Digging through The Kneeslider archives while looking for something else, I came across an article you may remember about Lotus Motorcycles. Daniel Simon, a digital artist who does absolutely stunning work, created the design and it was written about all over the web at the time, around 2013 or so. Unlike many design concepts, some of these were actually built and I found one … [Read more...]
Curtiss Pushes the Electric Motorcycle Design Envelope
While I was away, my inbox never slept and judging by the number of notices coming in for concept, pre-production or in-production electric motorcycles, you would think the end of fossil fuels had already arrived. The discussion of that possibility deserves a post all its own, but I thought I’d highlight a few of the latest rechargeable two wheelers, in no particular order, to … [Read more...]

I just ran across the URB-E folding scooter and it seems to do exactly that. … [Read more...]
2015 Confederate C2 P51 Project Drawing Revealed
Confederate Motorcycles has just shown a drawing of their 2015 C2 P-51 Fighter. A video with Pierre Terblanche, Confederate's head of design, gives us a general idea of what they're doing, as he highlights a few features of the new bike. The billet aluminum cases are 40 pounds lighter than the previous version, the heads, barrels and valve covers are all new, plus they have a … [Read more...]
