Ever since electric drivetrains have opened the floodgates to e-scooters, the motorcycling world has never been the same. Being easy to hide pretty much anywhere, the batteries and motors that power up such machines allowed for the strangest of designs to surface all across the industry, both from established companies and newcomers. Few however are as spectacular as this.
It’s called Classic, and it is a product of a group called Carota Design. These guys are into drawing anything from shoes to spaceships. In between, a wealth of motorcycles, including the said Classic.
If you think this looks a lot like a Harley after several months on a diet, you are not mistaking. The scooter has been drawn on purpose to resemble a chopper-style bike, although it is far from what choppers can do.
The electric drivetrain, located just under the seat, has been drawn to mimic a V-shaped twin-engine, and the entire frame of the scooter screams low rider.
Because it has no standard engine per se, there’s a big hole gaping in the middle, just beneath where the makeshift, useless fuel tank is located. Aside for giving the scooter a more familiar look, we have no idea what purpose this tank is supposed to serve.
Being just a design study, the Classic is not to spawn a production run. Also, no technical information was provided, as none is truly needed when coming up with a rendering.
But if the Classic were to be a precursor of a real scooter, it would have shown how motorcycles would have looked if V-twins never caught on.
“Think about it as an alternate future where the V-twin power train never really took off. It would replace a bike in your daily commute in the city or simply to impress your friends at a Sunday brunch gathering,” said according to Yanko Desing the e-scooter creators.
