The Novus Electric Motorbike redefines the term ‘sleek’ - Yanko Design

1'south general perception of a motorcycle is usually of two wheels, a headlamp, a large fuel tank backside information technology and an engine beneath the tank. There's also a seat, a taillight, and while we're on the subject area of general perception, a chain. Shift to an e-motorbike and some of those components may accommodate to the change in applied science. The fuel tank is replaced by a battery, and the motorcycle'due south form gets revisited to get in look 'electric', but all in all, it still looks like a motorcycle. The Novus due east-motorcycle, nonetheless, turns things upwards a notch. For starters, it looks virtually skeletal, with its sleek, hollowed out pattern.

Minimal, and extremely lightweight, the Novus e-motorcycle boasts of an incredibly sleek outline of a frame that houses everything inside it, from the battery and motor, to the break, to even the headlight and taillight, which are built affluent into the form of the motorcycle. Despite this gravity-defying form, the Novus comes with a top speed of 60 mph and a range of 60 miles on a full charge.

Built entirely by hand (a noteworthy feat in its own regard), the Novus comes with a hollowed out carbon cobweb frame that integrates a battery into its lower one-half. The bombardment is connected to a 14kW brushless motor mounted on the hub of the rear wheel, which "produces a claimed 6.2kW (viii.3bhp) and 200Nm (147ftlb) of torque". Above its carbon fiber frame lies an incredibly long leather seat that extends from the taillight all the style till the front of the motorcycle. Information technology ends on the front with an surface area to dock your smartphone which turns into the dashboard for the motorbike, displaying all the necessary information from speed to battery level.

Showcased (and very well received) at CES 2019, the designers behind Novus are notwithstanding working on refining the paradigm and making information technology street legal. They plan on producing one thousand units of the Novus, although something so cute, minimal, pristine, yet powerful does come at a price. Something on the lines of $39,500 (plus VAT).
