Voltra with minimalist chassis from Australia



When people create and test an electric-powered motor sport, not many people who think that the fuel tank is redundant. the reason, it is definitely an electric bike does not need liquid fuels. If, however, until there is no fuel tank, it feels like not stylish.

However, Dan Anderson who worked as an industrial designer at Tiller Design, Sydney, Australia, making an electric motor sport design concept without a tank, which remains as stylish as the tank is still there. The solution is to create such a framework that resembles a tank and striking orange color so that people realize that there is a fuel tank.

Other designs are equally as interesting, the chassis is very minimal. Actually, it combines the fuel tank frame with a rear skid. Then he put it with the body panels intact (monocoque) made
​​of carbon fiber with the battery chamber, the electric propulsion, until the levers front and rear wheels. In this way, the motor becomes very light.

Meanwhile, the space between the rear tires under the seat becomes more widespread so that mono-shock can move hinggai 15 cm upwards and downwards.

Overall design to be sporty and something like Ducati, (whether similar types of 998 due to nosedive or other models), Anderson might be inspired by his father, a former motorcycle racer of the 1980s and had a collection of Ducati.

Voltra also be approximated able to go up to 200 miles per hour. Anderson said, that figure is in conformity with the application of technologies that exist today.
