Infinitlar Concept

While most vehicles operate on 2 or more wheels, the Infinitlar concept vehicle IS a wheel! The autonomous, hydrogen powered vehicle is an extraordinary vision of future personal transportation we could be using 30 years from now. It aims to provide users in densely populated urban areas the creature comforts of home while they travel. It's more like a gyroscopically stabilized "room on wheels" that delivers you from point A to point B so you can focus on other things like work or relaxing!

Ele Solar Bicycle

Ele is a solar bicycle with solar panels on its wheels that rotate 30 degrees on both sides, to face toward sun. This is to absorb as much sun-power that it can. This hybrid bike can be charged via electricity and the sun. It works in 3 modes though, muscle power, Semi- electric: electricity helps the user to ride easier and faster. Lastly, The Electric: here it functions completely like an electrical bicycle.

Hyperion Supercar

Hyperion Hybrid Supercar concept was created to push our understanding of what a supercar should look and feel like. It is a plug in hybrid, enabling the driver to master longer distances with only electric propulsion. When more power is needed, the combustion engine seamlessly transmits additional torque to the rear wheels, giving the vehicle even more boost for dynamic and sporty driving experience. Front wheels are driven via two electric motors, one in each wheel. Due to smart battery placement, center of gravity is extremely low, making the vehicle stick to the road when taking corners.

The exterior design was meant to capture the split personality of the vehicle itself, with the two tone color scheme adding to the two part body panels. The top shell seats on the lower panel which is clearly visible in the double shoulder line. Longer wheelbase adds a more dramatic and firm stance to the side view.

Interior is designed around the driver to provide more personal and futuristic driving experience. Flexible OLED displays replace side and rear mirrors for better oversight of the vehicles surroundings. All the controls are optimized and simplified. Almost all non essential buttons are replaced with touch functionality making the vehicle very intuitive to handle.

e-bike by Nikos Manafis

Nikos Manafis' e-bike concept achieves its sharp, aerodynamic form through a manufacturing process that consists of folding sheets of aluminum around minimal, lightweight frame. But it's an electric bike, so where is the motor?— Not one but two 250W in-wheel motors work either separately for extended range, or together for an extra boost of speed. Extras include a classic Brooks saddle and 3d printed lenses for LED tail lights! Watch the 360!

Skoda Ago EXPO MicroTaxi

Skoda Ago EXPO Taxi is an experimental concept taxi designed by Maxim Shershnev and Tigran Lalayan. The concept was developed at Scuola Politecnica di Design (SPD) in Milan during the Master course in Transportation and Car Design 2011/12 held in collaboration with Volkswagen Group Design. The workshop was about reflecting on transportation issues related to the upcoming World EXPO in 2015, supposed to attract 130 participating countries and about 20 million visitors. This project is based on the Skoda brand, an ecological Micro-car taxi. Aside from focusing on the design of the concept, these designers also incorporated key elements of Skoda brand identity and aspects related to innovation, ecology, and flexibility into the car. This students team developed ideas which were related to the services such as online booking, comfortable lounge areas in airports/train stations, and a separate entrance to the fair.

DESKA Board’s CitySurf Concept

DESKA Board's CitySurf concept brings the thrill of extreme sports like snowboarding and surfing to the streets! It's hard to compare to anything else because it's seriously unique. On one hand, it rides like a skateboard with a similar stance and low clearance, but features a hand brake, 3 larger wheels, and a flexible belt on which the rider stands. On the other, it's akin to a windsurf board with its sail used to propel it and control direction.
