It’s estimated that 5% of global CO₂ eq. emissions come from old, inefficient two-wheeled traffic. Fast growing economies rely on this kind of transportation a lot and will continue to do so, while much cleaner options could be made available at a similar pricepoint.
Everlab was asked to help design the electic motorcycle for this user group. The production cost per motorcycle needed to be as low as possible. The infrastructure, allowing users to self-swap the batteries was part of the design process.
The motorcycle needs to accomodate for it’s multi purpose use case scenarios: In many places they would be used as taxis, while others use them to transport large amounts of materials over difficult terrain.
Our USA based client is no new player in the electric vehicle market. Therefore, the design process was fast paced and the boundaries of our freedom to design where clear.
