The team behind the Ichiban electric motorcycle has recently unveiled the first prototype of the two-wheeler, complete with the Godzilla mode. As Ivan Zhurba, the founder of Ichiban Motorcycles, shares with us, the pilot prototype has limited functionality because the team is working on the engineering part at the present time. ‘

We are making a lot of effort to deliver the full specs and price range to our clients,’ he adds. So far, the Ichiban electric motorcycle prototype was revealed on the weekend of June 28th and 29th at Reload Land, a major event for electric bikes in Berlin, Germany. This is the first time that the public has seen the real-life model of the two-wheeler.

ichiban electric motorcycle prototype with ‘boost’ mode

The team behind the Ichiban electric motorcycle prototype has designed the vehicle using a Japanese idea called Kanso, which means simplicity or removing clutter. With this in mind, the exterior looks clean and minimal, visually strengthened by the softened pointed tips and rounded edges. At the present time, the specs include having a dual motor system that gives it 45 kW of power. The vehicle can go from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in only 3.5 seconds, and it also has a boost feature called Godzilla Mode. When the rider activates this on the handlebar, the motorbike gets a burst of extra power, making the ride faster.

The Ichiban electric motorcycle prototype is the first model. Since its introduction in February 2025, the team has received over 2,000 interested buyers who have already placed their pre-orders, and at Reload Land in Berlin, Germany, they accepted an additional 100 more pre-orders. The team adds that many of the buyers are first-time motorcycle riders, and at the moment, the team continues working on building the final, production version of the Ichiban electric motorcycle based on the unveiled prototype. So far, there’s no news yet on when the design team can reveal the final production-ready model of the two-wheeler inspired by Shotaro Kaneda’s bike in the anime Akira.

Kuickwheel introduces Skyrider X6, a flying electric tricycle for land and air that can take off, hover, and touch down on its own. Unveiled on June 16th, 2025, the enterprise put it up for bidding on the e-commerce platform JD.com, and the event lasted for over four hours before it got sold. So far, the flying tricycle, which the company describes as a motorcycle, can take off and land on its own and also features automatic route planning and cruising, which allow the rider to just enjoy the views from above. For those who want to control it, the manual mode and joystick control are still present, with the wheel inspired by the ones found in car-racing arcade games.

Kuickwheel’s flying tricycle Skyrider X6 has a reversed three-wheel design. Instead of the typical two wheels at the front and one at the rear, it’s the opposite for this model, combined with a mid-mounted rear-wheel drive power that stabilizes the personal aircraft when it lands. The company says that because of this design, the eVTOL-like vehicle can also take sharp turns at high speeds, all the while maintaining a stable posture while cruising on land. For the body of the vehicle, the design team uses carbon fiber and aviation-grade aluminum, making the personal aircraft lightweight and robust enough for land and air.

Parachute that deploys automatically in case of emergencies

Some of the safety features included in Kuickwheel’s flying tricycle Skyrider X6 are the power redundancy and backup systems. For the former, the multiple exposed rotors work together, and if one of them stops working mid-flight, the others can keep the personal aircraft floating without crashing. For the latter, these are in the flight controls, helping the hovering motorcycle be stable even if the rider cruises through bad weather conditions. In this case, when a system fails, another one can take over to keep the flight going. During crucial times, there’s also an emergency parachute on board, which will automatically be deployed to bring the aircraft down safely on land.

Kuickwheel’s flying tricycle Skyrider X6 runs on a large battery, around 10.5 kilowatt-hours. The owner can charge it using the same fast chargers made for electric cars, and the company says that it only takes an hour for the hovering motorcycle to be fully charged. When not used in the air, the personal aircraft works like a motorcycle on land, equipped with an electric motor that can go up to 70 km/h and travel up to 200 kilometers on a single charge. When the user needs to take off, Kuickwheel’s flying tricycle Skyrider X6 uses six exposed rotors to lift the vehicle off the ground and start cruising in the air. It can fly at speeds up to 72 km/h and stay in the air for about 20 minutes. So far, one model has been sold during the bidding event, and there’s no news yet on its commercial availability.

For the first time, Teenage Engineering designs a customizable electric moped with the Swedish brand Vässla. Named epa-1, the acronym stands for ‘En Passar Alla,’ or ‘one fits all.’ The design teams say that the name refers to the electric moped being customizable and easy to update depending on the preference of the rider. They can choose to add different accessories onto the base of the ride, including a front rack, a passenger seat, a helmet box, some floor decals, and even a cargo basket. Around Teenage Engineering’s first-ever electric moped is a series of small screw holes, all of which are for custom mounts, accessories, upgrades, and decal kits.

‘The moped is meant to be used,’ the design teams say, and so they’ve considered a robust frame and set of covers, lights, and screws for epa-1, so the entire ride can weather tears and wear over time. ‘For example, the covers are colored through and not just painted, so you don’t have to worry about scratches,’ they add. The two-wheeler is also visibly bare of any vivid design elements, and even if there are models with bright colors, these shades only appear in some of the parts and not throughout the entire body, mainly around the front headlights and the sides.

All-black model to launch in the summer of 2025

Teenage Engineering and Vässla’s customizable electric moped epa-1 comes with an alarm for theft security, and it uses LED lights for the front and rear. It is also NFC-ready, and riders can use the two-wheeler as a power bank when they plug in their smartphone and use the USB mobile charging. The motorcycle is also keyless, and its range depends on the kind of battery it has: +100 km with the 50Ah battery and 60 km with the 30Ah one. Riders can cruise up to 45 km/h on the road and even 25 km/h on a bike path, depending on the class they’ll choose. 

Either way, the Swedish electronics and brand both have the options available and authority-approved. In front of the the rider, they find a small screen flashing the ride’s information. So far, there’s no news yet whether Teenage Engineering and Vässla’s customizable electric moped epa-1 has a dedicated app where the riders can monitor the battery percentage, cruising speed, and more. At the present time, the design teams are gearing up to launch a special edition, which comes in black, from the frame down to the screws, in the summer of 2025.

Æ Motion’s tilting electric motorcycle comes with four wheels that can bend when the vehicle turns corners. First introduced in late 2024, the team brought the ride to the annual technology conference VivaTech in Paris, France, between June 11th and 14th, 2025. Visitors then were able to see Æ Motion’s tilting electric motorcycle in person, which resembles a microcar because of its enclosed frame and four wheels. The doors swivel upward, which makes the entry and exit spacious, and inside the vehicle, there’s enough seating for two people, just like a two-wheeled motorcycle. The first seat folds down so the rear passengers can sit at the back.

The rear seat is modular, too. If there’s no other passenger, the rider can ‘stow’ the back seat, meaning push it forward and then push it down a bit, to allow for storage space at the rear, enough for grocery bags and a small piece of luggage. The neon seatbelts attach to both sides of the rider and passenger, similar to those in a pilot’s seat. Inside Æ Motion’s tilting electric motorcycle, the crash boxes are located at the front and rear, and for the model, the team installs removable batteries, positioned just under the front seat and between the rider’s feet.

‘Thin’ vehicle to navigate traffic and tight roads

Æ Motion says that its tilting electric motorcycle lasts long in a way that owners can take it to an authorized garage for easy swaps and repairs of its sub-assemblies. The main feature that the team highlights the most is the bending chassis, which tilts up to 35 degrees when the vehicle turns or takes a sharp turn. The user naturally manages the angling using the handlebar, which is the same dynamics as a two-wheeler. The team adds that the electric powertrain installed in the model delivers immediate torque, so the speed is consistent even after a turn.

Another evident feature of the ride is how thin it is. The vehicle’s width is 79 centimeters, sort of similar to a standard motorcycle or scooter, which means it’s easy for the rider to navigate traffic, narrow streets, and tight roads. It helps that the entire frame is covered, so there’s a reduced risk of road accidents, especially with impacts. Specs-wise, Æ Motion’s tilting electric motorcycle can run up to a maximum speed of 115 km/h, and the swappable batteries offer up to 70 kilometers of autonomy. So far, there’s no news yet on the commercial availability of Æ Motion’s tilting electric motorcycle, but the pre-order pool has already opened for interested riders.

Škoda Auto puts a futuristic and electric spin on its 1899 Slavia B motorbike, transforming it into a concept café racer. Developed by French designer Romain Bucaille, who works on car exteriors at Škoda Design, the Slavia B motorbike retains the original frame design of its predecessor. In the 1899 model, the frame cages the combustion engine to protect it from brushing against the pavement. In the reimagined concept two-wheeler, it’s the engine’s shape that the designer keeps, carving a hollow form in the space where the motor should be. 

At the front of the concept Škoda Slavia B motorbike, the engineering work of Václav Laurin, the designer of the previous model, comes through. A vertical line splits the front and the rear sections. It’s an attempt by Romain Bucaille to highlight the frame’s silhouette. His logo interpretation is also modern, seemingly floating in the air, just above the hollow-engine space. Even the seat design looks like it’s hovering, disconnected from the body of the concept Škoda Slavia B motorbike. A closer look lets the viewers see the leather tool bag integrated into the frame, which, for the concept’s designer, is an essential item for endurance races back in the day.

futuristic café racer in Modern Solid style

Back then, Škoda Auto had the name Laurin & Klement. We’re in 1899, the debut year of both Slavia A and Slavia B. The latter is the company’s second motorbike model. It was, and still is, special because it was the first model that the company entered in an international race in 1901 before designer Romain Bucaille modernized it.

The frame is a bike, just with an encased engine in the frame’s heart. It had no gearbox, as the flat belt connected to the engine generated the power. The chain was used for the power transmission. It was a historic model for the company, given that factory rider Narcis Podsedníček completed the Paris–Berlin race in 1901 on the Slavia B.

Škoda’s Romain Bucaille puts a futuristic and electric spin on its 1899 Slavia B motorbike

buffed-up version of the 1899 model

Narcis Podsedníček was the only participant in his class to reach the finish line. Sadly, he was never declared the winner. Such rich history tugs at Romain Bucaille to revive the model. As soon as he sees the result, he thinks it’s a futuristic café racer in Modern Solid style. It’s the buffed-up version of the Škoda Slavia B motorbike.

The large fan spokes on the wheels spin endlessly as it cruises. The metal seat extends to the back, wrapped with leather. The hollow engine space glows in neon green. The dashboard is on the same level as the seats, and the handlebars are snug enough around the hands. So far, the Škoda Slavia B motorbike is still a concept. The company produces automobiles these days, but with the two-wheeler, they might as well revert to motorcycles.

Cédric Rouvroy, or RO-C Works, reimagines Canyon Bicycles as an electric dirt bike for off-road trails, jumps, and races. In his concept motorbike, the designer uses clay to mold the body of the ride with the help of two robotic arms. The shape underlines the main body parts of the concept Canyon electric dirt bike: the V-shaped seat with a sharp tail, the pentagon-seeming battery case, and the small digital screen where the gas tank could have been.

The forks and chains of the concept Canyon electric dirt bike are in polished brass. The rest of the vehicle swings between the shades of gray and black. Dunlop tires fit the concept two-wheeler, and right across the shiny metal frame, the designer prints the word CANYON. Cédric Rouvroy gives his project the name Surge:On. It hints at the miles and trails that the concept Canyon electric dirt bike can take on, moving forward regardless of the paths.

Robotic arms piecing the parts together

Surge:On is a direct suggestion to Canyon Bicycles from Cédric Rouvroy. The designer believes it could be a direction the bike company could take, design- and product-wise. They already have several types of bicycles, from road, gravel, and electric to mountain and city models. For the RO-C Works founder, the concept Canyon electric dirt bike can be the next one in line, bringing what he describes as a ‘fresh DNA’ to the motorbike design segment.

His suggested design then follows the brand’s language. It is minimal and bold, lightweight yet robust. He pushes it further by giving it well-defined lines around the concept Canyon electric dirt bike’s frame. Because of these elements, the clean frame of the two-wheeler can stand out from the get-go. His design process even includes the manufacturing process. For Cédric Rouvroy, that means using clay to mold the frame and two robotic arms to piece the parts together and wash away the dirt. So far, the electric dirt bike is only a concept, inspired by Canyon Bicycles.

Flying Flea, the electric vehicle brand from Royal Enfield, taps artist Mattia Biagi to produce Motototem, a concept art motorbike wrapped with stone, walnut, and resin. The vehicle is on view during Milan Design Week 2025 as part of the Superdesign Show located at Via Tortona 27, running between April 7th and 12th, 2025. The Italian artist uses Flying Flea’s FF.C6 model as his canvas for the sculptural art project. The motorcycle retains its original silhouette, which is inspired by the 1940s Royal Enfield Flying Flea. 

Then, he reimagines several components and forges them from natural materials. The range includes the use of stone, wood, glass, bronze, leather, and resin. For the concept art motorbike, Mattia Biagi maintains the forged aluminum frame of Royal Enfield’s Flying Flea model. Then, he transforms the house of the fuel tank into travertine, a porous stone associated with mineral springs. He shapes it to resemble a parachute, referencing the original Flying Fleas that were deployed from planes during wartime.

‘Motototem’ with handlebar grips made of bronze

Looking at the handlebar grips of the art motorbike by Royal Enfield’s Flying Flea and Mattia Biagi, they glimmer with bronze components molded from the artist’s fingerprints. It’s the same theme that runs through the course of the foot pegs to reinforce the tactility of the concept art vehicle. Then, instead of the typical front and rear LED lighting, the art motorbike incorporates hand-blown glass forms. The artist pulls the making of this material using high-temperature processes often involved in both art and vehicle designs.

The front and rear fenders use transparent resin embedded with dried leaves. After that, the front fender of Motototem integrates with the FF.C6’s girder fork suspension, which is a distinguishing feature of the production model. The rear section includes a seat made from solid walnut, replacing the FF.C6’s standard unit with a natural wood finish. Motototem also includes clay-molded inserts attached to the fork assembly. These clay elements are positioned where fork guards are traditionally found on off-road motorcycles, such as the upcoming FF.S6.

Concept motorcycle with battery enclosure and fins

The same clay material appears on the chain guard, connecting different parts of the vehicle with a single design component. As for the FF.C6’s magnesium battery enclosure, originally designed with fins for heat dissipation and structural integration, the artist and brand keep it as it is. On this concept art motorbike, however, they furnish it with a black stone element. 

The tires remain off-road capable, while the artist adds leather swallows to the tire surfaces as a symbolic gesture. These leather additions are not functional. They reflect instead the themes of travel, return, and continuity. Motototem then attempts to combine engineering with art and design with the use of natural materials. Visitors to the Superdesign Show located at Via Tortona 27 can see the real-life model of Motototem until April 12th, 2025.

Unleashed at Expo 2025 Osaka as part of the Kawasaki Heavy Industries pavilion themed ‘Mobile Instincts,’ CORLEO is a futuristic off-road mobility concept. Combining the energy of motorcycling with advanced robotics and designed to conquer mountains and traverse rugged terrains, the hydrogen-powered machine walks on four robotic legs equipped with adaptive hooves. Echoing Kawasaki’s long-standing ‘Fun to Ride’ philosophy, this concept offers riders a unique outdoor riding experience.

CORLEO adapts to uneven ground with its hooves

CORLEO represents the Japanese corporation’s vision of mobility in 2050, where instinct, technology, and the natural environment move in sync. The chassis of the Kawasaki vehicle mimics the responsive feel of a motorcycle, but instead of wheels, it uses independently articulating legs with swing arms that absorb impact and adapt to uneven ground. Each leg ends in a hoof made from slip-resistant rubber, split left-to-right to conform to varied surfaces like grass, gravel, and rock. This legged mobility platform maintains balance and stability while also keeping the rider’s body in a forward-looking posture, even when ascending steep slopes or climbing steps.

A 150cc hydrogen engine generates electricity to power the leg-mounted drive units, with a rear-mounted hydrogen canister supplying the fuel to ensure low emissions and silent operation. The onboard navigation panel helps guide adventurers by showing the path to the summit, the rider’s center of gravity, and hydrogen levels. For nighttime rides, CORLEO projects illuminated markers onto the terrain ahead.

CORLEO combines the thrill of motorcycling with advanced robotics

Sensors enable the robot to adapt to the rider’s motions

Designed for intuitive control, CORLEO responds to the rider’s weight shifts through sensors embedded in the stirrups and handlebars. The height of the stirrups can also be adjusted to maintain ergonomic posture, enhancing the tight connection between human and machine. This ongoing exchange between the rider and the mobility system, apart from offering control and comfort, also creates a new kind of ride experience that is more instinctive, almost animalistic.

uniform fluid metal body shapes Arthur II bike

Built upon a Royal Enfield 650, Arthur II embodies Bandit9’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship. While modern manufacturing leans on computer-guided fabrication, the design team crafts Arthur II entirely by hand, shaping it with a hammer, anvil, and precise metalworking. The process creates a unibody aesthetic, stripping away unnecessary components to achieve a pure, refined silhouette.

Arthur II’s unibody structure eliminates visible joints, creating a continuous metal surface

Bandit9 focuses on artistry rather than just function

Arthur II functions as a fully operational motorcycle, but its presence extends beyond the road. With past Bandit9 designs showcased in museums worldwide, this piece continues the brand’s exploration of motorcycles as sculptural objects. The design invites movement yet remains static in its artistry, crafted as much to be displayed as it is to be ridden.

Honda reveals its Pokémon Koraidon motorcycle with hands, face, eyes, and feet that move as the vehicle speeds away. Launched under the Honda Koraidon Project and under the supervision of The Pokémon Company, the vehicle appears at Honda Welcome Plaza Aoyama in Tokyo, Japan from March 7th to March 9th, 2025. The main feature of the Honda Pokémon Koraidon motorcycle is the balance control technology.

First introduced at CES 2017, it comes with the Honda Riding Assist. It lets the vehicle stand on its own without unfolding the kickstand. This means the two-wheeler can balance itself if the rider momentarily takes their hands off the handlebars (although this is not encouraged). Aside from this, the Honda Pokémon Koraidon motorcycle has animated hands, feet, neck, face, eyes, and eyelids. It’s the company’s way to bring the video game character to life.

Real-life two-wheeler model appears in tokyo, japan

The Honda Pokémon Koraidon motorcycle is true to the weight and size of the character. The company says they’re reproducing it almost to the fullest and with attention to design details such as the facial features. The design team wants viewers, and the riders themselves, to feel as if they were meeting the real Koraidon in person. The character appears in the Pokémon Scarlet video game released in 2022. The reptile is the companion that grows as it travels with the protagonist. It can also change its form depending on the situation. 

Because of this backstory, the physical features of the Honda Pokémon Koraidon motorcycle move. The character in the video game can also take the protagonist on a ride to various places. The best way the company puts it into reality is by turning Koraidon’s ability into an actual two-wheeler. There’s no news yet on the specifications of the motorcycle. Presently, fans can see the real-life model of the Honda Pokémon Koraidon motorcycle at the Honda Welcome Plaza Aoyama in Tokyo, Japan from March 7th to March 9th, 2025.
