Project M³ designed by Richard Huang is a concept motorbike with biomimicry as its core design principle. It visualizes biological characteristics in a tangible form, maximizing the integration between the rider and the vehicle to enhance the experience and enjoyment of riding.

In the movie Avatar, the Na’vi ride on animals using a neural interface called “queue” or “bond.” This connection allows them to communicate and establish a bond with specific animals, enabling them to ride and control them.

By designing vehicles that evoke similar emotions and create a bond between humans and machines, the user experience can be enhanced.Shape-Memory alloy can be used to adjust the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle’s body. During high-speed driving, the body can become more compact and streamlined, reducing air resistance. During low-speed driving, it can expand to provide better stability.

During low-speed driving, the vehicle’s lights will slowly flicker like a quiet and slow heartbeat. As the speed increases, the rhythm and color of the light flickering will change, resembling an accelerated heartbeat.

This design not only adds a sense of dynamism to the vehicle but also enhances its visibility during nighttime, making it more recognizable.Shape-shifting shell: With changes in vehicle speed or environmental conditions, the body undergoes corresponding deformations, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency.

The basic shape of this two-wheeler is inspired by one of the smartest and most fascinating creatures on our planet: the Delfino. In summary? Project M³ it’s not just a motorbike, but a vision of the future in which no journey is anymore a simple journey, but an experience. More: almost a dialogue, a dance.
