The Evergreen Electric Motorcycle is the Bare Bones of Style
Andrew Robichaud — July 8, 2009 — Autos
This space pod of a motorcycle is called the Evergreen. It is an electric motorcycle designed by Nick Fisher. It doesn't sport many features as far as the body goes, but no sane person can deny that it looks futuristic and sweet.
The two back wheels operate on electric motors that contribute, along with regenerative breaking, to propel the bike smoothly in a forward motion. It doesn’t seems as though it would be ideal for high risk driving situations (highways) but when you’re not using it, it does fold up and operate like a rolling suitcase.
