After reporting last week on the closing stages of the Mo2or design compeition and project here is the winner. Simply called No.1 it is a cafe racer by Arnau Sanjuan and Mo2or describes it as the world’s first crowdsourced motorcycle. They still need your help though, in developing the frame, chassis and engine components so there is plenty to still get involved in and this is one where motorcycle engineers can finally step up to the mark.

Mo2or is running a forum to follow the design and keep the debate open on how to develop the first Mo2or No.1. The model will go into pre-development stage and so far the specs are as follows:

- 883CC Air Cooled, Fuel Injected V-Twin
- Steel Trellis Frame with an adjustable sub-frame & double sided swingarm
- Fully adjustable upside down front forks + Rear Mono Shock
- Fully adjustable Rear-sets + Clip on Handlebars
- Analogue Speed & tacho

If you’re a budding motorcycle designer, or you’re just fed up with the same old designs from the same old companies, you might want to head over to Mo2or to see what’s going on at Steve Pritchard’s start up company. With experience working in digital marketing for brands like Triumph, Mazda, Ford and Jaguar, Pritchard seems serious about his ambitions to develope the world’s first collaborative motorcycle design.

We gather that this viral project isn’t just a nice thing to have on your Facebook page, as the Mo2or site claims that the winner of its design competition will see their bike go into production. We’re a little late on this one as the competition ends tomorrow, but the entries are open to votes so head on over and check out what’s been put forward so far.

This is only the first step in an ambitious project from Mo2or whose aim is to set up production and dealership franchises with investment going back into new projects. The heart of it all though, is the feedback of customers and users themselves. The Mo2or site says:

Welcome to MO2OR a unique British Motorcycle company that aims to develop the World’s first crowdsourced motorbike. Our design a motorbike competition ends on 26th August, and the winner will go into full production. Check out the latest designs and vote for your favourite. We will be developing a wide range of motorbikes as the company develops as well as pushing technology based on rider input, through our forum.
