THE
EPOCH
THE MISSION :




How can a fully electric bike concept embrace the traditional presence and aggression of an internal combustion motorcycle?

Inspired by Barbara Motorcycles







INTERVIEW WITH KENNY CUMMINGS

Kenny, my former boss and mentor, is a master restorer, racer, and trusted voice in motorcycle culture.





What key details make a bike iconic?

Spoked wheels. Tube frames. Exposed engine. Aluminum rims. Skinny tires”



What gives a bike its soul?


“First off, the sound. The classic lines. The history...But vintage bikes have that meanness, the raw power.”










INITIAL DRAWINGS

Test 04

An iteration in a series of test bikes used to refine Epochs design before bringing it into production.

3D MODELING

I also used this project to learn polygonal modeling with Blender. I was looking to see if I could apply these skills to my industrial design work.
