Škoda may be best known today for its practical cars and rally-bred performance, but the Czech automaker’s roots trace back to two wheels. Founded 130 years ago as a bicycle and motorcycle manufacturer, Škoda has now taken a nostalgic-yet-bold leap by unveiling the Slavia B, a striking café racer concept that reimagines one of its earliest machines for the modern era.

The concept pays homage to the original Slavia B, a motorised bicycle introduced in 1899 by founders Václav Laurin and Václav Klement. While the original featured a 240cc engine and minimal mechanics, the new Slavia B is a fully electric design study under Škoda’s “Modern Solid” initiative—a project exploring how to fuse legacy with futuristic aesthetics.

Heritage Meets Modern Minimalism

Created by French designer Romain Bucaille, the Slavia B stays true to its café racer roots with a solo saddle, deep-set handlebars, and a diamond-style frame. Yet it departs sharply with a forward-thinking design language: sharp edges, clean lines, and a distinctive lighting signature that allude to the future of urban mobility.

A subtle nod to the brand’s origins sits proudly on the front—a floating Laurin & Klement insignia suspended in negative space. The use of brown leather on the seat, grips, and a side-mounted vintage-style tool bag adds a layer of warmth and craftsmanship, contrasting beautifully with the concept’s minimalistic surfaces.

All Style, No Specs (Yet)

While the concept turns heads, it keeps secrets. Škoda has not revealed performance details—no motor specs, no range estimates, no wheel size or tech features. It’s clear the Slavia B is not yet headed for production, but rather serves as a stylistic statement: Škoda is capable—and possibly interested—in reentering the two-wheeled world.

The electric drivetrain replaces the original’s humble belt-driven 1.75-horsepower engine, and the focus now lies on urban design efficiency, stripping away all non-essential elements. The result is a concept that feels both vintage and visionary—ready for a modern cityscape, yet grounded in heritage.

A Glimpse Into a Two-Wheeled Future?

For now, the Slavia B remains a one-off concept, but it speaks volumes. It’s a brand flex, a heritage revival, and a possible market test balloon all rolled into one. Škoda hasn’t committed to a production model, but with global interest in electric motorcycles on the rise, the Slavia B may be more than just a pretty sketch.

Škoda has shown it can build fast, capable cars. The Slavia B shows it might still remember how to build beautiful motorcycles, too. The question now is whether this bold concept stays in the design studio or hits the road.
