Environment friendly gadgets and machines are the in thing these days, and they definitely are the need of the hour. With so many different concepts and designs coming up, it is definitely not easy to decide which one is the best of the lot, but its worth trying out these cool gadgets and machines, simply because they are so eco-friendly such as electric scooters or the GM Segway car.
While a wide range of electric cars are available in the market, we have the option of two-three wheelers too these days, especially considering great features like compactness, weightlessness, and the most important feature being – they are great space savers.
Cherry is part of the new age transportation machines and electric bikes; its design inspired by the fruit! It gives you a reason to stop worrying about parking space, fuel or battery, or about re-painting your old car. Its a 40kg, carbon-fibre plastic body machine designed to use vehicle efficiency at its best. An enhancement though would be avoiding the use of plastic completely in the body. Nevertheless, be is the torque, speed, ease of steering and grip, performance, motor or maintenance, Cherry has mastered it all. Not to mention it looks completely like a new-age machine.
The concept of Electric bikes and cars has fast traveled the journey between the primitive low-functionality prototypes to present extra-engineered retail units. Folding bikes aren’t a bizarre concept anymore; it’s just what extra frills the designer has to offer. Truong Minh Nhat, a Saigon student designed Capella, the lightweight electric bike. The foldable structure is compact and intends to equip the user to battle away with the daily traffic issues. Where finding space in concrete jungles on cities is next to finding treasure, this bike can be folded into an easy-to-carry structure. The bike has its wheels, chain and chain-ring bolt folded into the body. The bike can vroom with a speed 30 kilometers per hour with a battery that will provide juice for 12 kilometers on a single charge. The industrial design student has well taken care of the style department and looks forward to reduce the weight of the bike to 10 kilograms. The intellectual property guys have also showed the green signal to this foldable bike. Short distance travel will surely become more green and stylish with such bikes.
