Dubbed the M concept or Model M, the machine previews an electric bike from the Californian EV producer. It is powered by a 204 PS (150 kW) electric motor and can be driven in four computer-controlled modes - Race, Cruise, Standard, and Eco. The electric motor takes energy from lithium-ion batteries, installed as low as possible in the aluminium frame, and features no transmission. The fuel tank location is used as a storage space and can carry a full face helmet. The wheels are made by carbon fiber for reduced weight, while the suspension uses a mono shock at the rear and upside down forks at the front.

The carmaker, co-founded and headed by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, has only one vehicle in its lineup – the luxurious Model S limousine. The plans for the carmaker include even business strategies that reside outside the automotive industry – such as the recently launched stationary battery storage packs. And the company is building in Nevada the world’s largest battery production facility, dubbed the Gigafactory. Later on this year, they will also offer throughout their showrooms the Model X crossover, an all-electric sport ute that should tap the booming demand in the segment, Later on, starting 2017, they intend to democratize the electric vehicle segment, with the Model 3 (rumored to contain a lineup) that should come with a price of $35,000. And visionaries even imagine the automaker going towards motorcycle building (Audi owns Ducati, so why not?). One example is designer Jans Slapins, who already gained some popularity thanks to the Lamborghini Rat Rod and BMW Urban Racer concepts. He now took us through the idea of having Tesla build a motorcycle – dubbed Model M – equipped with a 150kW electric motor that delivers four computer controlled modes: Race, Cruise, Standard, and Eco. Power comes from Lithium-ion batteries (perhaps hypothetically built in Nevada) and the frame is being made out of aluminum – even the fuel tank location has a new function: it’s a water-tight storage space that has room for a laptop or full face helmet.
