Hyundai Aebulle is a very interesting concept designed especially for the Los Angeles region, where commuter lanes would be use allowing the passengers of the Aebulle to make a quick commute. The European Peacock Butterfly cocoon has inspired Shane Baxley, the designer , when he created the concept. In Korean Aebulle means cocoon.

The designer aimed to make a motorcycle while offering the safety a cocoon offers a butterfly. The suspension acts in such a manner to the Dodge Tomahawk as it leans in turns. The front wheels are on separate independent swing arms which make this leaning possible. The Aebulle consists of an aluminum oxynitride glass that acts as the frontal cockpit area as well as a magnesium frame which wraps around the driver.

This glass has a built-in E-ink that allows a new way of helping the user control over GPS, radio and other functions. Users can modify these controls to meet their individual needs. The seating position is fixed inside the Aebulle so that brake pedals and the gas hang from the steering column and adjust to the driver’s position. The center steering column lifts upward with the glass cockpit in order to provide users room for entry upon entering and exiting the vehicle. Aebulle is powered by lithium batteries stored in the floor board of the vehicle which power small electric motors inside each wheel. The concept follows Hyundai’s strategy with the Genesis by not making their logo apparent on the exterior of the vehicle but present on the center of the steering wheel.
