Evergreen is an innovative alternative of the existing modes of transportation in a friendly manner, both from the environmental and inner city aspects. When it comes about “inner city travel”, most of you will imagine of dirty, stressful, slow and dangerous transit. Evergreen, by getting inspired by the nature, is designed to offer a pleasurable inner city transportation experience by symbolizing the “green” lifestyle and minimize environmental damage. The everlasting green line offers a subtle accent that draws the eye of all range of people and leads the vehicle around the flowing contours and symbolic forms of nature.
The riding position of this eco friendly vehicle can be adjusted as per the rider’s requirement and one fast movement can turn the vehicle into a trolley from a motorized trike that you can drag or store anywhere. The rear wheel houses an eco electric motor that charges the battery as the front wheel turns and harness energy that is lost in breaking to charge the battery. A luggage compartment is located in between the battery and the motor where you can store your necessary stuff. It comprises a strong, lightweight and eco friendly polycarbonate structure that can be recycled several timers over using low energy.

Will this transportation transportate? Because from the imagine shown, it somewhat looks unparallel (unless it due to the prespective angle of the rendering) … the front wheels seems like its v-shaped outwards? Would that not make it impossible to go forward?
Bikes look much more practical then this, too big to carry around. and it takes time to fold it unfold. also safety concerns, what if you crash?
Firstly Ki it is essentially a folding motorbike and so far more practical than traditional motorbikes or electric bikes. Secondly u roll it around behind you when it is folded so there is no effort or 'carrying' invloved. Thirdly, it takes next to no time ( maximum 10 seconds) to fold the bike into a trolley. And finally it is clearly alot safer and more comfotable than both conventional motorbikes or bicycles etc, as it is practially impossible to fall off and if u do crash u are protected by the structure. Plus it has 4 wheels so is far more stable than a bike, therefore making the user feel far more relaxed, comfortable and safe.
so based on these facts i would say it is far more practical than bike, not to mention and advantages in speed, comfort, ease of use, accessiblity, transportability and environmental sustainabilty it has over bikes.
