Eco factor: Two-seater vehicle powered by electric energy.
After boasting the largest tram network in the world, which plays a major part in life of many, the City of Melbourne will witness the classic means of transportation stepping towards a greener future. Australian designer Simon Colabufalo has built a tram vehicle that is powered by electric energy. Hailed the “Metrotopia,” this two-seater vehicle moves on a single rubber ball that allows great flexibility and mobility.
Powered by an electric motor running on power cell, housed within the ball for a lower center of gravity and superior handling, this personal vehicle docks itself inside a specially designed tram to become a part of public transportation. This red colored fan-like trolley has the ability to be recharged while docked inside these trams, getting it prepared to be used by another passenger.
