Yes, the Polestar CP1 electric motorcycle concept is just an “unofficial” art project – but that doesn’t make it any less incredible!
Polestar is going from strength to strength these days, posting profits in just its second year, building its 100,000th 2 electric sports sedan, and getting set to launch its first-ever mainstream SUVs this coming year, the compant is approaching real mass appeal. What’s more, the Swedish performance brand has already made an initial forayed into the two-wheeler market with a (sold out) top-shelf mountain bike and an association with Swedish e-bike brand, CAKE … so the idea of a Polestar-branded motorcycle may not be as crazy as it seems at first glance.
That’s the thinking behind Lukasw Wenzhöfer’s Polestar CP1 electric motorcycle concept, anyway, which combines Polestar styling cues – like the split four-spoke wheels, “Thor’s Hammer” LED headlights, and material choices that wouldn’t seem out of place on the original Polestar 1 hybrid supercar.
It’s a well thought-out design, too. “The focus of this design is on ergonomics and functionality,” writes Yanko Design’s Gaurav Sood, a transportation design expert. “So, those good looks are not merely for the eye candy factor, but rather for a defined shape that makes complete practical sense.”

Ergonomics is NOT its best. Hands are lower than the seat wich causes a unconfortable position to drive. 1 hour in it must be horrible. The cars seem good but this bike is naif. As if draw by a teenager.
I mean, there are plenty of sport bikes with clip-on bars. Saying it’s uncomfortable in the context of an hour of riding is like saying a GoldWing looks slow because it’s too heavy.
Entonces lo tuyo son los scooter
Pero es la verdad! Tengo un Vespa ahora!!
Spot on 😂great analogy 👌it depends what type of riding the bike is aimed at, which in this case looks like a sports/track orientation 😉
LOL! Thanks!! Compliments will get you a long way around here.
Interesting, proportions look good,square edges don’t usually make good streamlining but an f117 still flys…
