This would be nice.



From the article:
Independent and talented designer Jans Slapins from London has presented an interesting virtual project for a Tesla electric motorcycle.

Photos and article - Tesla Model M Motorcycle Concept

It is nice till you go over a speed bump, bottom out the suspension hitting the battery with the wheel and scraping the bottom of the battery housing in the process

I wonder if telsa would change their pack design and chemistry to compete with Zero or would they even care that their power density is less than Zero :/

Designed by someone who doesn't understand Motorcycles, it is hideous.
Tesla has design style , that thing has none.

Looks like a copy of the ugly Voxan Wattman,  they did not sell well and went bust.

This looks a lot like the Sora to me.

Sora looks a lot better bike.

Clickbait of the day.

Also, did the person who made this even ever saw an electric motorcycle, since I can clearly see a clutch handle and gear shifter.

My Brammo Empulse has both a Clutch and shifter lever..... and with Zero, they're two of the largest manufacturers of publicly available Electric Motorcycles.

My Zero has a "clutch" lever off a ZX-14R

Granted it is registered as a "foot brake" in the controller and is activated by pressure, not distance traveled.

At least it steers. There's a motorcycle design column in Motorcycle Consumer News, and the guy laughs about all the concept bikes that are so poorly done they can't even steer.

So "independent?" Yes. "Talented?" No. "Tesla?" Clickbait.

[Justin Andrews]

Agh... The ugly, it burns.
That design is just a whole world of "Nope!"

[benswing]

Glad you guys already found this bit of ridiculousness.  I'm already fighting the misinformation war among my peers on social media.

[Richard230]

Well, there is something to be said for concept motorcycles that are different - as long as the designer doesn't really expect to manufacture or sell them.

If you'd like to point people to an article that clears up this mess...

That thing should come with a bag to put over your head so nobody recognizes you while you ride it.

Pathetic design and unbelievably lame attempt by an untalented designer to cash in on the Tesla name. Sad, really.
