Expemotion e-raw: an electric motorcycle that rolled out of a carpenter's shop

The e-raw electric bike with a touch of wood

The electric motor segment is a fertile field for motorcycle designers. Instead of arranging complex internal combustion engines, they are dealing with an extremely simple and compact engine and a flexible battery pack. Plus, no one has really mapped out what an e-bike should look like, so they can experiment with ideas that would never hold water in the octane world. A typical example: the Expemotion e-raw motorcycle with a wooden seat and an iPhone for the dashboard.

E-raw is an electric motorcycle which one would rather say is the work of some carpenter who is a fan of motorcycles than of engineers. Its body is partially finished from shaped wood (we still expect him in the car, but on a motorcycle?). Well, anyway, he drove out of the garage (of the company Expemotion) and not carpentry workshops and represents the harmony of mechanics and electronics, but with its appearance it pushes the boundaries of the traditional. The carpenter is not standing behind him, either designer Martin Hulin. He drew inspiration from classic and café racer motorcycles, and with e-raw he found a common denominator in the language of modern technology and the features of the past.

E-raw is partially manufactured from plywood (80-layer laminate - that's why it's at the same time elastic and rigid) and metals, and the battery is charged using the easy-to-use "Plug and Play" system, or "Plug-and-Play". The motorcycle is not intended for serial production, so we will have to make do with photos and a video. Which is not bad either.
