Lumeneo Smera Car Concept : Combination of Car and Motorcycle

Still in a form of concept, Lumeneo Smera is all electric city car with scooter sized and one seat only, well not actually one seat, but you have to choose to carry a passanger or luggage, you can’t have both. The ability to go 93 miles on a single charge and hit a top-speed of 80 miles per hour is really impressive. Acceleration is quite acceptable as well, with the 0-60 sprint taking only 8 seconds or so. A 144 volt lithium ion battery pack provides the juice. Lumeneo is planning to start selling Smera next year, but no one mentions anything about the price yet.

BMW HP2 Megamoto Motorcycle

The BMW HP2 Megamoto is the second model in the new HP (High Performance) line and here, too, brand values have been consistently implemented. Driving performance and dynamics have been increased and the motorcycle design reduced to its essential elements. The BMW HP2 Megamoto transfers the BMW HP2 Enduro’s attributes of dynamics, lightness and technical perfection to the road. An optimized engine output, an adjustable upside-down fork and the spring strut serve its adaptation for road use, as do a suitable set of tires and cast aluminum wheels. The stylistic expression of this motorcycle is characterized by a compact form, with the emphasis on the front. Viewed from behind and from the rider?s position, its slim silhouette conveys this motorcycle’s easy mobility, as well as a touch of sensuality and driving pleasure.

Renovatio Concept by Confederate Motor Company

I’m a little bit confused with this motor design, where do I sit ? This renovation concept by Confederate Motor Company uses minimal machine, using the fewest pieces, moving parts and systems to accomplish its dynamic mission. The word “Renovation” itself means rebirth, which also represent the rebirth of their headquarters company after destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The Driving concept was the creation of a conceptually flexible foundation to allow a place for growth and further iteration; a utilitarian modular flexible foundation.

renovatio concept

Conceived by the leader of our conceptual design team, Mr. Ed Jacobs, the motorcycle is at once primitive, bohemian, and yet highly technical. Renovatio is un-compromised, light weight, possesses enormous torque, is capable of extreme performance, yet has maximum real world streetable active safety. It is graceful in motion, yet potentially brutal. It exudes inner beauty through absolute follow through of truth of concept. Renovatio has great proportions, holistic brand gestalt, is original, impactful, alluring and elegant
