Hyundai’s hybrid and electric range of cars is known as, known as the Ioniq. Under this brand, the Korean company has very different models which, however, are all inspired by their own design language. Is exactly this language that inspired the designer Ji Woong Cha in creating an electric two-wheeled vehicle, baptized Hyundai Ioniq Q. This futuristic motorcycle has a frame inspired by the letter Q of its name and as mentioned it has an electric motor that is powered by the central hole left for its large batteries.
Hyundai can boast of having one of the best electric and hybrid ranges on the market. There is no shortage of good finishes, or great ranges and everything that should shift attention compared to other combustion vehicles. However, what is missing in their electric family is a motorcycle.
Hyundai Ioniq Q, a bobber from the future
A “problem” that was solved thanks to a young South Korean designer named Ji Woong Cha. To make the Ioniq Q, he took the keys to the design of Ioniq vehicles and imagined a totally futuristic product that mixes sportiness and bobber style like no other.
Its shell is made up of a chassis that draws the letter Q, with rounded shapes in which the battery is integrated and leaving a hole in the middle. The rear swingarm is strategically positioned, so that when viewed from the side, the elusive letter Q is completely revealed. inverted suspension with too high a camber angle which makes it closer to a chopper than a sports model.
The floating seat helps to give this feeling, however the presence of pneumatici oversize Pirelli P Zero Bobber, we can understand that one thing is not in contrast with the other and that, moreover, a strong visual impact is obtained. There is no lack of other characteristic elements of the Ioniq language such as his headlight in the shape of a projector with vertical LEDs or the red U-shaped line that completes the rear light inserted inside the floating seat.
To guide it, South Korean design has provided a straight handlebar and rear footpegs which results in a somewhat uncomfortable but very sporty driving position, with the body projected forward.
Now it remains to be seen if Hyundai will bet on motorcycles from now on and if this certainly interesting model will hit the market.
