Born to be Wild Design

In the competitive world of sleek and wind splitting motorcycle design, aero-dynamic drag efficiency takes a back seat only to face stretching speed and performance. This latest concept by NON-OBJECT called “nUCLEUS” throws out the current rule book and presents this “Square Against Air” electric motorcycle design. nUCLEUS boasts a thin comfortable saddle and horse-like behavior that lowers itself when idle and raises when in motion. The air defying side-view hides the fact that these pieces of metal are simply blades from the front. I would be curious to see how this machine proves itself in a wind tunnel and stability at high speeds.

Side note: You NEED to check out the movie page here. It’s mind blowing.

hands down this is the craziest thing I have ever seen and the coolest. Sign me up for a newsletter for any production news on it.

talk about a paper cut.

But really this is a very nice design, although it probably wobble out of control or lift off from the front opening. Very futuristic

The form looks good on side view though. Interesting concept coming from user experience point of view. But i was wondering how can the bike lean sideways when approaching a corner

Anyone who’s ever ridden a motorcycle can tell you now that this simply will not work - in order to turn a corner on a motorcycle you need to lean into the corner. Leaning over on this bike will see you scraping the side ferring and falling right off. Add to that the fact that there is no movable gear or break pedal, and that the first sideways whisper of wind will throw you right off balance and you’ve got a pretty lousy, impractical design.

Design is supposed to be a combination of aesthetic beauty and practicality. This is neither.

It’s kind of ironic that while thinking outside the box, you come up with .. a box.

This is far from an inspiring/inspired design… Besides the fact that it will blow over in a cross wind, it will become the worlds largest meat cleaver in an accident. Pretty much a design failure on all fronts.

The designers of this should be forced to ride it across the Bay Bridge everyday to work for a week.

It might give them some insight on the phenomenon commonly referred to as “cross-breeze.”

Just sayin’

Looks easy to work on, too.

I am a REAL designer and I say: this is total bullshit. I dont even call it a design.

It is as if a noob 3dsmax user modelled sthg and said “this could be a bike if I put wheels under it” Retard!
