Equestrian Inspired Trike

Equestrian Inspired Trike

The Saddle concept vehicle merges futuristic styling, modern power technology, & equestrian influence into a go-anywhere electric three wheeler designed to tackle the roughest terrain. Inspired by the mobility & connection to nature offered by horse riding, the drivers seating position is much like being on horseback. The trike’s 3 independently controlled swivel wheels are piloted by use of a hemispherical gyroscopic steering mechanism consisting of 3 adjustable discs controlled by the user’s fingers. Saddle up!

The throttle system, modeled after horse reins, consists of three controls- two external hand throttles to control the front wheels, & a middle throttle to control the rear wheel. Using one hand to steer & the other to control acceleration, the unique navigation system allows many different maneuvers, from a complete circle around the rear wheel to lateral movements

Otter Rescue Mission

Otter Rescue Mission

Otter is a personal disaster relief backpack that can be used in both wet (floods) and dry (earthquakes) emergencies. The pack fits in supplies and consists of two quick-sealing storages and a deployable life vest. The highlight here is that you can safely seal in some valuables like documents, jewelry or cash. It may not be in your best interest to actually delay evacuation in order to fill in some valuables, but if things are on the way out, it won’t hurt to stash them in the pack. In the aftermath, your personal belongings can go a long way in keeping the morale up!

Benson explains, “The entire product is designed as a floatation device and helps position the victims like a backward swimming sea otter, while keeping their heads out of the water in case of a flood. Otter also allows clustering of victims together to prevent them from drifting away, helping rescuers to spot them easily

Audi Electric Bike

Audi Electric Bike

Designer Arash Karimi’s Audi bike is a near perfect fit for the future urban consumer. As the usability of cars within inner cities diminishes and green attitudes become the standard, this electric concept provides a serious glimpse into the future of green transportation with global brand cachet. The bike’s robust frame and minimal styling have all the sophistication you’d expect from a premium automaker. Just be careful not to slide too far forward- ouch

The fixed-gear bike’s battery pack is embedded in the body while the electric engine is housed in the rear wheel frame

Volkswagen Rescue Rover

Volkswagen Rescue Rover

Living by the beach I’ve seen a handful of people be rescued by lifeguards, & I always wonder why the lifeguard system doesn’t invest in a single water-to-land vehicle rather than… take the pickup to the shore, to launch the jet-ski, to swim, & rescue the person. It seems a lot more practical right? Inspired by the 1940s Volkswagen Type 166, designer Sebastian Toddenroth came up with this amphibious Volkswagen Beach Rescue rover to make lifeguards’ jobs a tad easier and rescues a lot quicker

What better brand to represent this concept than the reliable Volkswagen? This concept gives drivers the ability to move seamlessly from water to land, & allows drivers to perform omnidirectional maneuvers for increased agility and time efficiency
