    Emergency information is also displayed on the visor warning him of impending collisions.

  • Information

    Zero Emissions and more

  • The Motorrad is expected to be a zero-emissions bike. The motorbike will rest in a compact form when the bike is stationary however will elongate while moving to enhance aerodynamics and help protect the rider. It will run on a futuristic "non-gasoline power source."

  • About

    Motorrad's Dynamic Shape
