The World’s Weirdest Motorbike

The new SunRed-designed motorbike got a prize for BIT (Best Innovative Technology) during the Barcelona Auto Show.


Well, it’s not only about the shape. It is solar-powered! Capturing sunlight, it stores electrical power and moves in the most environmentally respectful way :-) When the bike stops (somewhere in sunny Barcelona, for example), the solar panels surface tops up to 25 sq. feet, so it can store energy for up to 13 miles at 30 mph.

Although this is just a concept, I'll surely keep an eye on it. SunRed guys are very enthusiastic and purposeful.

Well this looks very intriguing, but very few revolutionary-type bikes actually get past the concept stage because they're too expensive to produce/sell and the bike insurance costs are massive.
