Imagining how the dimension of mobility will evolve over the next few years, a designer has (literally!) Put the wings of his imagination into the shape of this Husqvarna Devil S Concept. A fascinating vehicle, which seems to be inspired by the shape of a firefly.

Motorbikes? Usually more vulnerable
Most of the time, motorcycles are labeled as dangerous as they expose the rider's body to high-speed collision hazards in the event of an accident.
For their part, two-wheelers generally have a very open position that attracts the younger generation and adds an adrenaline rush.
How to reconcile the different needs? The designer Haochen (Wenson) Wei has designed a Husqvarna brand motorcycle with a very elegant and gritty character, which does not disdain safety.
Husqvarna, the story of a myth
The brand Husqvarna is a Swedish company that produces a wide range of outdoor power tools, including lawnmowers, chainsaws and leaf blowers. The company was founded in 1689 and has a long history of producing high-quality tools.
Husqvarna began selling motorcycles in 1903. At the time, the company was still very well known for its high-quality outdoor power tools and decided to enter the motorcycle market to capitalize on its brand awareness. The motorcycles were an immediate success and Husqvarna motorcycles soon became one of the leading motorcycle manufacturers in the world.
A vehicle that is ultimately very different from how a motorcycle is perceived, but without losing the charm and appeal of a motorcycle.
How the Husqvarna Devil S concept is made
The rider sits inside the motorcycle as one would normally do in a car and the doors open again providing a resemblance to the shape of a firefly. It's not just an aesthetic issue, however: these doors "hug" the driver in a cocoon of safety that is reassuring at high speeds.
In this way, the Husqvarna motorcycle maintains its “bad girl” look, perfect for the new generations.
Interiors of the Devil S Concept complement the rider's needs with all the telemetry and vital information displayed on the side panels at the front.
In the designer's intentions (and perhaps in those of the market) this Husqvarna and other motorcycles of the future will be at ease both on city asphalt and dirt roads. In four words: fast, furious, urban and safe.
What is he like in profile?
The side profile of the Devil S is truly devilish, with a very balanced aesthetic appeal. The rider sits very low as the seating position is protected by the frame.
Are airbags provided? I guess so. They have to. Okay. For me, this Husqvarna would be equally as appealing to a hardcore motorcyclist: you just need to get used to it.
This concept clearly expresses the opinions of its designer: one day there will no longer be any "open" motorcycles, or they will be a pure exception.
