Electric BMW Halbo Saves The Planet But Not You

Posted in:

Posted in Motorcycles

Designed for the BMW Motorrad Innovation Contest, the Halbo turns saving the planet into an extreme sport.

Conceived by designer Pierre Yohanes Lubis, the electric bike is much more planet friendly than say a petro-based vehicle. But, if the concept were to become popular it’s just unsafe enough to thin the herd.

The Halbo takes up about half the space of a conventional motorbike, according to the designer. Its front wheel is standard, gyro-assisted, and even propels the vehicle. The rear “wheel,” which is spherical and attached to a mounted arm, pivots from side-to-side for balance…and just a little less death.

You’re a tricky one, Pierre!
