AKIRA’S NEMESIS: “THE BMW ELECTRIC TRIKE-CAR-BMW i1″
July 27, 2011
BMW will not only take over the car market, they will swallow (pause ya’ll) the motorcycle industry. Hey Triking enthusiast, BMW is on the verge of cornering you guys like a Mormon in a supermarket. Akira is sweating bullets right now, too many challengers coming out the woodworks.
The BMW i1 is an electric, single-seater concept by designer Amadou Ba Ndiaye that fuses motorcycle thrill with the safety of a car into one eye-catching concept. Three electric motors independently power each wheel while a computer calibrated hydraulic system controls wheel tilt and lean to safely maintain a street bike feel. A reinforced carbon fiber chassis protects the precious cargo inside.
