A designer created an excellent Tesla electric motorcycle concept that makes you wish the carmaker will enter the motorcycle market, which Elon Musk has stated will not happen.
Elon Musk was questioned by a Tesla shareholder in 2018 if the manufacturer will ever enter the electric motorcycle market, to which the CEO responded:
“I actually use to ride motorcycles when I was a kid. I was into dirt biking for like 8 years or something. Then I had a road bike until I was 17 when I was almost killed by a truck so we are not going to do motorcycles.”
It dashed Tesla's hopes of following Honda or BMW and having a hand in both automobiles and motorbikes, but it does not stop us from dreaming.

Elon Musk has transformed what we previously believed to be impossible. He has given the technology sector a new face through his brilliance. With his future vision and state-of-the-art electric vehicles, this man with golden hands has changed the EV business.
However, that is not all, as his brilliant and cutting-edge firm, Tesla, has hinted at a new addition to its family, a two-wheeler dubbed the Model M. Join us as we investigate the high-tech two-wheeled speed demon!
Probability of Musk Developing an Electric Motorcycle Elon Musk is credited with numerous accomplishments, including developing and expanding electric vehicles, expanding the frontiers of space, and revitalising and transforming the internet system.
Among his many accomplishments is reinventing the promises and components of automobiles. Elon has impacted and revolutionised every vehicle, whether it is an SUV, truck, or other category of automobile. However, for someone who has made such an effect in the area of electric cars, it's surprising that he has yet to venture into the motorbike industry.
As of 2019, the market for electric motorcycles and scooters was valued more than $30 billion. Lime and Bird are both companies that sell scutters, which range from huge motorbikes for highway driving to tiny stand-up scooters.
And over the following few years, the market is expected to expand at a rate greater than 4% each year, reaching $40 billion by 2026.
Additionally, growing public awareness of air pollution has resulted in increased government investment in EV charging infrastructure, and concerns about car emissions will all have an effect on demand for electric vehicles in the near future.
Additionally, battery technology continues to advance, increasing the likelihood of more electric motorcycles. It's no secret that Honda and Harley-Davidson, two of the most well-known motorcycle manufacturers, are developing electric motorcycles.

Tesla's Model M/Prototype Gawley's James Gawley, a design expert, sketched out the appearance of a Tesla-designed motorcycle using his design abilities. In 2015, James developed a mockup of what he imagined Tesla's motorcycle will look like.
The prototype combines elements of a regular motorbike and a two-ring sports motorcycle. Infused with Tesla's overall style, this prototype embodies all the brand stands for, providing it a competitive edge.
Additionally, Tesla's model M is shaped like a motorcycle and looks great. With a sleek aerodynamic design and all of the technologies Tesla has been testing, but on a larger scale.
The Model M's advantages and characteristics In a world of various options, change, and the attendant nuances that accompany technological advancement, some variables contribute to the earth's perpetual degeneration.
More akin to an auto-immune sickness, with the society's white blood cells devouring itself. Climate change, environmental degradation, and the cascading impacts of a regenerative genetic tragedy.
It is critical and imperative that we employ technology to rebuild society and restore health while retaining the beneficial characteristics of the previous technological revolution. This is where electric automobiles, and by extension, electric motorcycles, come into play.
The essential benefit of this revolutionary product, assuming it makes it to market, is a safe atmosphere. The planet would be considerably saved from the threat of environmental damage if fumes were not emitted into the atmosphere.
Instantaneous torque is another feature of the electric motorcycle. This is similar to the benefit of fully electric vehicles. An electric Tesla motorcycle is propelled by a strong motor capable of generating instantaneous power and delivering rapid acceleration.
Similarly, Tesla automobiles have such a short 0-60 time because their electric motors do not suffer from the power transfer loss that internal combustion engine vehicles do.

The Tesla model M is not only intended to be an electric alternative for motorcycle enthusiasts, but also to outperform traditional two-wheelers in terms of performance and speed. This should not be a difficult task for an electric motorcycle.
The type M would be devoid of rearview mirrors in favour of a camera. Musk is apparently already doing this with the Cybertruck. Riders will easily be able to see behind them with the assistance of rear-mounted cameras.
This would allow for seamless lane changes and reverses without physically turning around. Additionally, the rearview camera would fade in response to ambient light and would include anti-glare capability even in extremely bright settings.
Gawley developed an enticing concept based on Tesla's in-care user interface that combines this great aesthetic. And, given Tesla's unmatched ability to develop user interfaces, this thought is unsurprising.
Model M would have a touch-screen display and a user interface similar to those found on Tesla vehicles. The driver will operate the touch-screen panel from the front. Tesla's model M has a larger dashboard, which makes it an ideal match for the Tesla environment.
Indeed, Tesla produces cars that resemble computers on wheels, which is consistent with the company's ideology. The display is quite large, which makes us wonder whether it can display as much information as possible while keeping the motorcycle in shape to maintain maximum concealment.
The panel would include a day and night mode, allowing it to be used in extremely bright or dim light settings. Additionally, it incorporates a number of the qualities that have come to be associated with Tesla screens. Gawley describes the model M as a premium motorbike.
The top display touch-screen is the machine's most prominent feature. This screen is angled upward toward the rider, and it features both day and night settings. These modes are primarily intended to increase visibility without causing attention.

Additionally, it provides access to rich content at your fingertips and mobile connectivity, allowing you to listen to your favourite tunes or discover new eateries regardless of where you are. Simply described, the Model M is a two-wheeled version of Tesla's automobile.
This is because it includes the majority of the exciting features seen in Tesla's cars. Along with a hydraulic stand, zero-profile footpegs, a hidden charge for charging, full connection with Apple, and a smart air suspension, the model M would feature for the rider.
As such, low-profile footpegs make appropriate as part of the stream light aerodynamic design study. When the motorcycle is turned, the footpegs rotate out of position. And when not in use, the footpads retracted completely, obliterating all evidence of their presence.
Turn signal lights are attached on the back of these footpads in the concept. While you might not expect turn signals to be mounted on the backside of footpads, you'll agree with me that they look fantastic there.
By utilising the smart air suspension, it would also be able to reduce the motorcycle's height while increasing its frontal area, but this would not be the only benefit. Elon Musk's Model M Position As much as we admire the Tesla Motorcycle concept, it is quite unlikely that the electric magic will see the light of day until Elon receives a spiritual indication to proceed.
Haunted by his history, the software genius would never want to design a product identical to the one that came dangerously close to costing him his life. Musk was involved in a near-fatal motorcycle accident in his adolescence, which scared him so much that he avoided riding a bike.
This incident repeatedly scares the CEO away from two-wheelers, and his refusal to assent demonstrates that he would never want anyone to suffer as a result of his company's invention. Apart from its uncertain status, he believes the motorcycle is out of control and prone to horrific accidents. As a result, the Model M has been on the market for this long.
We hope, for the benefit of bike enthusiasts, that this fear is replaced by faith and that the CEO can give the production green light.
