This graffiti-covered e-bike is designed to blend in with urban architecture! - Yanko Design

What do yous imagine when I say the word motorbike? A 2-wheeler, has a handlebar, a sinuously sleek form that brings to heed street racing and the overall feeling of existence a badass. That is the standard definition nosotros have all grown up with simply what is important is our estimation of the motorcycle. This interpretation is where imagination meets real life and designer Joey Ruiter'southward creation has brought us NOMOTO – a design that focuses on the urban environment rather than the automotive element to create this surprising e-bike!

The urban environment, when not looked at from drones is usually a wash of grey with walls filled with graffiti that doesn't always equal the Banksy level we imagine. Joey Ruiter took inspiration from this modern-24-hour interval world, making the motorbike pure transportation – an element that transports you and otherwise just blends into the neighborhood. Ruiter and his J.RUITER studio's philosophy is about "trying to button blueprint to the signal of non being at that place." This philosophy is the framework around which the bike actually acts equally a sheet for the graffiti, with its seats providing some street-side rest. While the geometric, bulky design is almost reminiscent to the Tesla Cybertruck in its minimal appeal, the purpose here is non to attract only to distract to the extent we don't even recognize it (although this is one time where nosotros truly will need a locating app to notice this hiding bike!) The motorbike is a fully functioning piece, with a unique push that makes the motorcycle rise, flip its seat out and basically converts from a stranded piece of furniture to urban transportation. Being an electrical bike, it is actually quite functional with defended space to store your belongings in the front end and dorsum 'baskets' created when the bike transforms. This design is actually an e-bike completely stripped down to the essentials – a rectangular shape with air vents and screws popping out, but there is an intrigue in this blueprint and it will exist displayed at the Moto MMXX show coming up on August 21, 2020.

"I wanted to create a piece that is museum-worthy that's completely unnoticeable and and then familiar, you're but going to walk past it," says the Michigan-based designer. As someone who looks at production blueprint on an everyday footing, I tin can safely say Joey has accomplished his aim. One thing's for sure, this design volition make me do a double-take someday I run into an abased graffiti-covered grey bench on the street!
