Artist Heqi Wang has come up with a unique solution to this problem.

Meet the Railway Motorcycle:

The bikes design is fantastically futuristic.

It’s free, every week, in your inbox.

This weird-looking motorcycle can ride on roads AND rail tracks

In railway mode, the side sliding panels move to latch on the rails.

Plus, its bright orange color helps it stand out in dimly-lit underground railways.

In road mode, the rider simply needs to move the sliding panels back to their upwards position.

To maintain balance during sharp turns at high speeds, the bikes electric motor is placed at its center.

Fingers crossed itll someday reach production.
