Tesla Bike.

No engine to hide behind.

A combustion motorcycle is organised around a lump of hot metal in the middle, and most of the design language of the last century — the tank, the fins, the shape of the frame — exists to sit around it. Take the engine away and that whole grammar is up for grabs.

This concept keeps a classic naked-bike stance but rebuilds the centre. The visual mass is the battery pack, carried low and shown openly, with a tubular trellis frame wrapped over and around it rather than hiding it in bodywork. Upside-down forks, a single floating seat unit, a light-bar headlight and a slim LED tail keep the rest minimal, so the eye goes to the structure and the pack.

The livery is Tesla’s — the wordmark on the pack flank, the red-and-black studio treatment — testing how that brand’s restraint reads on two wheels rather than four.

Rhino to render.

The bike was modelled in Rhino — hard-surface bodywork, tube frame and mechanical detail — and taken to final image in KeyShot and Light Tracer Render. The study sheet below shows the wireframe and the orthographic views the surfacing was built against.
