Black Shadow H-E Concept Motorcycle With Hydrogen-Electric System

Black Shadow H-E Concept Motorcycle was born out of the idea of combining classic motorcycle design with modern technology. The designer is an avid vintage motorcycle enthusiast, you probably can see that some vintage characteristics are brought into the design. The drawing process started during the first quarter of 2013, then the designer started to share his ideas and thoughts with colleagues to get criticisms and different opinions that enable this project to evolve into perfection.


This concept motorbike is incorporated with a hybrid engine to make it environmentally friendly. Remember the good ol’ days when leather jacket motor riders racing dangerously from café to café to prove themselves? Well, some inspiration of this project came from that simple rugged design of those motorbikes. The main goal here is to design and develop eco-friendly modern motorcycle with vintage style.

Just like its name suggests, the words H and E mean that this vehicle utilizes a hydrogen-electric system which is located inside conventional engine casing, it emits only hydrogen and oxygen from the exhaust. The carbon titanium composite for the frame creates a lightweight, ecological bike. Black Shadow H-E concept motorcycle runs on traditional alternator in order to keep the battery charged, at the same time, it offers a hydrogen powered combustion engine and when combined with air powers electric motor will further power the wheels and emit water. The system provides the engine enough power to reach a speed of more than 100mph. Staying true to its classical design principle, the upholstery is made from leather along with conventional brakes, wiring, and suspension.

FIAKER 2.0 Advanced Carriage by Michael Hofbauer

FIAKER 2.0 Advanced Carriage is the answer to the challenge of designing contemporary and ecological concept transportation that offers the typical feeling of a coach tour. This concept carriage combines the best of both world, traditional value with modern technology. Traditional coach tours are a big business in many cities around the world, thanks to tourists, or other special events such as birthdays and marriages. Horse-draw carriage tours have been long targeted by government because the cities have to deal with the amount of manure produced by those horses. It creates urban street pollution, during wet weather, the streets can turn into rivers of muck while during dry weather, the manure turns to dust, choking pedestrians and coating buildings.


Fiaker 2.0 Advanced Carriage is hoped to address 2 main topics here, instead of stopping the tours, why not creating an environmentally friendly transportation that still carries the traditional characteristic of horse-drawn carriage. This concept carriage is the solution of street pollution produced by coach tours in busy city streets, it catches horse manure as you can see from the images below.
