nose like front of the G1 with the indicators attached near the front wheels. Oh, and this certainly isnt a vehicle you can enjoy a family drive with. It has just one seat.
