Monocasco

Electric bike concept

MONOCASCO

 

This e-concept motorcycle is a tribute to the classic Ossa monocasco which Santiago Herrero rode in four Grand Prix races before his fatal crash in 1970.

 

However, this piece is part of a new generation of motorcycles which are cleaner and not only in their forms (running with lithium-ion battery packs). This e-naked is designed more for the café rather than for the competition.

 

It design lines are compact and very close to the user. A trunk bound with two leather belts gives us access to the mechanics and can also be used to store some personal effects.

 

The seat is integrated in the design lines of the bodywork and provides an intuitive and dominant riding position. Although a short suspensions and a more curved seat to reduce its height (maximum seat height might be between 730 and 750mm and a wheelbase around 1350mm), will lower the center of gravity and will provide more confidence to the pilot during the stops and while driving at low speeds.
