Motorcycle designs often marry innovation with functionality, even at the cost of conventional design, as they should. But when it comes to concepts, nothing is stopping outrageous designs.
Gurmukh Bhasin has introduced a game-changer that turns heads and sparks conversations. The CR-Dos – Ghost, a concept electric motorcycle, has taken the spotlight with its unique blend of transparency and cutting-edge design.
The standout feature of CR-Dos – Ghost lies in its transparent, plastic-like panels that wrap around the engine, allowing curious onlookers a mesmerizing peek into the heart of this electric beast. These panels not only serve as an aesthetic element but also act as a practical anti-heat protection sleeve, ensuring riders remain shielded from potential burns.
The inner workings of the custom cafe racer are illuminated by a series of curved, continuous wires reminiscent of electric ovens and grills, reports Designboom. As the engine roars to life, the motorcycle emanates an inviting orange glow, creating a visual spectacle that echoes the warmth of a portable heater.
The thin outer shell of the engine compartment, sloping downward and exuding an edgy form, bears a striking resemblance to custom computer or PC cases, further blurring the lines between technology and motorcycling.
Gurmukh Bhasin, the creative mind behind CR-Dos – Ghost, shared his inspiration for the design. “I originally designed the tire as a fun little test on an idea I had in my head. That design led to designing the wheel and eventually turned into creating the entire motorbike. I had fun celebrating the structural elements, playing with materials, and creating a complex layering of parts and shapes,” he told said
A symphony of design elements.
Beyond its transparent panels, CR-Dos – Ghost boasts a host of sleek design elements that contribute to its overall allure. The leather-covered-looking seating, reminiscent of a foldable deck chair, not only adds a touch of luxury but also provides comfort for the rider.
The elongated rear of the motorcycle accommodates a larger rear wheel, its tire concealed and covered for a streamlined appearance. The whirring and rotating of the seemingly red-colored motorcycle chain add a dynamic visual element as the rider takes the electric motorcycle for a spin.
Lighting further enhances the aesthetic appeal of CR-Dos – Ghost. A bold red glow emanates from the rear, signaling vehicles behind to halt, while cool-blue lighting projects its beam at the front, illuminating the path ahead. The carefully crafted lighting scheme adds an extra layer of sophistication to this conceptual masterpiece, hinting at the potential for a visual spectacle on the roads.
From concept to conversation starter.
While CR-Dos – Ghost remains a concept, Gurmukh Bhasin’s vision for an electric motorbike with transparent panels has already ignited imaginations. Bhasin’s intention to showcase the inner workings of the machine reflects a desire to celebrate the structural elements and push the boundaries of what a motorcycle can be.
Will motorcycles with visible internal components become a trend, blurring the lines between machinery and art? Can we have this for real, please? Only time will tell.
