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.
It has already happened countless times that in the worst heat, motorists look with envy towards the cabins of cars in which the air conditioner does its job and provides passengers with a cooler and more comfortable environment.

Motorcycles have always been a symbol of unrestrainedness and freedom. The many films in which they appeared also added to their cult status.

Jyo John Mullor, a designer from Dubai, has designed a series of helmets that look like they leave our head completely exposed. The helmets give a horrifyingly realistic look to the shaved heads of various people.
It is not the first time that we report to you about various computer graphics that represent the bright thoughts of young design talents. The computer-generated sketches of the Honda Café Racer concept are so accurate they could easily be mistaken for photographs.
With the new Gold Wing, Honda aims to capture some of the magic that made this motorcycle so special in the past. With the new, now sixth generation Gold Wing, Honda wants to once again land at the very top of touring motorcycles.
Husqvarna, an icon of Swedish engineering excellence, has added a new jewel to its crown with the Svartpilen 801 model. This model is not just a motorcycle; is the epitome of Scandinavian design and performance.
Husqvarna is otherwise known for making excellent saws and other tools. But in recent years, it has also been making great strides in the two-wheeler division. This time they presented the concept of an urban electric scooter, which we hope will come true.
