Locked away in this two-wheeler are the roots of the Czech automaker. Today&#8217;s Skoda began as a manufacturer of bicycles and motorcycles under the name Laurin &amp; Klement. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"846\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-28595\" src=\"https:\/\/motorrai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Skoda-Slavia-B-4-1140x846.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2>Skoda design<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"366\" data-end=\"743\">The futuristic motorcycle concept Slavia B was developed by French designer Romain Bucaille. Who works at \u0160koda Design. &#8220;I wanted to do something unique and go back to the origins of the brand. I work on cars every day. Since I also love motorcycles, creating one was really a refreshing change,&#8221; Romain says.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"366\" data-end=\"743\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-28594\" src=\"https:\/\/motorrai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Skoda-Slavia-B-3-1140x641.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"366\" data-end=\"743\">Futuristic remake of Slavia B<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"416\">For this remake, Romain took a futuristic approach, totally focused on the 21st century and thus including electric drive. Yet historical designs were used, such as the distinctive frame shape of the early Laurin &amp; Klement motorcycles. &#8220;It had a very distinctive shape &#8211; the frame ran around the engine,&#8221; explains Romain.  <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"416\">Race Paris to Berlin<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"416\">The futuristic Slavia B also refers to the sporting heritage of the original model. Factory rider Narcis Podsedn\u00ed\u010dek was the only competitor on a motorcycle to complete the leaden race from Paris to Berlin in 1901. He did so on a Slavia B.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"416\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"676\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-28592\" src=\"https:\/\/motorrai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Skoda-Slavia-B-1-1140x676.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"416\">Vintage details<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"416\">&#8220;I wanted to reflect those sporty qualities in my design. The saddle is shaped so that it seems to float, separate from the bike&#8217;s frame,&#8221; explains Romain. &#8220;I also added a vintage detail in the form of a leather tool bag integrated into the frame &#8211; an essential item in long-distance racing at the time.&#8221; <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"416\">Slavia B anno 1899<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"416\">The Slavia B was presented to the public in 1899, along with the Slavia A. It was powered by a 240 cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine with a power output of 1.75 hp and a top speed of 40 km\/h. The motorcycle had no gearbox &#8211; propulsion was via a flat belt connected directly to the engine. Pedals were also present, which served for starting and as additional drive. A chain was used for power transmission. Between 1899 and 1904, Laurin &amp; Klement produced 540 examples of the Slavia B.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To answer right away: it will remain a study.
