The Anti-Bike
Helen Walters over at Business Week points to a motorbike that’s look been stripped down to the basic features. Designed by Branko Lukic of NonObject, the nUCLEUS is an alternative fuel motorbike concept that looks like it will flip if you passed the wheels of a juggernaut at speed. Helen says that Lukic’s concepts are not necessarily meant to be produced, but designed to start a conversation about received design wisdom.
On the site, the designer says:
It’s a motorcycle built on the antagonistic principle of “square against air”. And yet, despite its unique appearance and apparent opposition to aerodynamic design, nUCLEUS ended up being surprisingly nimble. The square side-view hides the fact that these pieces of metal are simply… fierce blades that cut through air. nUCLEUS also boasts a thin comfortable saddle and horse-like behavior system - a new way to connect with your vehicle: it gets up on its hind legs in action, and rests down squarely while locked or at rest.
