The INgSOC concept bike looks nothing like any bike you’ve ever seen before. What's different about this design (besides EVERYTHING) is that it intentionally tries to hide the motor inside.



First designed by Edward Kim, Benny Cemoli, and Stephan Mora, the bike was never intended to be made for the real world:
“It attempts to give a glimpse into the future of bicycle design and technology by choosing to let go of many aspects of practicality for the sake of expressing an idea,” he says.

“That effort will include involvement of engineering, testing of the ergonomics, structure and materials, safety features, cost concerns and many other considerations which can push this design towards a more practical state," he explains.

"The success of those efforts is yet to be measured, but regardless of the results, it's important not to underestimate the value of concept design, which essentially aims to innovate and allow the designers and consumers to dream outside of reality.”
They've since decided to expand by coming up with an experiment that involves building the frame using hybrid digital fabrication techniques. A prototype is also in the works.
