Concept bike - Aprilia Easyrider Motorbike 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!

6. Cool Superbike: Bullet Superbike by Phil Pauley

Bikes are out kicking people and making hearts skip several beats with their beasty avatar. The assets, they come loaded with, are worth flaunting. Phil Pauley is out with a superbike named the Bullet, which is bound to give you goosebumps. The brawny bike has been crafted in a way that lends it all the mean features. Combining these looks with sumptuousness makes it all the more killing. Once seated on the Bullet it will feel as if you have grown wings. The speed it touches will make you talk with wind and give you an adrenaline rush. The superbike comes fixed with four wings and a tail fin at the rear. The back has also been wedged with a jet engine, which makes it snarl like a monster. Extended wings give it necessary thrust and literally lift the bike up in the air.

Easy maneuverability, even at high acceleration, will make speed lovers go crazy. The Bullet can cross a mark of 300 mph in terms of speediness. Wow! This sounds a bit dizzy. The façade looks like a mini silver-colored airplane ready to take the roads with surprise. If you want to look cool and make people burn with jealousy, then kick start the curvy Bullet and zoom with the rider in you. The motorbike is ready to thunder with all its worth and leave an everlasting impression.

1. This Batmobile Limousine

Well, Bruce Wayne is a billionaire. Why should he drive himself around? This Batmobile was spotted in New York City and was probably based on a Corvette.

The limo is inspired from the Batmobile that was featured in the 1989 and 1992 Batman films directed by Tim Burton. You can see more pictures of the Bat Mobile Limo as well as a video that we discovered on Youtube after the jump.

Aston Martin E-teuer Concept designed by Jack Allenet

Aston Martin E-teuer Concept designed by Jack Allenet

What to expect in the future from an eminent brand that James Bond drives? The answer is ‘pretty’ much present in the above image. Exquisitely conceptualized by Jack Allenet, this is the Aston Martin E-teuer. Adroitly futuristic in its demeanor, gracefully curvaceous in its ‘racing’ body and arduously elegant in its overall form; this electric car certainly has it all. Supposedly inspired by the British automaker’s achievements at the renowned Le Mans track; the designer wanted to infuse that sublime essence of speed and style, albeit with dollops of sustainability.

The striking visual element aside, the conception has also been envisaged to exhibit an exhilarating level of performance. Zealously propelled by a power output of 400kW and a convincing torque of 750nm, the vehicle can romp up to a blistering top speed of 300 km/hr. Moreover, being ‘fueled’ by the efficient and green KERS, the car could accelerate from 0-60 (0-100 km) in just under 3 seconds.

Coming to the lissome body, the energetic styling is influenced from a plethora of fascinating sports cars such as the Aston Martin DB9 and Vantage, and even racing conceptions like the Le Mans LMP1. The overall weight is just limited to 500kg, while the performance capability is boosted by E-tuer’s intrinsic aerodynamic form and efficacious suspension. The car also incorporates the notorious F-duct system, which helps in reducing aerodynamic drag with enhancement of substantial speed.

Finally coming to the innovative design feature, the maneuvering mechanism (in relation to the EV drive train) can be adjusted to cope up with different roads (and even climatic conditions). This inherent flexibility of the drive allows optimum user convenience regarding acceleration, top speed, traction control, active braking, and even engine mapping. So, all in all, the conception certainly manages to successfully fuse the progressive attributes of design, performance and style along with elements of low emission technology.

BMW i1 Concept electric car by Amadou Ba Ndiaye

Want to feel the thrill of a motorbike ride but with the safety of a car, then you have ample reasons to feel happy as designers have been regularly creating concept trikes such as the BMW i1 – an all-electric three-wheeled vehicle designed for German automobile giant BMW. Conceptualized by Amadou Ba Ndiaye, the BMW i1 promises energy-efficient commutes on three wheels. BMW i1 is a single seater, electric-powered vehicle with three motors giving power to wheels. Each wheel has an independent motor.

As the BMW i1 sports three wheels, so the issue of wheel tilt is important to be sorted out in order to maintain the safety of the passengers. The wheel tilt in this concept car is controlled by computer calibrated hydraulic system. The chassis of the stylish and sleek BMW i1 is made up of carbon fiber. It remains to be seen that when the car will hit the market but one thing is certain that whenever it will go on sale, it will find many takers among the car enthusiasts across the world. Who will not want to feel the joy of riding a car and the adventure of a motorbike in one vehicle?

Electric Vehicles: BMW i Series Concept Cars

Electric Vehicles: BMW i Series Concept Cars: BMW just raised the stakes for electric vehicles by unveiling its new i Series concept cars. The runabout all-electric i3 is to debut in 2013, followed by the sporty i8 hybrid in 2014. Both 4-seaters push the boundaries of design and technology with advanced drivetrains and breakthrough carbon fiber bodies that shave weight to improve performance and mileage. Marking a milestone in the company’s vaunted lineup, the new cars will be exceptionally miserly on energy, but maintain a high performance credo. The more conventional i8 will have a 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine with a parallel electric motor to provide 349 horsepower. Using lightweight carbon fiber, the reduced weight allows the car to reach 60mph in a numbing 4.6 second. The technology however still allows for a frugal 78 mpg – assuming you’re not a lead foot. The car can also go 22 miles running just on its electric motor, much like the Chevy Volt.

The i3 is even more unique. Built on an all-electric powertrain for an urban environment, the car can go 98 miles with full batteries, and can charge up 80% in an hour. The curb weight comes in at 600 pounds less than the Nissan Leaf, given its carbon fiber body, and a full 2 feet shorter to help navigate the urban maze. The i3 is the first production car in the world to use carbon fiber technology at this level. Powered by a 125kW electric motor the car can do 0-60mph in a respectable 7.9 seconds. Carbon fiber components combined with advanced drivetrains were first proposed in the early 1990s by the Rocky Mountain Institute as the “Supercar”, and was essentially ignored by the industry due to low gasoline prices.

Ferrari Modulo Revival | Car Design

Many would simply fling their eyebrows high when told that the original Ferrari 512 S Module by Pinninfarina was actually unveiled at the 1970 Geneva Auto Show. And now after 40 years, the modernistic version of this already futuristic car is back to tickle our sci-fi senses albeit in a more sustainable manner. Though strictly at a conceptual stage, this remarkably avant-garde conception was contrived by a design team of Emmanuel Laffon de Mazieres and Bastien Petelot.

Infused with a sleek demeanor, classy bearing and a fervently innovative technology, the Ferrari Modulo of the 21st Century will certainly be a supercar to behold. The inconspicuous wheels will be ’sunk in’ within the body frame like the original design; supposedly, for enhancement of rolling efficiency and airflow. On the other hand, the improved (if we daresay that) styling is quite evident from the roof of this version, which completely incorporates a swanky glass facade (in comparison to the original 70’s model). The linearity of the astute form along the measured edges have been specifically dealt with to accentuate upon the aerodynamic quality of the car.

According to the designer:

“Everything on this car is designed around aerodynamism and reduced rolling resistance. The extremely low profile, the controlled airflow, the sharp back-end edge help reduce drag and improve performance.”

Now coming to the part that interests us Ecofriend folks, the fascinating supercar will actually flaunt an all-electric engine that alludes to the very low emission side of affairs. So, if we ever get a chance to roll around the city blocks in this ultra-futuristic green monster, we would gleefully accept it with our bowing heads.
