Welcome to one magnificent looking BMW concept bike. It’s white, it’s blue, it’s black, it’s beautiful, and it’s hydrogen powered. That’s for realzies. Executed by several students of the ISD of Valenciennes (France), made lovely by a vision for the ecological future of motorbikes. Technologies abound, the “BMW HP Kunst” employs a cryogenic hydrogen tank, battery Li-Po, electronical brakes and controls, and electromagnetic suspensions.
These lovely designers position this bike in the HP range of BMW Motorrad, combining what they call the “player temperament” of the supermotard and the sportivity of a roadster. Asymmetry, dynamism, and one fantastic overall look. I’d do it.
Technic :
– Aluminium frame, tubular parts in steel and carbon parts
– Brushless engine 100kw
– Fuel cell
– Cryogenic hydrogen tank (capacity 20L)
– Battery Li-Po
– Electronical brakes and controls
– Electromagnetic suspensions
Designer: Arik Schwarz, Benoît Czyz, Charles Edouard Berche, and Vincent Montreuil
Is this endorsed by BMW?
Well, I do not know a thing about bikes and hydrogen engines, so I’ll just say I’d like to try riding one of these; its believable.
OMG! I’ve dreamed about this!
Having electronics as part of the braking system is good to get energy from stopping like in a modern formula one car but I’d hope there is also some sort of mechanical braking system as a backup when you eventually run out of juice.
its a copy of the pryect squalo of di Fernando Hillman
do you have a link? I tried to find more of Fernando Hillman’s work but there doesn’t seem to be much online…
Any similarity with project BMW Scualo of 2007 there are. But work belongs in a 95% to my brother Federico Negri. Only Fernando order details. Currently Frederick this retired as a designer but if they want to see his works:…
