The R RYZR EV connects to the driver like a second skin due to its wearable feature. Designed by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), this hybrid car-motorcycled electric vehicle comes with a special jacket that locks drivers into place before it turns on.
SAIC aims to provide a sublime EV experience for fashion-conscious drivers. The electric vehicle's jacket component, dubbed the RYZR Smart-JKT, is the key that connects the user to the vehicle when they are stationed in the driver's seat. The hybrid bike-car adapts the agility of a motorcycle with the reassuring stability of a four-wheeled car. The R RYZR EV cockpit is open-aired for a thrilling driving experience without sacrificing any security features.
