Whether its been modified for land speed records or Pikes Peak, Zero Motorcycle owners love to tweak their electric-two wheelers. The latest addition to the modified Zero Motorcycle crew was done by “Bruno” Bruce Gallardo, who brought his concept from sketch to reality, reports InsideEVs. It’s a major departure from any of Zero’s production models, especially moving the rear suspension linkage closer towards the battery, giving the seat a “floating” effect. It has a very cyberpunk feel to it, like something out of Blade Runner or Deus Ex with its exposed battery packs and see-through flarings. It’s a far more attractive look for the Zero than the uber-aerodynamics Terry Hershner strapped to his cross-country bike, though it’s worth wondering how much functionality was sacrificed for this awesome look. Gallardo’s designs aren’t just limited to motorcycles either, as he has some cool takes on the 2020 Ford F-150, as well as a hybrid Citroen and ultralight Honda from 2025. Electric vehicles like the Zero and Tesla Model S offer designers new opportunities in design. Once electric cars become more in vogue, who knows what other futuristic, cyberpunkish designs might be born?

Here’s the latest – remarkable work by designer Bruno Gallardo. Now, this isn’t just some work of a designer’s dreams. According to the Hollywood Electrics Facebook page, it has been built: Hope you’re rolling on something amazing this year, like this concept Zero Motorcycles designed by Bruno Gallardo & made operational in the Hollywood Electrics workshop of dreams! We knew those guys had talent, but this is over the top. Here are some of the early concept shots, on to what appear to be final studio shots (complete with ripped background paper – either sloppy photography, or a brilliant effort to make a rendering seem real. Inquiring minds want to know.) [images] …working the sketches One of the final designs The final bike? Rear/side view, showing rear suspension links (and ripped background paper) One of the most intriguing features, visible above, is the rear suspension linkage using the shock assembly tucked up under the “tank”.
