Eco Factor: A pedal-powered vehicle ideal for short term commuting in a fun new way.
Dream-Wing is a bike design for the adventurous at heart. It allows the rider to have loads of fun while commuting over short distances in an urban setup in a green way. The concept bike uses pedal power in a very unique way with a set of wheels and axles which translate the movement of trampling on the pedals into circular rotation of the wheels. When you ride the Dream-Wing you would get the feel of riding the chariots in ancient coliseums, as you are constantly both exerting force and trying to keep your balance. The only missing component is the horse! With Dream-Wind, it would be easy to promote green commuting among kids and teens, as the excitement of the vehicle would surely draw them to it.
The Dark Side:
They say that your greatest strengths are also your weaknesses at times, and it could not be truer in the case of Dream-Wing. The very exciting design that makes it appealing to the young would deter the less adventurous to try it out. It also requires a very good balance and skill to drive the Dream-Wing and not every kid would be comfortable with that. Safety also looks a bit bleak on the machine, and while it promotes green commuting, there are a lot saner options, like the bicycle itself!
