Peter Norris, who recently designed the Pininfarina Coupe Concept, has also been hard at work on this electric motorcycle concept called the Honda Chopper. The Star Wars-inspired design has an extra long front suspension, a feet-forward seating position, and in-wheel electric motors for super-efficient (and fast!) travel.
Electric in-wheel motors not only help improve the efficiency of this bike; they also lower the center of gravity, improving handling and performance. We can’t wait to see if Honda will actually bring this green bike to market. It’s not out of the question, since the forward-thinking automaker spends heavily on R&D for new and efficient technologies. Click through our photo gallery to ogle the concept while you wait.

Looks more like a white version of the bike from “Akira”
Um…not Star Wars, or Akira. This is clearly a copy of Cloud’s Fenrir
I thought that it was a cordless drill at first….
@lazyreader – lol, thats the first thing that came to my mind too, it looks like Kaneda’s bike just in white.

the bike is clearly from Tron, not star wars.
Nah, Kaneda’s motorcycle is lower to the ground, much smoother, and doesn’t have the pseudo-exhaust on the back.
