Title: Can't get more vapourware than this!
Post by: Fred on October 12, 2021, 04:32:26 PM
I stumbled over this on LinkedIn of all places. After a recent discussion of what's vapourware, protoware, etc. there doesn't seem to be a better definition of an electric motorcycle you'll never actually ride than one desgned to be used on the moon.

While the idea of a mooncycle is a fun and interesting one that is an absolutely terrible design and I wouldn't want to be the astronaut that takes a spill on it. A smaller single occupant version of the original moon buggy, an ATV basically, would be a more practical idea.

As a NASA inspired but earth bound road bike it would be kind of cool though however with a 9mph top speed and those tyres that's obviously not what they're going for.

Are they trying to sell me something?  I got lost during the message - whatever it was.  ::)

You would genuinely have to be insane to ride a motorcycle in a spacesuit.

Cas :)

It's essentially just an art piece, going to be on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum as part of the ADV:Overland exhibition (whatever that is).
