The Sokudo is a concept Tesla-themed E-bike. Designed by Ash Thorp in collaboration with Carlos "colorsponge," this E-bike marks the designer's 14th project in the ongoing M.H.C. Collection by the duo.
The E-bike's components are mated to a compact USD fork and single swing arm, a custom-made extruded chassis, which includes a battery pack, and an electric motor. The arm matches the form and frame of the bike to create a flowing design throughout. The Sokudo is held up with large carbon fiber wheels, which include Tesla-themed disc covers. For a smooth ride, the suspension and control arm moves independently. Its futuristic concept boasts a flexible outer shell that folds to different shapes according to the riding position and road conditions.
