This dragon-fly like motorcycle charges itself and needs no plug at all

The SOLARIS motorcycle, designed by MASK Architects, represents a groundbreaking concept in electric mobility by eliminating the need for external charging infrastructure. Unlike traditional electric motorcycles that depend on plugs and charging stations, SOLARIS is a self-charging vehicle powered by integrated photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electrical energy. Its innovative deployable mechanism increases the solar collection surface by up to 150% when stationary, enabling continuous energy capture and minimizing downtime typically required for recharging. This biomimetic design, inspired by the structure of a dragonfly’s wing, not only enhances solar efficiency but also links the vehicle aesthetically to natural forms. SOLARIS is particularly suited for regions lacking established fuel or electrical infrastructure, offering a practical mobility solution in remote or infrastructure-poor areas. Additionally, the self-sustaining power system reduces operational energy costs and mechanical complexity, potentially lowering maintenance needs and total ownership costs for commercial and fleet operators.
