Aprilia's Magnet project envisions a three-wheeled hybrid combining a motorcycle with an F1 car. The Magnet, which is configured in reverse of a Big Wheel's setup — two wheels in front and a single in the rear — uses a 550cc motorcycle engine, supplemented by an electromagnetic motor in each of its hubless wheels. It was designed for the Italian motorcycle maker by a Finnish design student. More pics follow.
