The Lotus C-01 engine is not the brainchild of Lotus, it is just the first super sports engine to bear their licensed name. It was designed by the company Kodewa under the leadership of dr. Colin Kolles and in collaboration with design guru Daniel Simon.

The Czechs got away! The Czech brand FGR has produced the Midalu motorcycle after ten years of development. The relatively unknown brand is familiar to motorcycle racing fans, as FGR showed off its muscles in Moto3 (125cc) class motorcycle racing in 2012. The 2,442cc six-cylinder Midalu sports bike is a significant leap in power.
The Italian start-up is reshaping urban mobility with a design reminiscent of a Swiss Army knife with a bamboo frame.
Do you remember when you were a child, a teenager or even a student when you stood up on the trunk of a bicycle? Something similar is also offered by the Moto concept motorcycle, which resembles a sports motorcycle, but with a much shorter seat. The lack of a seat comes at the expense of not two, but as many as four pedals for passengers. Amir Elias' concept Moto allows the transport of as many as three people at the same time, except that none of the passengers sit, but both stand while driving.
It sounds very Italian, but it's not. David Mucci hails from Portland and is a motorcycle designer. Not just any, as you can see. David quit his job years ago to follow his heart and passion. He always looked at motorcycles as works of art, where he follows the saying "less is more". He prefers to get rid of superfluous elements to more easily illuminate the essence of the idea. Let's look at one of his creations, which was based on the Husqvarna motorcycle.
Motochimp is a compact electric motorcycle inspired by a sketch of a ten-year-old girl, and the creators promise - probably because of the height - that you can see the world through a child's eyes while riding it. All engines take themselves pretty seriously, but Motochimp doesn't. It's cute, small and extremely powerful for its size.
BMW is no stranger to motorcycle concepts. The BMW Titan motorcycle is a futuristic motorcycle concept conceived by Mehmet Doruk Erdem and not built in Batman's lair but BMW's factory, although it looks like it was commissioned for Batman.
Low, long and aerodynamic - three necessary features for a drag bike, a motorcycle for acceleration competitions. All three can be found on the Sprintbeemer assembled at Lucky Cat Garage. The French team built it around a modified BMW R50/2 engine chassis and is powered by BMW's R100RS reciprocating engine. They drank it all the way at Edelweiss Motorsport, and added a nitro (NOS) drive for a little more flight.
The Yamaha Sport Heritage series has a new member, the XV950 Racer motorcycle, which faces a challenging task, as it must continue the tradition of revolutionary models that do not freeze. Although time will tell, the minimalist model with a muscular air-cooled V-Twin engine, agile chassis and clip-on handlebars already gives the Sport Heritage family a new dimension.
The future brings such and different vehicles. The Lit Motors C-1 prototype predicts that driving a motorcycle or motorcycle-like vehicle will be much safer in the future. Only you won't be able to accidentally put it on the road.
Folding bikes are nothing new, but a folding scooter is probably a bit more difficult to imagine, at least in terms of the "bulkness" that a scooter has compared to a bicycle. A Moveo is an environmentally friendly portable electric scooter that folds into a travel case and is therefore no less a scooter than classic scooters. It can take you 35 kilometers on a charge that takes just one hour, and even further with an additional battery.
Is it an electric bike that looks like a motorcycle or vice versa? Did it come from a museum or the future? We conclude that it is an electric motorcycle that evokes different feelings. Both in terms of form and content. The Munro 2.0, as it's called, is like a ghost from the past, the ghost of the famous New Zealand racer Burt Munro, who set speed records on his Indian 1920 motorcycle after World War II.
