SBIK_E


SBIK_E the electric superbike - sak_art design 2010_3

sak_art design part of Consulting Studio,
has used the power of electricity to create a potential
motorcycle developed around the Agni Motors electric powerplant.

TTXGP We found the new league during the Isle of Man TT 2009. On this occasion, many manufacturers have created new means with an electric motor with an approach truly "groundbreaking", which has stimulated us an idea: create a potential electrical superbile for road and competition of the future. Probably the near future of the world motorcycle riding and racing, will be marked from the street "zero emission", the only problem is the absence of the roar of the engines tradizionali.Il project is built around the unity of the Agni Motors with a layout that is born from the concept of agile vehicle, clean fun and inspired by the sea creatures. The front is marked by two lights / turn signals symmetrical outline the "eyes" of the creature. The game "white / black hull creates a sculptural mass, which intersects with the skeleton, the tubular frame, simultaneously creating the color scheme that characterizes the livery. In fact, the chassis, the innovative front fork and rear are painted in "dark red". The muzzle has a small but aggressive group and ends with a central optical adjustable windshield. The carbon fiber "cracked" covers the volume between the frame and the hull. Also covers a portion of the fake tank and tail. The central zone is strongly characterized by the union between the frame and its continuation towards the seat by a particular shock parallel to the frame. We also thought the livery of a racing version of SBIK_E possible, ready for the "eGrandPrix", dominated by an aggressive color green / white / black, with the big logo "E" in the face.

We Discovered the new electric championship (TTXGP) During the 2009 Isle of Man TT. On this occasion many constructors create new electric engine machines with a “pioneer” approach that gave us an idea: create an electric superbike for the road and the racing championship of the (near) future. Probably the future for the motorcycle racing will be the electric via, the only problem will be the absence of the classic engine “rumble”, that will be very unreal! Our project called SBIK_E , that we present in exclusive for UMC with these “earlier state” sketches, is developed around the Agni Motors electric unit: the motor has a speed of about 50 rpm for each volt. The maximum continuous current varies from about 80 amps at 12 volts to 160 amps at 60 volts. T he design layout direction evolved from the concept of a fun & zero carbon emission motorcycle and is inspired from the “sea creatures”. The front fairing strongly characterizes the motorcycle design: the two symmetric lights/direction indicators create the “eyes” of the creature. The “black/white” bodywork create an aerodynamic sculptured shape. The big tubular chassis is embedded in this shape like a “skeleton” and create the graphic colour concept of the SBIK_E . In fact the chassis, the front innovative fork and the rear swinging arm are in “dark red colour”. The nose is separate from the “shape”; this create the “mouth” a frontal air duct. The nose have an adjustable glass and an aggressive little central circle light. The carbon fibre with slits covered all the volumes between the chassis and the shape bodywork. The carbon fibre is already used in a portion of the “false-tank” and in the rear zone. The central zone of the bike is strongly characterized by the connection of the tubular chassis and its rear portion with a particular “mono” suspension system. We also create a “racing edition” ready for the next generation of motorsports the “eGrandPrix” in a very aggressive green/white/black colour, with the big “E” logo in the nose. The “SBIK_E” logo plays with the same “fonts” of our sak_art design logo.
