White Motorcycle Concepts (WMC) is making a splash in the motorcycle world again! In 2021, they unveiled the WMC250EV land speed record bike, a bike with a large hole in the middle of the body for 70% less drag compared to other road bikes.
They have also used this technology in the hybrid WMC300FR three-wheeler, which is based on the Yamaha Tricity and is also used by the Northamptonshire Police. That's not all—they have also collaborated with Zero, an American electric motorcycle brand, to create a one-off SR/S concept.
According to Robert White, Founder of WMC:
"The duct concept is for more efficient performance, regardless of fuel source. With this collaboration, we have shown how it can be functional and stylish for future motorcycles."
On March 6, at the 95th anniversary of Pininfarina, the design sketches of a new hybrid motorcycle—an upright naked roadsterwith a small forced induction engineand hybrid system were officially unveiled.
With its unique aerodynamic duct system, air flows from under the handlebars out under the seat, to reduce drag and increase fuel efficiency
Pininfarina, a famous design house that has been a partner of Ferrari since 1951, has a wind tunnel for studying the aerodynamics and thermal comfort of motorcycles.
