The prototype created by Brudeli Tech is based on a KTM 625 SMC supermotard motorcycle. The 625L is intended both for on-road and off-road use and the Company's intention is to get it approved as street legal.

"It’s both about fun and safety. The vehicle is easier to control than a motorcycle. [...] The two wheels in front also provide a shorter brake length."

The design was created by Hareide Designmill, a Norwegian company lead by previous design director of Saab Automobiles Einar J. Hareide. The responsible designer for this project was senior designer Atle Stubberud.

In the off-road use, the 625L can be controlled like a dirt track race bike thanks to its stabilizing foot boards that stay parallel to the ground, while the rest of the vehicle including the two front wheels, lean over up to 45 degrees (configurable).

The front wheel mechanism and the connection to the foot boards are patent pending.

The vehicle consists of a lot of billet machined parts and other parts specially made for this vehicle. These have been designed by Brudeli Tech using 3D CAD tools and produced by local companies.

Brudeli 625L will only be produced on order. First deliveries are scheduled for 2007, at a price of € 20,000 excluding taxes.

Extensive information, including an image gallery, some videos of the 625L in action and technical specifications are available on Brudeli Tech's website.

About Brudeli Tech

The main creator of the 625L is Geir Brudeli, a mechanical engineer who founded his company in 2001 with visions of creating a new vehicle in the gap between motorcycles and small cars.

Late autumn 2001 this company was converted into a public limited company with Geir Brudeli and Kjetil Eide as major owners.

In the same period, the project also received its first recognition and support from the Government Consultative Office for Inventors, SVO.

This was later followed up by installation grants from The Norwegian Industrial and Regional Development Fund, SND.

The development of the Brudeli 625L started summer 2001. February 2003, the first full scale prototype was ready for test rides. The next evolution of the prototype was shorter, with a wider tilting angle and a unique design.

It was first unveiled at EICMA in Milano November 15th 2005.
