My Master presentation from 2009. Concept in the field of Urban Traffic Space Development. Hope You like the idea. Industry Design, Koszalin University of Technology, Poland. Music by Massive Attack, Herbie Hancock and Hifana.
Just made a playlist with concepts I want to follow as I'm thinking about getting a environmentally friendlier car than the old fashioned ones. This is the most interesting of all the videos I've seen. Four wheels = My girlfriend would not be afraid driving it Convertible number of seats = My gf + the dogs (other would have kids) in the bag / stuff Two seats in front = more comfort for the co-drivers :) Absolutely loves this idea!
what a nice Idea!! good for people who always go to office even its raining or a sunny day!! perfect for a couple who have a baby.....:) but how to view the full specifications? and how much if you buy this cute one?
Very very cool, I think the back seating that folds out should be either one seat, or a two person seat that's just one larger seat. But this is cool, very cool.
Think GREEN and put pedals in, not only is the exercise very good for the car-user but it will save the day if the battery runs out while only a few miles/kilometres from the next charging point.
This is a very interesting car. I like the fact that is seats four. I do not like the pull out feature. Perhaps either a two or a four seater would be a good option. The fold down seats in the four seater could make room for hauling something larger than a couple of grocery bags, or perhaps the family dog. The ground clearance is very low. This would be problematic in Northern cities with a lot of snow. Wheels more like the fat tire bicycles one sees now days (sturdier, of course) and a more open wheel well might be practical. Nothing is mentioned about the specifications. Electric? Gas? Combo? Solar?
Suggestion: Scale up. Make car bigger using quad (4) hub motors & larger battery pack. W/quad setup, u can locate regenerative brakes inside motor shaft. ECM would turns by making inbound wheels run slower, stopped, or reverse. Pivot point of zero turns radius can be applied anywhere alongside the length of car, dependent on motor direction & torque spin. Highly recommend integrated drive/neutral gearing in motor wheel housing to save on battery power when cruising down the highway.
I would want this or a small one, and you really have talent for designing! The expanding idea is great, but people frown at everything they're not used too. This will change fast. One idea that other car comp. follow is to use already tested and cheap parts from f.ex electric lift trucks. I wish you well on the journey!
Skip the folding, forget the other two guys. Just a small car for two. Can you make it electric, reliable and cost under $10.000 ? Then you win ! Great design however. Well done!
What is the point of the extending back turning it into a 4 seater? It just adds a lot of complication and expense, when it could be just a rigid body 4 seater.
OU' on peut avoir des rensaignements, et eventuellement l'ACHETER. Est-il OMOLOGUE' POUT TOUTE L'EUROPE. Y-a-t'ils des concessionaires en Italie ? Dove si può acquistare, ci sono concessionari in Italia ?
lo único malo seria el precio, porque me imagino que no estará al alcance de los que ganamos poco... pero es excelente este prototipo, me gustaría tener uno.
Two problems 1- Nothing can extend past the rear bumper to qualify for safety regulations. 2- Needlessly complicated as shrinking the car doesn't offer anything.
great for 20-somethings, too much like flying coach for my taste. In this society of overweight people, I don't think this works. Very good presentation.
How about the ever so precious street parking space? You multiply the saved few inches by ten vehicles like that and you´ve just made a room for another one. Have you ever tried to park in a European city? Obviously not, otherwise you wouldn´t come up with such a "problem". :-) ;-)
