Igor Chak is only 26 years old, but judging from this highly tecnological hybrid concept motorcycle based on the 1929 Soviet Izh–1, he’ll have an amazing future also in motorcycle design.

According Chak, the engine of his Izh-1 is a V-twin 849.40 ccm (51.83 cubic inches) that can generate 140 hp with 50% of the engine made from heat resistant and highly reinforced plastic. In addition to that, the engine has built in wiring and circuitry that reduces weight, damage to wires through corrosion and decay that will result in less faulty contacts and make diagnostics more precise.

The engine has an automatic smart fuel-regulating system to get the best mpg. In addition there is a brush less 60kw electric motor that is built in the rear rim, with a small 2 speed gearbox. The power to the electric motor comes from a Lithium Sulfide Battery (instead of Lithium ion batteries) located at the rear of the engine and the combination should give up to 80 mpg.
