Carboon scooter
Tomaž Mesarič s.p., Slovenia / 2019
Design of a kick scooter with large wheels.
REALIZATION OF THE IDEA
Trekking scooter for adults is primarily intended for recreation. With large wheels, it allows for reaching distances of up to 15 km quite easily and is also suitable for longer city rides. It is designed from carbon in combination with paulownia (East Asian wood, which grows extremely fast, is strong, light, and flexible). When designing, we had to take into account the client’s wish that the scooter could be hybridized with an electric drive, so we had to anticipate a place for batteries.
As a decorative element, Paulownia wood is added to the base frame (Paulownia is known as one of the fastest growing trees). The strength and flexibility of this wood allow easy integration into the entire structure.
