The new design concept by Sarah Park is primarily based on “skiing”. As per the design, target users are very much familiar to this type of activity, thus the overall body has a de-constructed and transforming look. The device being compact would easily fit into an elevator thus the user can take the device up to their apartment. The overall length is the same size that of baby cart. It also can fit in users of different heights and is just as easy for all of them. So this sure is one device that surely will appeal to people of all ages.

Many of us carry our hearts up our sleeve, how about your means of transport? If the design developed by Chang Ting Jen is to be seen, he has designed a cycle what we can call as the Backpack Bicycle. As per the designer, with more and more emphasis being given to the public transport system, it’s not physically possible to explore a city depending solely on such a transport system and that is where his invention comes handy. It weighs just 5.5kg and also doubles up as a hand cart whenever necessary. As per the designer the weight shall come down once the metal parts are replaced by plastics. So just think about it, you are never far away from exploring new places.
