This bike wears a helmet too!

bold_00

Clearly given the perfect name, this motorbike concept by Camal Studio embodies the exact qualities it looks for in the person riding it. The BOLD motorbike comes from Italy based Camal Studio, in collaboration with Tacita (the technology partner) and Alcantara (providing the trims for BOLD’s seat). Made from top to bottom in Italy, the BOLD is a electric bike with 100 horsepower, capable of going from 0 to 100 in 2.9 seconds, and is powered by a 10 Kwh battery that can charge in half an hour.

However, we’re not really hear to talk about stats, but rather of the BOLD’s interesting design direction. The motorbike has one singular closed form that contributes significantly to its visual bulk, but the color separation, with the silver on top and matte black at the bottom, helps cut the visual mass, making the bike look speedy and streamlined. The most interesting design element is the bike’s visor, which unlike any bike we’ve seen before, extends all the way over the headlight and even below, creating a sort of protective shield around the front of the bike in a manner that makes it instantly iconic and memorable. Moreover, it looks like the bike is wearing a helmet of its own!

Designers: Camal Studio, Marco Marinò, Mattia Fausti & Riccardo Tenani.

BlackBerry confirms one BB7-based phone shipping later this year

BlackBerry Bold 9720 leak

BlackBerry may see BB10 as the future of the company, but it isn't breaking with the past quite yet. Thorsten Heins just told those at BlackBerry's annual shareholder meeting that there will be one BB7-based phone this year. While he didn't elaborate further, there's a good chance he's referring to the Bold 9720 that reportedly leaked just hours ago. Don't expect a wide resurgence of BB7 devices, however. Heins mentioned that BlackBerry won't have more than six devices on sale at a time, and most of those slots will be occupied by BB10 hardware.
