SUPERMOTO was presented at the john von Neumann University

Date: 2022.10.03
Project participants included students and teachers from the Vehicle Design programme of the Design Institute of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, and from the Department of Innovative Vehicles and Materials of the GAMF Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science of the John von Neumann University.

The motorcycle, developed under the ProjectSupermoto concept, was designed for both the street and for the road.  

Unique in both technology and form, it was presented on 3 October 2022 at the campus of John von Neumann University. The ceremonial unveiling of the vehicle resulting from the collaborative engineering and product design work of the project participants took place accompanied by a performance of the Kecskemét City Ballet. 

The fully electric-powered motorbike represents the first, definitive milestone in the collaboration and professional relationship between MOME and the John von Neumann University. The key objective of the project was to coordinate the engineering and product design processes and to provide students with hands-on experience in close collaboration between the two fields. 

President of JVNU’s Foundation Norbert Csizmadia underlined the exemplary nature of the initiative in his speech delivered at the event. “It demonstrates that following the joint decision of the two universities and through their joint action and close collaboration, it was possible to create something truly groundbreaking in just a year.” He also highlighted sustainability, the underlying principle behind the motorbike’s development, pointing out how the project represented the first step in the creation of a shared education platform. 

In his speech, President of the Foundation for Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Gergely Böszörményi-Nagy stressed the following: “Today and this moment is the very beginning of this journey. We have very intense weeks and months ahead of us to put this motorbike and our upcoming collaborative projects on the track to commercialisation.” 

At the conclusion of the event, the members of the engineering and design teams behind Supermoto were called to the stage to describe how they, together, were able to create a vehicle promoting green mobility and with the potential to go from concept to marketable product. 

The main sponsor of Project Supermoto is the Pallas Athene Domus Meriti Foundation.

Hazai és külföldi designmárkák stratégái, kortárs művészeti galériák munkatársai, a társadalmi integrációt elősegítő nonprofit projektek vezetői vagy éppen doktorált kutatók és egyetemi oktatók – ők mind a MOME menedzserképzésének az egykori hallgatói. A szakmai teljesítmények között szerepel a Velencei Biennálé Magyar Pavilonjának a kurátori munkája, Beton.Hofi új klipjének a produceri feladatköre vagy éppen OIEE (Kocsis Bence) multimédia-sikertörténete. A Moholy-Nagy Művészeti Egyetem (MOME) átfogó menedzserképzése, amelyben egyesül a gazdasági és a művészeti tudás, a kreatív és az üzleti szemlélet, idén negyven-, a két évvel ezelőtt angol nyelvű képzéssé vált Design- és művészetmenedzsment MA program pedig tizenöt éves évfordulóját ünnepli. A jubileumi évet számos programspecifikus rendezvénnyel, köztük a március 4-i MOME KIKI finisszázzsal teszi emlékezetessé a szak.
A new residency is launching in partnership between the Circle and Point Foundation and the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design. The Water Residency Programme will begin in summer 2026, offering a four-month period of residence and creative work in Esztergom for recent MOME graduates and selected alumni artists.
