Some concepts are intended to show a design, while some are simply designed to present possible technological futures. However, some concepts do both. That's exactly the case with this concept, which is called the Tesla Model C. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with Tesla or the Model C.
He imagines a vision for the world in 2030, a period when personal travel in the middle of dense Californian traffic will be complicated. Getting the best of both worlds, namely two-wheelers and cars is the aim of this concept, which offers a rare combination of road safety, driving comfort, compact size and driving dynamics!
This design is actually the result of the thinking of two designers: Drake Nolte, originally from Canada, and Jack Donald Morris from Austria. The two designers have significant experience in terms of transport design, so this project is carefully considered.
A Tesla could not be called that without having 100% electric operation. This is the case on this concept bike, thanks to engines placed at the front. Two wheels, a swinging arm, a sort of hybridization between a handlebar and a Formula 1 steering wheel set the tone, it is indeed the DNA of a motorcycle.
In terms of ergonomics, the Tesla Model C would be equipped with a head-up display in the upper part of the vehicle, a comfortable seat allowing you to be in a semi-reclining position, as well as side panels acting as doors while driving, which remain in place when driving, thus protecting the rider. As soon as the Tesla Model C stops, the door opens, stabilizing the motorcycle and protecting the rider's legs when stopping between cars. But that's not all: this concept also has a specific position for parking, by retracting the motorcycle which has the effect of raising the rider in order to exit comfortably, but also reducing the space occupied on the ground. Ingenious!
Of course, this remains a concept for the moment, but it shows what the vehicles of the future can look like and the possibilities of making things even better than before when it comes to travel. It's concepts like these that will always spark the imagination of someone with enough financial backing and dare to take the step to truly make it a reality. Elon Musk would be a perfect example…
