Charles Bombardier's job is to let his imagination run wild. And then pen it down to create fanciful vehicle concepts. He is also the grandson of the founder of the Canadian jet manufacturer with the same name.

The Arrow is his idea for a commuter vehicle combining the fun of a motorcycle with the weather protection of a car. It is also eco-friendly because of an all electric mode. The driver and passenger will sit in this vehicle like a jet fighter, and power comes from a 30 kW dual synchronous motor driving the rear wheels supplied by a lithium/air battery that gives it a 370 mile range.

According to Bombardier, the cockpit area is based on existing structure available from a California company, which makes building a working prototype a feat not impossible to achieve.
