An electric motorcycle for research in extreme conditions with electromagnetic suspension and superconducting levitation

An electric adventure motorcycle for travel and research expeditions in 2035 Antarctica with a dual objective: first, to offer great transit capabilities in complex landscapes; and, second, to allow researchers to travel autonomously over long distances without significant charging and maintenance restrictions.

One of the key areas of development is an advanced suspension system that provides radical innovations compared to traditional motorcycle solutions. This project considers the possibility of integrating electromagnetic suspension in combination with superconducting levitation, which significantly increases the suspension’s adaptability to different types of surfaces, reducing vibration, improving manoeuvrability, and providing a comfortable ride, even on icy or snowy surfaces.

The project, carried out in collaboration with Stark Future, thus offers a glimpse into the future of electric two-wheelers, where technologies provide maximum freedom of movement, research opportunities, and a unique experience of human interaction with the environment.
