Two motorbike concepts for riding on the Moon and Mars – Domus

How are we gonna move around on the Moon and Mars when Nasas and Elon Musks expedition will have established new space colonies? Why with a motorbike, of course! Thats at least the futuristic and appealing idea of two different designers, who came up with two concepts designs for two promising versions of a space-bike.Andrew Fabishevskiys electric LMV v1 bike is designed to be lightweight and easy to be transported as payload on a future Lunar mission.

The all-terrain wheels with pivoting suspensions would make it easier to drive around the Moons uneven terrain, while mylar foil protects the battery compartment and other components.

Simon Gryttens Mars rover-bike, instead, is not just a simple space cafe-racer: when plugged into its base station, the bike lifts up to use one of the wheels as a wind turbine, taking advantage of the many storms happening on the Red Planets surface.
