C-1 Gyroscopically Electric Motorcycle design is based on these three keywords: “subtle”, “simple” and “human”. During the design phase, the designers always kept you in mind to ensure your experience with C-1 will be nothing but superior. Sitting inside this vehicle should make its passengers feel comfortable and spacious, not trapped. Through in-depth researches and numerous mock-ups, finally these designers came up with pretty solid knowledge on how much space people want and need. You probably wonder how this vehicle can stay balance at a stop. C-1 utilizes electronically controlled gyroscopes which are located at the bottom (putting out over 1,300 lb/ft of torque). In this way, this electricmotorcycle can stay balance at a stop or stay upright in the even of a collision. This vehicle can reach top speed of over 120 MPH with battery packs that need to be recharged after 200 miles. C-1 motorcycle can also be said as rolling smart phone. It utilizes H2V, H2C, V2I and V2V connectivity. It transmits all information such as traffic, weather conditions, or construction to inform you about situation ahead of you and advising different routes to take. C-1 Gyroscopically Electric Motorcycle is the perfect vehicle for all city dwellers.
The SPV is a solar powered vehicle made out of aluminum structure with flexible thin-film modules fixed to it. It’s sleek, it’s futuristic, it’s kinda remind us about Nuon solar car from Delft University. The shaft in the centre of the SPV functions as an inbuilt cooling system, integrated in its form. The aerodynamic form allows it to collect energy through a long drive in the desert (or any sunny environment). Hence not only that it is powered by solar power, this car can also recharge your home power, with the extra energycollected using its solar panels. Designer : Omer Sagiv
