Modern cabin motorcycle
This cabin motorcycle combines the best of both worlds: the thrill, manoeuvrability and compact footprint of a motorcycle, and the comfortable, streamlined cabin of a car with its accident and weather protection and excellent visibility due to not having to wear a helmet. Servo stabilisers, which deploy like the landing gear of an airplane, eliminate the need for the rider to place a foot on the ground when slowing to a stop. Manufacture of the vehicle by its Swiss inventor and designer Arnold Wagner began in 1982. A total of 185 vehicles were produced until 2016. The excellent aerodynamics and glider-like construction led to its winning the American X-Prize worth USD 2.5 million in 2010 as the world’s most efficient street-legal motorised vehicle. The latest emissions-free version boasting a 130 kW electric motor was launched by Peraves CZ A.S. in Brno, Czech Republic in 2017.
