Ferrari’s Studio Has Set Aside Cars for a While and Is Now Working on an Electric Motorcycle Inspired by 1930s Design. The Model Features a Range of 100 km and a Price of CB 1000.

As a giant in the design world, the Pininfarina surname is well known in the car segment, whether for the creations of its founders alongside Ferrari with the F40, Dino, and Testarossa models, or for other brands. From the Italian studio that shares the same name, models like the Jaguar XJ-S, Mitsubishi Pajero, Peugeot 306 CC, and Fiat Coupé also emerged. However, now the legendary design house seeks to bring its magic to the world of electric motorcycles.

The Italian studio that developed Ferrari models dedicated itself to the traits of the PF40 electric motorcycle, a model inspired by 1930s design. This vehicle, featuring a retro-futuristic design, is developed by the Dutch company Eysing.

In its entirety, the electric motorcycle with a price of CB 1000 features a rounded headlight and an analog speedometer. Details that could not be excluded from a vehicle that appeals to the best vintage style.

Model Costs Over R$ 77 Thousand

Like vehicles of the past, the braking system features mechanical drum brakes on both the rear and front. However, the wheels of the electric motorcycle possess the modernity of lightweight alloys but are fitted with old-fashioned patterned tires.

In running order, ready for circulation, the electric motorcycle, created by the studio responsible for Ferrari models, weighs only 60 kg. Pre-orders for the Eysing PF40 are already open, with a reservation fee of 1000 euros.

However, the total price of the vehicle is 13,780 euros, equivalent to over R$ 77 thousand in direct conversion, meaning the new electric motorcycle costs more than a Honda CB 1000 R over there. In Europe, Honda’s naked bike is sold for 13,590 euros. In Brazil, this vehicle with Neo Sports Café style, which also combines classic lines with a minimalist design, starts at R$ 76,570.

Caloi’s Mobylette Also Gets an Electric Version

With a vision focused on sustainability, Caloi also announced last year the return of its Mobylette, but this time with an electric motor that can deliver a range of up to 30 km on a single charge.

For now, the vehicle, inspired by the 1980s model, is being sold through the company’s page on Mercado Livre. As for the price, the company is selling the electric Mobylette for just R$ 9,199.

The moped still features a classic style, bringing a brushless hub motor with a power of 350W. The model can be driven either by the classic pedaling or by a throttle integrated into the display. The model comes with a removable 36V and 10.4 Ah lithium-ion battery.

While cities spend fortunes patching potholes and tons of plastic become waste, the Netherlands transforms over 218,000 recycled cups into a modular bike path that can conceal drainage, cables, and pipes.

While communities suffer from water scarcity and the advancing desert, women in Morocco use nets high up in the mountains to trap fog droplets, fill reservoirs, and transport drinking water through more than 10 km of piping.

Changan and Chery promise mass production of solid-state batteries with 1,500 kilometers of range in 2027 while Tesla still uses lithium and Toyota only promises to deliver theirs in 2028.

Four robotic arms printed steel layer by layer in Amsterdam and created the world’s first 3D bridge, measuring 12.2 meters, with smart sensors and almost no material waste.

While many European countries still face pressure from expensive and unstable energy, the Czech Republic is preparing an $18 billion nuclear power plant to deliver steady electricity with technology from South Korea.

In France, an entire road disappears under up to four meters of water, reappears at low tide, and only allows passage when the ocean reveals the path to Noirmoutier.

With 300 tons and a journey of more than 800 km, a giant transformer leaves Minas Gerais, crosses roads in a special operation, and arrives in the interior of São Paulo to integrate the hidden structure that carries energy underground in Brazil.

Hospital building uses photocatalytic concrete with titanium dioxide to “devour” pollution from thousands of cars using only sunlight.
