this new four-wheel motorcycle reveals its origins at the very second one looks at it — its smooth shape and color combination create this familiar bugatti mix. developed by designer romain gauvin, the black, white, and blue bugatti 100M concept features a capsule, in which the tech parts are enclosed, and the brand’s signature C-shaped line on its side.
for the convenience of the rider — who also hides in the covered cockpit when seated — gauvin’s bike has a holographic rare view monitor which streams from the camera located on the outer part of the body.
while bugatti’s vehicles are all fuel, the 100M concept is hybrid and features an electric drive and a battery located right under the seat and charged through a port set on the front. subtle lighting on the rear part and under the capsule make this bugatti even more futuristic, as if it could fly.

A four wheel motorcycle with a completely enclosed cabin? So a car then; not a motorcycle. How do you get your knee down in this thing? Nice conceptual Syd Mead type look but completely misses the point about motorcycling.
Although I love the fantasy and – its a bug whats not to like – what is this obsession with four wheeled ‘motorbikes’ and enclosed pods? Takes all the fun out. Plus I doubt if that could even corner 🙂 Design wise, the rear end is cute. The front?
It appears the training wheels come at a tremendous expense to the wallet and aesthetic.
Designs like this always mystify or seem to threaten motorcycle cultists and recreational riders, for whom motorcycling is a form of sado-masochistic thrill-seeking. Enclosed motorcycles (there is no actual stipulation that it has to have 2 wheels, but it should lean) are an old idea, and ideally suited to electric drive. As small, agile vehicles with a small frontal area compared to cars, they should be more efficient electric vehicles. Thsi concept is pretty, but style over substance. The wheels are unnecessarily huge, there are no mudguards, spats or anything else to improve the arodynamics. Presumably, the rider is in a prone position, rather than a comfortable semi-recumbent. Nice render, but I’ve seen it done better elsewhere.
