[NonObject](http://www.nonobject.com/nUCLEUS) believes that a new breed of alternative fuel vehicles deserves a new level of experience. They pondered, "Why do motorcycles mimic each other's DNA or mirror ferocious animals from the wild?" They wanted a unique motorcycle design that is off the beaten path.

Their concept, currently in development, is the â€œnUCLEUS," a motorcycle built on the antagonistic principle of â€œsquare against airâ€. It is a Zero Impact Speed machine that features [Zero Emission](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-solaris), Ultra Light materials, and Integrated Behavior System.

Despite its unusual appearance and apparent opposition to aerodynamic design, NonObject claim that nUCLEUS will be nimble and fast.

"The square side-view hides the fact that these pieces of metal are simply blades from the front â€“ fierce blades that cut through air," the company sais. "nUCLEUS also boasts a thin comfortable saddle and horse-like behavior system - a new way to connect with your vehicle: it gets up on its hind legs (in action) and rests down squarely (while locked, at rest)."
