Hasta La Ideas

More often than not, technology is not merely a tool but also a medium for expression. No wonder, themed and limited edition gadgets attract so much attention from demanding geeks. Gamification is the new trend that brings the best of both worlds and makes your boring accessories filled with a refreshing function that actually gets you to perform the intended action for a better lifestyle.

This electric bike concept envisioned for mobilitylabs.ai wants to cash in on the trend, transforming your every ride in the city into a gamified experience. The idea is to empower your daily commuter as a medium to engage with the outside world creatively.

Designer: Evgeniy Vakulich

Dubbed TRONTENDO (an amalgam of Tron and Nintendo) the e-bike has built-in interactive elements including gamified riding mechanics and charge level indicators adapted from game HUDs. In particular, the Nintendo’s retro and current line-up of titles. Evgeniy sees every bike rider as the hero of their digital universe, and the bike is a projection of that sentiment with an appealing retro-futuristic vibe. It is a peppy creation that bridges the gap between the past, present, and the future. More than that, the electric bike reflects the commitment towards minimalism, functionality, and emotional engagement. To its core, the unique motorcycle design is a visually appealing synergy between the digital aesthetics of the Tron bike and the playful innovation of Nintendo.

The clean lines, sharp contours, and bold color blocks are the true emulation of the retro Nintendo consoles in their glorious evolution. Combine those eye-popping pixelated graphics with the sleek, modern form of a two-wheeler that the young generation would fancy as their mode of expression, is guaranteed to grab attention. The designer has mixed the visual elements of the Nintendo color themes with the digital display, HUD and vital indicator elements. Imagine riding this thing to your daily commute (especially in the dark hours) with all the gamified elements coming to life. On-lookers would give this thing more than just a glance!
