Meet The First Motorcycle With Bodywork Made Of Copper
What happens when a designer worked with a furniture maker to design a motorcycle? Well, the result is this gorgeous motorcycle called Trimarchi Samotracia Copper Motorbike.

Never mind that it is not aerodynamically sound, the angular form and the copper gave it a look that I just can’t take my eyes off.

What’s your impression of electric motorcycles? They look like ordinary motorcycles but powered by electric motor? You are not wrong. But that is set to change with Stuttgart-based electric bike maker Sol Motor’s Pocket Rocket. It may look like an ebike with a design similar to Uni Micro’s newest example, but it is not.
