Moto Undone concept motorcycle

By Amir Iliaifar September 29, 2011

No, you’re seeing it right, there is no photo-shop trickery going here, what you see is the Moto Undone concept by young designer and artist Joey Ruiter.

Essentially stripping down the traditional elements of a motorcycle, Ruiter’s design is as bare bones as it gets, which is a huge part of the appeal and inspiration for Ruiter, making the rider appear as if they are floating down the road on an invisible bike. Powering the bike is an electric motor and what’s more; ride data such as speed, distance traveled, etc is sent to the drivers smart phone.

The Moto Undone is very much a concept idea, so don’t expect to see, or not see, someone driving it down the road just yet.

The moments before a MotoGP race are tense and calculated.

Prayers are said, routines are followed, and rituals are performed as some of the best athletes in the world prepare to harness the freakishly powerful bikes that mere mortals can only dream of reigning in. The speed, G-forces, and strategies that go into this race are heavily influenced not just by the riders, but the bikes themselves -- and the technology that drips from every angle of their bespoke frames and bodies -- can be the deciding factor in who makes it to the podium.

Rivian R2 vs Hyundai Ioniq 5: Should you wait for the Rivian R2?

Rivian R2

Rivian has taken the wraps off of the Rivian R2, an electric SUV that's similar to the much-loved R1S, but smaller and, crucially, cheaper. But the R2 goes up against some serious competition. The likes of Hyundai have been building solid EVs for some time now -- including the Hyundai Ioniq 5.

The R2 and the Ioniq 5 each make a compelling case for themselves, and they're likely to end up being similarly priced if the Ioniq 5 doesn't get much cheaper and the R2 does end up being sold at $45,000. To be fair, the cars are pretty different -- the R2 is more of an SUV, while the Ioniq 5 is much more crossover-sized. But because of their similar price, you might be deciding between the two. How do they compare? We put the Rivian R2 and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 head-to-head.
Design
The differences between the Rivian R2 and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 are perhaps no more apparent than when it comes to design.
