Ian Galvin and Craig Mackiewicz are two students last year at CCS, the College for Creative Studies.

The basic idea of their project, create a medium-size roadster responding to current problems of urban travel: congestion in major cities and the depletion of fossil fuels.

The originality of this bike comes mainly design of its architecture: the frame, completely concealed, gives the impression of a motorcycle with the shell landed on the engine. The winks are many: Britten V1000, Confederate, but also other references with fewer links with the bike, as can be seen on board the trend (pictured in the remainder of the ticket).

Hopefully this leads to commercial exploitation.

The designer of the nucleus, Branko Lukic, said that bikes should not s'imiter each other, but should rather do things differently. His NUCLEUS is a "square against air" that looks like a block later, but the front has only blades to face the wind.

The bike is lowered on its fairing when it is parked and rises when you're ready to roll.

This is only a concept that will not fail to elicit reactions of all, motorcyclists or not, but it is interesting to note that the designer himself from classical architecture of a motorcycle heat by devising a configuration specific to a reciprocating engine.

Designers often grow as Lukic voluntarily traits of their ideas (which may be a stupid first) to take us outside our comfort zone, which has the merit of forcing us to think.

A video below shows the concept from other angles.
