Gizmag Comment Feed: Electric Voltra concept paves the way for sexy next-gen motorcycle design http://www.gizmag.com As we wrote in last week's article about the ECOS Harbinger, one of the best things about electric vehicles is that they're much simpler in many ways than a petrol vehicle to build. Freed from the necessities of fuel tanks, airboxes, cooling systems, exhausts and the bulky combustion motor itself, designers are going to be able to start with a pretty blank sheet when it comes to designing tomorrow's electric motorcycles. Take the Voltra, a design study by Aussie student Dan Anderson - with its low-slung, bulldog looks, a seat unit that looks like it's floating on air, detachable dash and an engine-mounted swingarm pivot. It's a filthy sexy bike - and yet unlike anything we've seen before; a blue-sky reinvention of the motorcycle based on the new rules the electric age is going to bring in.en gizmag.com Comment on 'Electric Voltra concept paves the way for sexy next-gen motorcycle design' by khangas_1 http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-14791 http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-14791 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:53:14 -0600 Comment on 'Electric Voltra concept paves the way for sexy next-gen motorcycle design' by Dale Fernandes http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11599 http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11599 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:43:29 -0600 Comment on 'Electric Voltra concept paves the way for sexy next-gen motorcycle design' by mrhuckfin http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11266 http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11266 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:31:03 -0600 Comment on 'Electric Voltra concept paves the way for sexy next-gen motorcycle design' by rob yates http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11173 http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11173 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 08:35:30 -0600 Comment on 'Electric Voltra concept paves the way for sexy next-gen motorcycle design' by mrhuckfin http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11143 http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11143 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:04:32 -0600 Comment on 'Electric Voltra concept paves the way for sexy next-gen motorcycle design' by axelowtl http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11134 http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11134 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:30:41 -0600 Comment on 'Electric Voltra concept paves the way for sexy next-gen motorcycle design' by Ed http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11128 http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11128 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:48:42 -0600 Comment on 'Electric Voltra concept paves the way for sexy next-gen motorcycle design' by rseifer http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11092 http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11092 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 08:57:33 -0600 Comment on 'Electric Voltra concept paves the way for sexy next-gen motorcycle design' by rob yates http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11077 http://www.gizmag.com/voltra-sexy-electric-motorcycle/13484/#comment-11077 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 05:39:15 -0600
