Would you like to own a truly unique motorcycle? Then the Batpod, a dude motorcycle designed by Nathan Crowley specifically for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises movies and ridden by none other than Batman (Christian Bale), is perfect for you. He used it in The Dark Knight when he was running away from the Joker (Heath Ledger) in the Tumbler, when he wanted to save Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and when he was chasing Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). In The Dark Knight Rises, he and Seline Kyle (Anne Hathaway) used it during battles with Ban (Tom Hardy) and his League of Shadows. This very Batpod – well, one of only six – can now be yours!

Gone are the days when we associated printers only with printing ink on paper! The company AP Works recently presented the Light Rider electric motorcycle, which is made with the help of a 3D printer. It is the first motorcycle of its kind, which gives it an ultra-light construction. It weighs a mere 35 kilograms!
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 BMW HP4 Race is the most exclusive BMW motorcycle ever. We can only really speak of him in superlatives. It will be truly something special. BMW has outdone itself in creating the concept. Together with other innovations, he presented it at the EICMA fair in Milan, which is considered the pilgrimage center of the motorcycle industry. It will have an Akrapovic exhaust system.
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.
The motorcycle family has grown by one member. Brooklyn-based Vanguard is a new motorcycle brand that will debut the attractive Vanguard Roadster motorcycle at the IMS Motorcycle Show in New York. If it reminds you of the Confederate P120 Fighter Combat motorcycle, it's no coincidence, as it shares the S&S X-Wedge V-twin platform with them, and today's technical director of the company was once the chief designer of the Confederate brand.
Velocifero MAD is a unique electric scooter with personality and lifestyle. A cross between a mini-scooter and an electric bicycle, it offers mobility with a scooter like no other before. And where most turn, the journey for the Velocifero MAD scooter only really begins.
At first glance, we can say hats off and kudos to the Arizona company Local Motors for this brilliant and imaginative idea. The whole thing was somehow cooked up by the Internet, as it is credited both for the idea and the concept as well as for collecting the necessary funds through the platforms intended for this purpose.
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.
Your wish can be granted! Nuviz introduced the HUD (Heads-up display), a screen that has a similar function to the dashboard in a car. This will make driving on a motorbike safer, as you will no longer have to move your head down when you want to read travel information.
Piaggio Ciao is known to everyone, and it has been talked about a lot recently, when the law on motor vehicles was changed. But that's not even important now, because we're going to focus on one of the most interesting examples of this popular motorcycle. Here is the Piaggio Racer.
Harley-Davidson is certainly one of the most traditional motorcycle manufacturers in the world. They are a company that stays true to the old school of making steel horses.
