Scoobike By Ardhyaska Amy

 As you might have guessed by the name, the Scoobike combines push and pedal power to form one perfectly minimal and super-accessible system of public, hybrid bikes for getting around the urban jungle in a jiffy. Pedal-powered LED lights provide added safety beyond generic reflectors and an adjustable seat means one size fits all!


Amantide Electric Trike

 The prime dependency for today’s transportation needs is on fossil fuels. These fossil fuels being non renewable in nature and contributors towards pollution, efforts should be made for increasing usage of alternative sources of energy. In the recent times, there have been quite some attempts towards developing two as well as four wheelers that run on electricity. The awareness towards these modes of transportation has also simultaneously increased.
 A recent invention that’s based on utilizing energy from electricity is the Amantide Electric Trike. This three wheeler mode of transportation designed by Florentin Hortopan has a revolutionary design. It has seating space for a single person, with one wheel to support on the backside, and two wheels on the front side, with leg rests attached to the extensions supporting these wheels.
 A handlebar attached near the base of the seat has an accelerator on the right hand side similar to a motorbike, whereas the braking mechanism for the trike is activated by pulling the entire handlebar towards the chest of the rider. Additionally, there is also a spring like suspension beneath the seat that acts as shock absorber for the jerks that might be encountered during riding the trike. The source of power, a rechargeable battery would also be located besides this spring suspension.
What makes this trike more desirable as well as (supposedly) theft proof, is the fact that post the ride, the user can fold it up and carry it with him to his next destination or store it inside his room/cubicle. No doubt, the trike looks elementary and maybe a tad funny, but there is no denying the fact that it is a safe and convenient alternative for commuting short distances and contributing a bit towards the environment.

Citroen Tricycle

 A lot of research has gone into this project. The designers had to go through a series of marketing documentation in order to understand thoroughly the car brand Citroën. Through all the work they found our that the car brand had some values they wanted to express but could not and so they sat and made up a design of an electric tricycle that apparently defines the missing values. It is like a cycle but is a tricycle with a heated saddle, electric engine and a lock on the handle bar as well as a basket up front.


ENLACE Modular Bicycle By Lim Zheng Wei



Riding a bicycle is always a pleasant experience especially with a group of friends. But at times it becomes a little difficult to ride parallel to each other and there is always a fear of smashing into each other while talking. Also the same color of the bicycle can be quite a dull sight every single day. Changing all such notions is ENLACE designed by Lim Zheng Wei which will make sure that your trips on a bicycle are interesting enough.


The bicycle comes with an outer casing that can be changed when desired. If someday you want your bike to look red or blue, simply change the outer case and give it a fresh look. Coordinate it with your outfit or according your mood, the colors will always make your bike look smart. Exploiting the shaft technology is this modular bike which can be easily coupled with a second bicycle. For a great and secure tandum side-by-side manner the bicycles can be fixed together with three main joints: the front steering, the back joint which is sited at the back wheel of the inner frame and the front joint that is positioned at the front of the outer frame. With the tandum side-by-side mode, you can talk to your friends endlessly without the fear of colliding into each other.

ENLACE will make bicycle rides enjoyable and also make sure you don’t get bored with the same skin color of the bike.
