Easy Air Pump

Hand-held air pumps to inflate flat bicycle tires can be a pain, so to make it easy on you; we have here the Air Pot. This is a micro electric compressor for bicycle to inflate air into the tire. Actually you can even use it on wheelchairs. The device is portable, rechargeable and with capabilities to set air pressure accurately. I love the retractable cord feature, which adds in a definitive spunk to the concept.

Designer: Gisuke Tokuyama

The Men’s Only Toothbrush

The goal for designing the Braun Concept Electric Toothbrush was to clearly define and create a toothbrush that is targeted at men. Unisex designs in toothbrushes often tend to appeal to only one gender, so the task at hand was to see if a design could be created that identifies only with one gender. A look at this concept and it is clear that it’s a sexy men’s-only electric toothbrush! Mission accomplished!

As Aleksandar puts it, “The design of the electric toothbrush is also well connected to its performance – aesthetically designed but also functionally in terms of the requirement to take care of your teeth in the best possible way.”

Designer: Aleksandar Andreevski

Deal On Wheels, The e rx Magic!

Some of the challenges that the current green and hybrid cars face are high costs and restricted range or capacity. To overcome these, we have here the e rx, a battery-powered electric vehicle concept. It mainly features an optional range extender that can be rented at gas stations or car dealerships. Essentially this kit contains all components inside one compact box: combustion engine, exhaust system, cooling unit, and fuel tank.

Features:

  • It is available in different sizes with respect to its power output and the size of the fuel tank.
  • The car concept focuses on a very lightweight and cost-efficient design.
  • This is realized by the reduction of fabricated parts.

The e rx is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.

Designer: Maila Thon

eCycle For A Greener World

Packing in trendy, effective, effortless and easily maneuverability into an electric bicycle sounds like a distant dream. That is till you have a look at the eCycle, an electric bicycle that aims to make biking the obvious choice of transportation. The dynamic frame of the eCycle integrates battery and motor within a lightweight and flexible structure. Taking inspiration from retro motorcycles, the bike hosts a stylized fuel tank to mask a battery pack.

eCycle features a hydroformed, flexible and lightweight aluminum frame and a removable battery. The electric motor fits neatly inside the aluminum frame. The handlebar features integrated brake levers, gear case and controllers, without any third party OEM parts.

Need For Speed

Two-wheelers have their fancy appeal and I for one love the ride. The FREERIDE E-SPEED Electric Scooter Concept is essentially a motorcycle idea in a scooter’s architecture. The bike gives the vibe of a hyped up sports scooter in KISKA-KTM design. Redefining urban mobility, the bike is light and sexy.

Technically, the11 kW, 36 Nm strong and up to 85 km / h fast prototype is based on a ultramodern tubular steel frame mounted on alight cast alloy battery pack, and has front and rear mono-swingarm suspension with WP springs.

Designer: KTM – KISKA
