High Speed Motorcycle: No Helmet Needed

Futuristic Motorcycle, Crossbow, phil pauley
Crossbow motorcycle is a hundred percent electric motorcycle that doesn’t require a rider to wear a helmet. Phil Paulev has designed an extreme all-weather next level safety motorbike with a canopy cover. This shield-like canopy cover protects a rider from any kind or danger still leaving freedom to provide control at low speeds.

This Crossbow motorcycle looks sharp and provides aerodynamics for high speed performance. The canopy comes with a windscreen wiper for the rainy days.

    So why wouldn’t you need to wear a helmet when riding this? You high side this thing and smash your head on the inside of the canopy… And with that canopy down, it looks really tight; so tight you can only lay flat on the tank when driving. Perhaps it drives with the canopy up? But then then it’s like a sail, and you can fall off the back, or side. Only a fool would even consider riding this thing without a helmet (it’s like driving a car without airbags or seat belts, but worse). This device was designed by people that don’t actually ride motorcycles. It must be the case because I’ve put 50,000 miles on bikes in the last 4 years and I can think of several cases where this thing would have made situations worse. Good job on making designers look out of touch with reality. I guess you’re one of those designers that just makes things look pretty. Oh, and don’t try an play it off like it would be better for aerodynamics, because the wind screens on modern bikes create a low pressure bubble at highway speeds (ever see a sport bike riders t-shirt fluttering up their back? Yeah, that’s a low pressure zone).

    The guy that designed this, is not a biker or he’s know the constraints of that design. As well as the comment below, I’d also add that you need to sit up often, otherwise the pain from straining your back becomes to much. You also can’t filter (lane split) effectively in a prone position.

    In the unfortunate event of an accident, your gonna go straight through that canopy, probably slice you up quite nicely too.

    Also, the canopy just makes for a convenient place to put a parking ticket!
