The Embrio
Designer: Canadian multinational Bombardier
Engine : Complex hydrogen fuel cell
Status : Prototype
Credibility: Single wheeled, emits only water vapor
The Embrio from Bombraider
is a prototype, which could become avirtual reality
somewhere around 2025 for this technology is too ultramodern considering the
present generation bikes. It sports a single wheel and is powered by a
hydrogen fuel cell, which creates power by mixing hydrogen and oxygen,
creating only water as a by-product.
The
Renovatio
Designer : Ed Jacobs
Engine: 135 hp, V-twin engine, specially designed by Katech
Status : Pre -Production
Credibility: Easy to upgrade and reconfigure
Confederate Motorcycles lead designer Ed Jacobs designed this drastic
bike concept with large attachment points easily available on the engine
ensuring improvements and assorted configurations at ease. Powered by a
V-Twin engine, it produces 135 hp at 125ft/lbs of torque. Confederate is
confident about this unique concept it has developed and it plans to produce
it some time this year.
The V-Rex
Designer : Tim Cameron
Engine: Harley Davidson Revolution V-Twin engine
Status : Being Mass-Produced
Credibility : It took a leap from the computer screen to metal and
rubber
For Tim Cameron, the Australian designer of this bike, it was a mere
'dream bike' for he thought dreams were the only place where he would ride
it, but as they say destiny drives us all, this bike had to become a reality.
Tim Cameron's dream were given realistic proportions by the 200mph 'Y2K' jet
turbine-powered bike fame Christian Travert and now
the experts dub it as the most startling motorcycle design ever seen .
The Hyanide
Designer : Oliver Keller and Tillman Schlootz
Engine: 60hp, 500cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder
Status : One fifth of a scale model / currently not going into
production
Credibility : Potent for any terrain, courtesy of its flexible
rubber treads
Designed for last years Michelin Design
Challenge, the Hyanide impressed on and all with
its amazing ability to conquer any terrain. Its flexible rubber treads could
pull the machine through, even if its slightest part is touching the ground.
We have had no news of it since then but we are just hoping that the Germans
decide to send it to the production floor.
Detonator V4 6.0
Designer : Daniel Simon
Engine: 6 liter, 4 Cylinder
Status: Concept/Sculpture
Credibility: Bears no semblance to any existing concepts
The, 'too hot to handle', Detonator V4 6.0, is a mere sculpture with no
intention of being a functional bike. This machine looks like a crossover
between a chopper and an automotive soldered android and hmmm! It reminds me
of those big pizza cutters.
