The electric automotive industry is slowly seeing progression towards more accessibility and mainstream traction and one designer is contributing a concept for a Tesla motorbike that will help the eco-cause.
British designer, Jans Shaplins has been developing a theoretical electric motorcycle for Tesla. While the concept of electric motorcycles isn't new and Tesla already has the biggest footprint in the electric automotive industry, Shaplins wants to take the efficiency and effectiveness of the electric super-brand and expand its selection towards motorcycles.
The concept includes a 201 horsepower engine that uses a lithium-ion battery for power. There is also a storage space that is set to fit things as big as a laptop and helmet, along with other things the rider would carry.
