DA Voltra3

Sketches by Dan Anderson (c)2009

The design process of the OMX bike should start with a list of contemporary motorcycle designers as well as a kind of "mood board" of images that might help us define what we are looking for.

Designers we like[]

Australia:[]

Dan Anderson of Sydney, Australia has designed a bike called the Voltra. Not only does it look good but it has some very interesting ideas. Including a naked swingarm and the way he uses the battery pack and motor case as stressed, structural elements.

Spain:[]

David Sánchez of Bott Power in Valencia

Pablo González de Chaves of Chaves Garages has a nice looking TTXGP skech on his blog

USA[]

Michael Czysz in Portland, Oregon. Design engineer of the E1PC which probably would have won the TTXGP 2009* if he had had an extra week of testing.
