Honda's electric motorcycle concept, the EV OUTLIER Concept, and its electric-motorcycle brand film 'What Is a Motorcycle?' both won 2026 Red Dot Design Awards. The concept uses in-wheel motors front and rear to propose what motorcycles could look like beyond 2030, while the film took the Brand and Communication Design category.

A concept packing in-wheel motors front and rear — reading the spec sheet, you can feel the design philosophy already looking past 2030. It says low, dynamic proportions, but I want to see how much that lowered center of gravity actually changes the ride feel once this reaches production, and I mean that with my pulse up.

Yamaha and Kawasaki will probably fire back with their own electric concepts soon.

Didn't realize the Red Dot Award carried that much prestige.

I like that they're framing this around what's coming after 2030.

Winning a design award and it actually reaching production are two different things.

Curious how in-wheel motors affect unsprung weight here.

Having the brand film itself win an award too is rare and genuinely exciting.
