10 COOLEST MOTORCYCLES OF THE FUTURE
Technology is advancing rapidly, and motorcycle manufacturers are also trying to keep up. These are the top 10 coolest and most incredible motorcycles of the future.
1. BMW Motorrad Vision Next 100
Following the German company BMW's vision of electric cars of the future, designers have unveiled an electric motorcycle of the future called the Vision Next 100. While it lacks the ability to move independently, it controls the rider's actions, preventing any accidents, including rollovers. Furthermore, the rider doesn't need balancing skills, as the motorcycle can remain upright even when stationary.
2. Yamaha Motoroid
Following car manufacturers, motorcycle companies are incorporating artificial intelligence into their products. One of the most prominent companies in this field is Yamaha. They have unveiled the first details of their Motoroid project. The motorcycle will be able to recognize and interact with its owner, communicate, and provide valuable tips. This Yamaha will likely be capable of reaching respectable speeds, over 100 kilometers per hour.
3. Kawasaki Concept J
The motorcycle lacks traditional handlebars; instead, the Concept J features a pair of handlebars attached individually to each of the two front wheels. These movable wheels are the most interesting part of the concept, allowing it to transform its shape depending on the rider's needs. For racing enthusiasts, the motorcycle offers a "sport" mode.
4. Voxan Wattman
A new contender for the title of most powerful electric motorcycle in the world. It's all about the 200-horsepower powerplant, which can propel this 350-kg monster to 160 km/h (99 mph) in just 5.9 seconds, and a top speed of 170 km/h (103 mph). The classic tubular frame is replaced by an aluminum exoskeleton, which acts as a load-bearing structure and holds the battery, motor, and transmission components.
5. Honda Riding Assist-e
Its key feature is its automatic balancing system, designed for beginner riders. Honda's Riding Assist system doesn't use traditional gyroscopes due to their considerable mass. Instead, small steering movements are used to balance the motorcycle. Instead of an internal combustion engine, this motorcycle is powered by an electric motor.
6. BMW Motorrad Concept Link
BMW has unveiled its vision of eco-friendly two-wheeled transportation: a concept scooter for the cities of the future, named the Motorrad Concept Link. The concept meets the highest standards of modern urban mobility, boasting rapid acceleration and easy handling. A reverse gear simplifies maneuvering and makes parking even on the tightest city streets.
7. Johammer J1
The Johammer J1 is an electric motorcycle with a unique appearance. The body is made of corrugated polypropylene, slightly reminiscent of a truncated capsule. To date, the J1 holds the record for kilometers traveled on a single full battery charge. The new model has a range of up to 300 km. The power source can be charged from either a standard outlet or solar panels. This motorcycle is available in two versions: $31,000 and $35,000.
8. Yamaha PES2
Among other features, it features a rearview camera and a number of smart pilot assist systems. The motorcycle is angular and aggressive, but how this design will affect handling remains to be seen. A smart helmet with augmented reality technology is included. Thanks to these innovations, the rider receives more information about the surrounding environment, including data from external cameras and indicators.
9. Full Moon
At a motorcycle show in Germany, a Slovenian company unveiled the unusual Full Moon motorcycle. It's hard to categorize it, as its design is unlike any previous concept motorcycle. The motorcycle's name, "Full Moon," comes from its enormous 30-inch front wheel, made of composite materials and aluminum, and equipped with a complex brake disc.
10. Hero iOn Concept
Indians are also offering a very interesting eco-motorcycle concept, seemingly lifted from a sci-fi movie. The Hero iOn Concept is a striking example of near-future technology. Not only thanks to its electric motor, but also thanks to various ideas designed to change the way we perceive motorcycles. Firstly, the hollow wheels, which are actually electric motors, are striking, while the tires are mounted directly on magnetic rotors that provide braking.
