Peugeot BB1 Combines A Scooter and A Car as Future Transportation

TheFuture — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 08:42:58 +0000

The Peugeot BB1 concept is actually an excellent combination of a traditional Peugeot scooter along with a Peugeot car. The key objective of this project is to offer a car that is ideal for city living and driving on busy traffic. Even with this compact shape, this car can make room for 4 passengers including the driver as a result of efficient interior design. The roof structure can easily puzzle a viewer to be a solar panel or something like that. The innovative horn shaped steering wheel has clearly taken this car apart from other traditional wheel-shaped steering mechanism cars.

Their forms and their flow give hints to some new key features. The front of the Primavera with its playful swinging lines and the decorative air-inlets refer to hairstyles and hat fashion of the 60`s. The rear section with its metallic air-outlets rather speaks an automotive language and makes sure the helmet in its appearance is well-balanced. The 180° rotatable visor marks the heart of the helmet. Different shaped and toned visors can be attached to the patented helmet fixation tool-free via magnetic system in just a second.

Primavera represents the initial of a new lifestyle that can be lived. Primavera, the helmet for the high tech community of tomorrow.

Link Urban Modular Scooter System for Better Environment

TheFuture — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 23:45:02 +0000

Link urban scooter system is a modular transportation solution that you can retrofit with the present Streetscape Smart Poles. Anton Grimes has designed this superb concept electronic scooter and will be available for hire from a hub to ride to the preferred destination. After reaching there, users have to return it to another hub for recharging. Grimes have used the existing light poles to reduce the expenses of the unit and offers strong anchors that are able to carry both power and telecommunications to the hub. The main goal of the design is to reduce cars in the CBD as per Sydney 2030 plan and make a more pedestrian city.

Anton says :
“With increasing demand on an already over-stretched transport infrastructure it makes sense to shift the way that we move, by taking up less space per individual while in transit. The energy required to move the individual is also greatly reduced by reducing the size and weight of the vehicle.

The device also removes direct emissions away from the city and with the addition of environmentally sustainable power generation off-site, the device has the potential to have no net emissions.”

Butterfly, Mini-Compact Scooter

TheFuture — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 07:08:16 +0000

Butterfly is a compact mobile micro scooter for an efficient use in short distances (e.g. from the tram to the train station). The idea is to optimize the daily commuter way and thereby getting faster from A to B. While Butterfly is closed, he fits into any bag or rucksack. By pulling the steering-knob, Butterfly springs open in a second and is ready to ride. After usage, just push the two casings together and the folded plate disappears smoothly in-between them. Dirt and bulky parts are thereby elegantly provided inside the case. This way you can promptly put back Butterfly, without having any dirty in, or scratches on your bag.
