capable of withstanding harsh space conditions, was inspired by a digital design made by Russian artist Andrew Fabishevskiy in 2020. With the permission of the artist, Hookie co-founders Nico and Sylvia Müller set out to make a real-world prototype of the machine.
According to Niko Müller, not needing to pass Germany's strict motorcycle TUV technical inspection for their moon bike opened up the design process to a host of possibilities."No TUV means we were able to focus on simple functionality, materials, and the weight," he said."On our Tardigrade, we had the opportunity to work with brands like Dupont - Kevlar, and Cake together. Authenticity for every detail was the goal in the design process."The result is a moon motorcycle consisting of an invisible frame made of ten millimeter-thin, laser-cut aluminum and axles that were also made using ultra-light metal.
