This firefly-inspired Husqvarna bike balances the comfort of car with the thrill of biking! - Yanko Design

Imagining how the dimension of mobility will evolve in the next few years, Haochen gives his imagination wings in the shape of this firefly-inspired Husqvarna Devil S Concept bike. More often than not, motorbikes are tagged as unsafe since they expose the rider’s body to high-speed dangers in...

I gotta say. This looks like 2030.

Looks like people don't fit in it yet.

That looks dope.

I like it. Maybe I missed it, but how does it stay upright at stops?

 

[bigpoppa]

very nice

Same way those unicycle e scooters do

I kinda like it, but guaranteed it handles like crap with a front tire wider then 1000ss rears. Also found this funny.

It’s a commuter, doesn’t need to handle well lol

Kinda surprised it's finding favour here. My first reaction was just that it looks like it was some design student's thesis project and it seems like I was close. Not my cup of tea, maybe I would like it better after it got an engineering pass

Seems very familiar….

As long as I can get it in Tron blue.

I do not like it at all. Only looks flashy but basically feels like someone designed their idea of a cool motorcycle without ever riding one.
seat belt locations look like your head will be sticking out at the top, so yes protects from any side impacts but on a rollover, your head is the rollbar.
Yanko designs is known for just concepts/art projects and nothing tangible behind the 'design'.

There's so many practicality problems with it they're not worth mentioning, you might as well evaluate it solely on whether or not if you think it's cool. And it doesn't tickle me at all, maybe it's the "thinness" of it, or the high ground clearance. The seatbelt is a bit odd - like practicality aside, it's like the designer wanted to suggest the idea of safety, but without putting much thought into what that would actually mean.

IDK, I should probably leave it at that. I don't mean to **** on new ideas for the sake of it, you're free to interpret for yourself what a motorcycle is or what it should look like.

This is the crux of the inbound electric market for vehicles. Now that you’re not hampered in design because of an engine you can drastically change the shape of the product. But will people buy bikes and cars that don’t ‘look like’ bikes and cars.

pffft "it's only a model"

Ok a CAD rendering.
