Now you see it, now you don't: The mirrored motorcycle that almost disappears when it's moving

It's the ultimate in minimalism - a reflective aluminium box on wheels from futuristic designer Joey Ruiter.

Two years ago the Michigan-based inventor came up with the stripped bare bicycle named the Super Minimal City Bike, now he's turned to motorbikes.

Ruiter opted to strip the motorbike of all its trappings, no fancy artwork or gleaming chrome.

Instead he created a mirrored body which, when moving, practically vanishes from sight, almost giving the illusion of a man sitting and moving on his own.Called the Moto Undone it defies the aesthetic of two wheeled transportation.

But what's under the hood? It's a 1000W, 48V electric hub motor that gives it a range of 90 miles, which is about three hours of motorbikin'.

So...no rear brake and no way to cool the hot electronics? If anything, I think its a way to get as much attention as possible, not to make it disappear. I really don't understand how looking into a mirror makes it looks like it isn't there.
