Design Studio Recreates Motorcycle from Akira, Will Sell Limited Edition Versions
Bel y Bel is working on an electric version of Kaneda's ride
Barcelona-based Bel y Bel is a design/build studio that typically repurposes vehicle parts into furniture. However, founders Carles Bel and Jesús Bel (who are actually not brothers, but buddies who met at art school) apparently have mechanical chops as well. For the past year, the duo have been prototyping a recreation of Kaneda's iconic motorcycle from Akira, using a 250cc Yamaha engine driving the rear wheel and an electric motor driving the front wheel:
The duo built two versions for a client. Incredibly, they now say they're working on an all-electric version that they intend to produce, this year, in a limited edition run. The asking price is €20,000 (USD $21,783).

Those toggle switches look pretty dangerously located for someone's manhood in a frontal collision scenario (or even under hard braking). But it looks cool!
