INgSOC – bicicleta hibrida cu design extraterestru

Odata la ceva timp, apare cate un concept pentru un produs care face ca vechiul design sa arate aproape retro si chiar nepractic. Cam asta e cazul si cu INgSOC, am zice. Asa numitul diamond frame [cadrul clasic de bicicleta] este inlocuit cu un design in forma de “cocoasa de camila”. Designul, realizat de Edward Kim si Benny Cemoli, imbina formele aerodinamice ale designului de triatlon, flexibilitatea bicicletelor clasice si o tehnologie hibrida avansata. Pentru ca bicicleta are o baterie detasabila, in partea din spate, pentru situatiile in care nu mai poti pedala.

Cadrul este construit dintr-un polimer armat cu fibra de carbon (CFRP), pentru o ratie optima intre rezistenta si greutate. Pe ghidon se afla un indicator al nivelului de incarcare a bateriei, precum un indicator de combustibil la o masina. In functie de ce arata acest indicator, iti dai seama ca o parte din energia generata de pedalare este directionata spre acumulator.

Bateria alimenteaza motorul, farurile din fata si din spate, precum si un dispozitiv pentru incarcare a telefonului, sau pe care iti poti prinde GPS-ul, toate functionale pe baza energiei generate de corpul tau, pentru o maxima eficienta.

Poate nu iti place designul – trebuie sa recunoastem ca pare din alt film. Momentan, bicicleta exista doar in forma virtuala/digitala. In cazul in care va intrebati de ce se numeste INgSOC – puteau gasi un nume mai bun – INGSOC era numele guvernului socialist din cartea lui George Orwell, 1894 (tradus si adaptat, in editiile romanesti se numea SOCENG). Se pot face legaturi, poate au pus acel “g” mic pentru ca asocierea cu Big Brither sa nu fie chiar asa de puternica.

EX Trike – Excentricity is defined as a deviation from what is ordinary or customary

The EX trike, designed and built by Nils Ferber, Sebastian Auray, Ruben Faber and Ludolf von Oldershausen. Using two 18-volt-screwdrivers as engines, the “EX” accelerates its driver up to 30 km/h!With a frame inspired by a bare skeleton complete with visible organs, the EX?s drive components are mostly constructed from modified bike parts, while the frame and unique spine-shaped joint used for steering were custom-milled on a CNC machine.
“Excentricity is defined as a deviation from what is ordinary or customary. To match this definition we couln´t just modify an existing vehicle but had to start designing something new from scratch.

The result is a completely new driving concept: The driver lies headlong on his three-wheeled vehicle and accelerates the “EX” with sprawled out arms up to 30 km/h. Eccentrically is also how the steering works: A specially developed joint tilts the back wheel and leans the driver´s weight dynamically into the curve. The driver controls the vehicle with brake and gas handles and by tilting the back wheel with its body”

Shadow Ebike – bicicleta wireless

Bicicleta asta isi primeste comanda de frana!!!! wireless :) Nu mai are fire, franghii sau ate care atarna din ea, sistem de scripeti sau alte cele! Sper doar sa aiba un fel de failsafe si sa iti spuna cand nu mai functioneaza wireless-ul :)

“The Shadow Ebike uses ISM 2.4 GHz wireless technology to communicate actions that are otherwise controlled over wires, allowing it to work like a regular bicycle even with no cables whatsoever.   All wireless communication is managed by a Daymak Drive controller installed on the front wheel (under the disks), which receives user input (e.g. hitting the brakes) and carries out the appropriate action.

Aside from the controller, the motor (either 250W or 350W) and the 36V battery  also rest hidden inside the front wheel.   The battery, which has a 40km range on pedal-assist mode, can be charged via a charging port on the same yellow disk.  A USB port is also available there, so you can use whatever power is left in the battery to trickle a charge onto your cellphone during emergencies, as well as a LED battery indicator.

Creator Daymak is currently taking pre-orders for the Shadow Ebike, which is slated to ship April 30, priced at $1,999.”
