This bike was designed by Mikhail Smolyanov for the LBM (Leo Brutal Motorcycle) workshop using bulletproof glass as its primary material. Named the Nu’Clear, this unusual two-wheeler looks like nothing you’ve ever seen before. A bulletproof glass isn’t only in the design elements, but it incorporates glass in the load-bearing parts too, like the hubs of each wheel. Sure, the motorcycle’s chassis is still made of meta, but this unusual combination of metal and glass allows the Nu’Clear to stand out rather wonderfully. Also, pay attention on transparent fuel tank on the top that’s filled with ethanol, which the Nu’Clear runs on.

The Nu’Clear was designed in the Atompunk style of the 50s and 60s, capturing in the potential futuristic aesthetic of the time. Sure, a glass motorcycle is futuristic by pretty much any standard, but the use of straight lines and mild fillets makes it look distinctly Atompunk.
Although Smolyanov mentions that the Nu’Clear has the potential to be an e-bike, for his own personal experimentation, the designer decided to outfit it with a boxer engine, which emerges from the two sides, sporting fins that also are reminiscent of batteries in a nuclear reactor (reinforcing the Nu’Clear name). What’s marvelous about this design direction, is the fact that it now sports a transparent fuel tank too, letting you see the fuel inside in a way that makes a fuel-ga...
