Romain Bukell, designed by Skoda’s in-house external designer
At first glance, seeing a concept bike from Skoda may seem unexpected. However, for those who do not know this, the Czech car manufacturer actually began his journey with a motorcycle and bicycle, originally produced under the Laurin and Clement Badge. With Slavia B concept, the brand aims to revive that heritage, a new series under the Lauren and Clement Micer has been introduced, which re -combines its reputed vehicles with a modern twist. While these rearfactor concepts are going to persist, they serve as an attractive tribute to the two-wheeler origin of Skoda.
About 1899 Slavia B
The modern interpretation draws its offspring from the original Slavia B, which was launched in 1899. The motorcycle was a thin machine and a 240cc air-cooled engine produced 1.75hp, able to reach a top speed of 40kph. Interestingly, it had no gearbox; Instead, the electricity was given directly through a flat belt attached to the engine. As the ideal at that time, the paddle was included for starting and supporting auxiliary propulsion. A total of 540 units of Slavia B were produced.
About Lawrin and Clement Slavia B concept
The Slavia B concept was developed by a French designer Romain Bukell, which usually works on the external design for Skoda’s cars. Regardless of its electrical vision, the concept retains the silhouette of the early lorin and cleans motorcycle, especially specific frames that take a lower dip than the rest of the structure.
While the original Slavia B placed its engine within this frame, the concept of the bouquet leaves this place empty, instead is the characteristic of a modern modern re -renewal of the Laurin and Clement logo. The next end of the concept pays homage to Veclav Lawrin, which was known to design motorcycles with extraordinary stability and handling.
Although this concept will never enter the chain production, it is interesting to see the manufacturers going down unusual roads to come up with such one-closed concepts that give their heritage models a modern interpretation.
