Synopsis

Fast. Silent. Radical. And wildly fun. The future of electric motorcycles and cars is looking bright. Cutting edge design and innovative batteries, instant acceleration and post fossil fuel energy are a green utopia within reach. The new wave of electric vehicles such as motorcycles, bicycles and hybrids, drives our way into sustainability whilst roads and highways are continuously being connected by charging networks, enhancing all the fun. This book is a modern guide to new mobility that is both admirable and inspiring. gestalten continues to actively reimagine the way in which we approach publishing with a focus on the aesthetic, particularly that of graphic design, culture, people or art.

Instant acceleration, no noise, no grease and no pollution. The Current features the most radical vehicles and pioneers of the electric revolution. The Current: New Wheels for the Post-Petrol Age explores this shift towards eco-friendly riding by profiling the pioneers in the field. Engineering and custom design, classic brands, and new projects, two or three wheelers but also cars: this book is the roadmap to driving now and driving differently. The future of mobility is electric – it could be our most thrilling ride yet!
