This was a concept design project for Michelin with goals to create an affordable, adaptable, and efficient method of transportation suitable for India. “TCOOTER” means “TWEEL” + “Scooter”, in connection to Michelin’s “TWEEL” which means “Tire” + “Wheels”. Suspensions of this vehicle will be replaced by technology of “TWEEL” and additional shock absorbing flexibility within bridge-like construction of the frame. Outer shell of the frame is used as cover for internal mechanism, and as a support for replaceable parts (such as seats and racks) that can be made by rider to suit their needs according to his/her needs.
One of unique features of TCOOTER is the removable motor, therefore, you can use it as as portable generator, very practical isn’t it?
