Flying hover motorcycle
LEGO provides inspiration for everyone from preschool-aged future engineers to BMW designers. Recently, BMW and LEGO collaborated on the LEGO Technic BMW R 1200 GS Adventure model kit based on a BMW motorcycle. Now, designers from the two companies took inspiration from the Technic kit to bring to life the Hover Ride Design Concept – a flying hover motorcycle that looks like something straight out of the future.
The hovering vehicle probably won’t hit markets anytime soon. In a press release BMW described the Hover Ride as a futuristic concept “full of emotion and creative energy though not laying claim to technological plausibility.” Combining BMW and LEGO design elements, designers from both companies created the concept with the help of a BMW training unit that gives trainees opportunities to work across departments on different projects. They built the life-size model of the Hover Ride, complete with a propeller.
