Here’s something to really twist your melon. It’s called the WMC250EV, a radical electric motorbike that’s taken traditional two-wheeled packaging, screwed it into a ball then tossed it over its shoulder.
Why? In order to go really, really fast. But also to make bikes of the future a lot more efficient.
The secret is pretty obvious: that MASSIVE hole right through the middle of it. It’s wild – like someone got a giant apple corer and lanced it through a motorbike’s heart. Actually, that’s exactly what a clever chap called Robert White did.
He’s been helping make fast things go faster for the last 25 years, having worked on Prodrive’s LMP1 prototypes, Aussie V8 Supercars and Mercedes’ F1 car. But then he thought some of the clever tech the four-wheeled world was using could be applied to two.
