What happens when you combine an electric motorcycle with the Tesla Cybertruck? Lin Yu Cheng’s Aether. Unlike other models currently out on the market, this one boasts two front air intakes that come equipped with ceramic filter modules for trapping PM 2.5 micro-particles. This means that it actually cleans the air its driving through, and when it comes to replacements, you can simply remove them for manual washing or new ones altogether.
Based on the 2020 Zero DS, the DM-017 V2 E-Fighter is Droog Moto’s latest electric motorcycle, and it looks to be straight from a sci-fi movie. Its all-electric drivetrain generates 46 horsepower and 78 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to top out at 98 mph, thanks to a 7.2 kWh battery pack. When fully charged, you can travel up to 89-miles in the city or 45-miles at highway speeds. Aesthetically, the Zero DS was stripped of everything but the essentials before getting an entirely new body design.

Most electric motorcycles are designed to look like their petrol counterparts, which means most don’t really stand out, that is unless…you’re talking about designer Artem Smirnov’s PUNCH. It keeps things simple by building around a cylindrical body that looks perfect for the city. Most electric motorcycles on the market today are powered by rechargeable lithium ion batteries, though some early models used nickel-metal hydride batteries. We’re assuming this one draws power from the a lithium ion setup.

It would only make sense for Elon Musk’s Tesla to build an electric motorcycle, as they have dominated with their Model 3 / S / X and soon, the Cybertruck. What could the two-wheeled bike look like? Well, automotive designer James Gawley provides us with an idea. Rather than a traditional speedometer and gauges, this one would have a giant touchscreen in their place.
