Re: [EVDL] EVLN: Proposed Tesla e-motorcycle concept by designer Serrano

[Chris Tromley via EV]

Give me a flippin' break.  *FAR* too "out there" to have a prayer of
reasonable sales figures.  Hub center steering has been tried in the
marketplace and got few nibbles.  Motorcyclists are a conservative lot,
even those who like the techy end of the spectrum.

I maintain that if Tesla wants to build a motorcycle, they could merely
re-start production of the 'Mission R:

http://www.cycleworld.com/2013/06/04/mission-motorcycles-mission-r-and-rs-electric-superbikes-first-look-review-photos/

The company folded for reasons not connected with the goodness of the
bike.  It is a gentlemens' express, so very much in keeping with the Tesla
demographic.  It's a bike that deserves to be back on the market, and Tesla
could do it.

[EVDL] EVLN: Proposed Tesla e-motorcycle concept by designer Serrano

Proposed Tesla e-Bike design concept by Serrano

concept e-motorcycle
]

Italian designer Antonio Serrano has put up a set of renderings, playing a
“what-if?” game of Tesla manufacturing an electric motorcycle. This design
concept would be made out of carbon fiber, aluminium, and high-strength
plastic for lightness and strength.

Dubbed the “Tesla e-Bike” by Serrano, the concept calls for hub-center
steering, an engineering design last seen in public on the Bimota Tesi and
Yamaha GTS 1000 over 20 years ago. An OLED dashboard display shows all
essential information required in a high-tech, minimalistic fashion.

“Tesla e-Bike is a conceptual project based on a vision what if Tesla Motors
manufactured an electric motorcycle. Just like Tesla principles, this e-bike
is high-tech, fast, efficient, and ecological,” says Serrano. No word on
whether Elon Musk might be interested in this other-worldy design, but it
certainly looks sleek and efficient.
