A virtual concept of the first potential motorcycle from electric car manufacturer Tesla has emerged. Dubbed the Model M, it’s the work of independent designer Jans Slapins from London.
Slapins hints that the vehicle could be called the Model M, naturally M being for motorcycle. The machine in question would be powered by a 204 PS (150 kW) electric motor, and Slapins envisages that the bike could be driven by four computer-controlled modes – Race, Cruise, Standard, and Eco.
The Model M concept utilises the fuel-tank location as a storage space. There is thus the potential to carry a full-face helmet in this section of the vehicle.
It would be an entirely natural move for California-based Tesla to produce an electric motorcycle, broadening the scope of the company and attracting a wide range of new fans.
