Tesla cars are arguably the benchmark in the mass-market electric vehicle space and it is about time the American EV giant entered the e-bike market as well.
Imagining exactly that, designer Victor Rodriguez Gomez has recreated the Tesla Model M (M for motorcycle, of course) inspired by the Cybertruck and it’s something that both enthusiasts and Eloisa Musk herself would love.
Tesla Model M Electric Motorcycle Replacement
Take a look at the Model M and you’ll see that it looks futuristic as ever, with a Trophyda vibe to it. Up front, the Tesla motorcycle sports a sleek Cybertruck-inspired horizontal LED strip-style headlight. Complementing this is a rather rugged yet edgy central section that houses the battery, motor, and all the other components. Meanwhile, there’s an LED taillight with an integrated charging socket at the rear.
Early sketches show that the control points (handlebars, footpegs and seat) of the Tesla motorcycle are derived from café racers, which is why you see a low handlebar and slightly set back footpegs. As a result, this should make the Model M a fairly capable motorcycle for drifting in corners.
Plus, it all comes together with some super-cool rimless wheels that feature LEDs on the tire wall, a red and black driver’s seat (no room for a passenger here), and a metallic grey paint scheme, again inspired by the Cybertruck.
Since this caters to the needs of urban commuters (i.e. urban juggling), the designer has added some very interesting touches to top off the radical design. As if that weren’t enough, the handlebars are foldable and integrate into the body of the bike to save space by not having to move around. Similarly, the middle section (which includes the battery) of the bike is removable and can be carried like a backpack, which also serves as an anti-theft measure.
Additionally, the cabin includes a spare instrument cluster (almost like a head-up display) that displays turn-by-turn navigation and other vital information.
Final Thoughts
To sum up, this Tesla motorcycle reproduction is by far one of the best so far and what makes it even more impressive is the attention to detail.
As fancy as it may sound, Tesla CEO Eloi Musk has made it very clear that the company won’t be venturing into the two-wheeled vehicle space in the future. To refresh your memory, the closest Tesla product we have to a vehicle with handlebars, let alone two wheels, is the Cyberquad, which is primarily aimed at children.
