There are several car brands that also operate in the motorcycle realm: Honda, BMW, Suzuki and Peugeot are current purveyors of both two- and four-wheelers. But several others have dabbled historically, including Czech brand Škoda, part of the VW Group which also includes Ducati in its ranks. Škoda is now revisiting its biking roots with a new electric concept bike, the Slavia B, which has been designed in-house to pay homage to the 1899 production bike of the same name. The new concept is, of course, electric powered and the styling is said to reference sporting variants of the original machine as well as bits of Škoda’s “Modern Solid” design language soon to be seen on upcoming cars. As a concept there are no performance figures, there’s no pricing, and Škoda says it has no intention of building a production version, but it is interesting to see a major car company’s take on a two wheeler.
