VertiGO, final result




VertiGO
The VertiGO is a concept motorcycle illustrating the possibilities offered by a revolutionary drive train. This project puts ingrained prejudices behind and show that an electric powered motorcycle will be high-tech, radical, nice to ride and an very special experience! It is a showpiece for the motor industry to smoothen the acceptation of electric powered motorcycles.

Designed around a hole
The styling of the VertiGO is designed around the empty space under the sub-frame and tank. The advantage it generates according to weight distribution goes hand-in-hand with the fact that it makes a difference with current super-sport motorcycles. The main goal during the design of the VertiGO was to design a motorcycle which clearly shows its differences, and the way the components are positioned made it possible to create this beautiful emptiness.

Archetype
The archetype of the VertiGO is special one, the side view on the motorcycle is completely different from current supersport racers! The emptiness under the seat and just in front of the seat is illustrating the typical drive train and instantly generates the awareness of the typical energy source of this motorcycle!
