Well all of the talk lately when it comes to new motorcycles is all about green. So there are tons of people who are trying to come up with the next big thing in the Electric Motorcycle. Here is one that comes right out of Grand Rapids Michigan.
Joey Ruiter At 33, already a major influence in the global design community, earned best-in-class recognition for his work. He transforms everyday needs in surprising ways — pushing limits to confront normal expectations. The next thing he has on his list is Motorcycles. He did just that, he created what would be considered an invisible motorcycle. The name that he has given his creation is Moto Undone by stripping away historical attributes that make them so great. It’s hard to image a motorcycle without fancy paint, overpowered motors, exposed mechanical genius, and sweet exhaust tones.
Moto undone is pure generic transportation and by motorbike category definition it isn’t very cool.
There motorbike references are small and when someone is riding they are all you see. The bike almost disappears. The rider just floats along the streets silently.
Powered by a 1000w 48v electric hub motor, moto undone has a range of 90 miles or about 3 hours. All gauges and riding information, like speed and gps, is displayed through smart phones by downloadable apps.
But hey if you like chrome!
There has been no talk that it is going to be for sale but who knows…..
