The future motorcycles not always must have futuristic design, and more advanced technology. Instead of motorcycles in the future should have an appropriate simple form. Because our Earth is getting old and getting weaker due to human pollution, it takes a true eco-friendly motorcycle is not like a hybrid one. Here we summarize five models of eco-futuristic motorcycles:
5. Campagna T-Rex 16S
Campagna
Motors (CM), a Canadian three-wheel vehicle specialist manufacturer has
launched a new model, T-Rex 16S. Can be called a mini car for carrying
two passengers, including the driver. Previously, T-Rex uses Kawasaki
and Harley-Davidson engine, but for this model using BMW engine.The new model of Campagna tricycle using 6-cylinder in-line engine with a capacity of 1.6 liters. Power output is 160 PS @7,750 rpm and torque of 175 Nm @5,250 rpm. Power is channeled to the rear wheels via a sequential 6-speed transmission.

4. BRP Can-Am Spyder RS-S
The
following sophisticated and futuristic motorcycles was include into
tricyle (3-wheeled bikes) categories, which are made by Canadian
motorcycles manufacturer companies, BRP (Bombardier Recreational
Products). BRP Can-Am has a pair of wheels in the front, and the overall
design resembles a snow vehicle. Although Can-Am was launched to
explore the urban streets.
BRP
Can-Am has a Fox Racing suspension suitable for ABS braking system. For
the comfort and balance, BRP Can-Am equipped with power steering and a
computerized control system. BRP Can-Am Spyder RS-S uses a Rotax V-Twin engine with a
capacity of 998 cc and capable of producing power of 106 hp. In Canada,
BRP Can-Am Spyder RS-S is sold at 17,193 Canadian dollars or Rp. 189 million.

Swiss
people was not only clever to process of chocolate and other cookies,
it turns out they also have a high passion in the automotive. Evidenced
by the presence MonoTracer, a motorcycle that manufactured by Peraves,
one of the Switzerland motorcycle manufacturer.
Their first product was called Ecomobile, a motorcycle with a cabin that made in 1982. And then followed by the inaugural edition of MonoTracer in 2007, finally born its hereinafter generation which were more environmentally friendly.
MonoTracer
MTE-150 uses electrical energy, has its drivetrain updated with AC
Propulsion's new 3rd generation 150 kW (200 horsepower) system. By using
the electric motor then the bike can be ridden until it reaches a
maximum speed of 150 kph or 93 mph (power load at top speed is less than
60kW (40%), and its 411.6V lithium-polymer traction battery capacity
enough to drive as far as 290 km (180 miles) @ speed of 121 kph or 75
mph (20kWhr of useable battery capacity). At first glance this
motorcycle looks like this a car that has a body made from carbon
fiber and kevlar monococque, making it lighter and aerodynamic.
2. RynoTheir first product was called Ecomobile, a motorcycle with a cabin that made in 1982. And then followed by the inaugural edition of MonoTracer in 2007, finally born its hereinafter generation which were more environmentally friendly.

Its controls and drive technique was done by geometrically, while the speed and brake set using the accelerometer and gyros. Motorcycle that has the futuristic design was launched commercially in 2013, with a price of about U.S. $ 4,500 or approximately Rp. 51 million. Ryno has a maximum speed of 40 kph (25 mph), and its lithium battery capacity enough to drive as far as 48 km (29,83 miles).
1. Uno

Uno III, an unicycle. (Picture from: http://green.autoblog.com/) |
In contrast to other single-wheeled bikes, actually the original Uno created by placing two closely spaced unaxial drive wheels side-by-side at the centre-point of the vehicle (dicycle) when running at low speed. At high speeds, then both wheels will stand in line like a conventional motorcycle.The Uno III is based on the original Uno with the addition of a third wheel that allows it to transform from a dicycle to a tricycle.
The original Uno is controlled in forward motion by the rider shifting weight over the centre of gravity. When the rider shifts forward, the vehicle speeds up to regain balance, when the rider leans back, the vehicle slows. Steering is controlled by side-to-side motion of the rider. The vehicle senses this shift and raises one of the two wheels to allow the vehicle to tilt in the desired turn direction.
