sci-fi meets electric cafe racer in real motors' latest two-wheeler, project : ARES
Briefly

A retro-looking motorcycle fitted with modern technology is how the new entrant Real Motors describes its first model, Project : ARES. An electric cafe racer inspired by sci-fi movies, the design of this two-wheeler suits neon-lit dark roads, imagining the rider's lurched-forward stance as they take on high-speed riding with a quiet engine roar, backed by its electric capabilities.
The eye-catching feature of the Real Motors Project : ARES is the curved, open body that hides the engine and batteries, yet remains visible depending on the passersby's position. The design includes an orange streak, printed text, and numbers in thick font styles, along with a single red lighting line at the rear.
Real Motors incorporates 'Electric Analogue' concept into Project : ARES, aiming to blend electric technology with classic design. This approach emphasizes subtle integration of technology with the cafe racer's retro style, maintaining simple controls and a vintage aesthetic.
Real Motors has engineering evaluation prototypes for Project : ARES, with development ongoing. The production model is expected in late 2025, targeting power comparable to 700-900cc ICE motorcycles, a sub-20,000 USD starting price, and production scale.
