Motorcycle safety Visibility
-
As a motorcycle commuter I’ve learned visibility makes a huge difference in how many times I almost get ran over on a daily basis. I’m almost afraid how much even adding reflective tape would affect the aerodynamics of this, let alone the side markers similar to what I added on most of my bikes. I see this as an opportunity to go full futuristic tron style and incorporate LED strips into the car itself. down sides from front of the wheels to back of the car, and over the window arches since they’re tallest most visible part.

As a Multi Hundred Thousand Miles MotorCyclist, 60+ Years’ Bicyclist, Blah, Blah…
I am Moving Towards a Custom Wrap that is Nearly Obnoxious in its Visual Impact…
The Formula 1 “Red Bull” Livery is One Candidate. From Airplanes Of Yore, I might entertain Aerobatic/WWII Nose Art, and have the Front Wheel Fairings in Black/White Checkerboard…
I want any Jury to be Incredulous, If/When a Defendant states: “I didn’t See the APTERA”, as They so often have when trying to avoid responsibility for Their Driving Judgement Error(s).

As a 20 year motorcycle rider, I always went with a solid color. Camouflage tends to be broken up.

shhh, I’m just trying to get them to add a tron option under the guise of “safety” lol
Although I almost hate driving my suv due to not having the escape routes available on one of my bikes when I get cut off/brake checked

How about opting to have them wrap it in a bright color (yellow or orange) during the build process?

I once rented a car and after I took their optional insurance I turned to my girlfriend and said, this way I can return the car to them as a cube. They proceeded to give me a Mustang in the brightest most hideous shade of orange I’d ever seen.

There’s always Plasti-Dip Hi-Viz green or yellow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
How about custom striping, etc with Solas tape?
Or is this a solution presuming a problem?

If someone hits you in an aptera they would have hit you no matter what you were driving. My concern is that aptera will be too “visible” and be the cause of a crash due to people starring at it while on the highway. Here is a comparison between aptera and a tesla, a motorcycle is tiny in comparison.

Had a Friend who had His Porsche painted “Stone Grey” to avoid Notice…
East German Concrete Grey for You, Riley? or Asphalt Dark Grey?
Scientists have come up with a SUPER BLACK that absorbs almost all incident Light…

Riley, your stealth model ironically begins to look like a drop of crude oil. LOL. Here in Ohio I wouldn’t be able to get away with that dark a tint. I once got a $125 ticket from a local policeman who stopped me and slapped a “tint reading” device over my side windows. Ouch.

I mean it does look…(puts on sunglasses) *oil slick* YYEEAAAAAAHHHH!!!
