The Sun-Fueled MC 2 Motorcycle by Keegan McClain

— February 8, 2010 — Autos
The MC 2 is a solar powered, super fast bike designed by Keegan McClain. The MC 2 motorcycle, part of the Michelin Challenge Design 2010, was designed to be the most comfortable and fastest bike of the future.

The unique pivoting system of the MC 2 motorcycle allows the handle to be adjusted, this making it possible to accommodate riders of any size -- although the MC 2 is designed for two people only.

The MC 2 motorcycle has a thin film solar collector that powers the bike for a few extra miles. Keegan MacClain also believes the MC 2 can be recharged by any solar energy outlet.

According to Keegan, "this vehicle will change the way the world sees motorcycles."
