Whenever we come across any unique conception, we tend to anticipate the arrival of final product, for what we can only sense is the glory of the final form. But what we generally overlook is the fascinatingly meticulous process that transforms a rudimentary design in to a remarkable end product. And the more that transformation process takes into consideration the difficulties faced by us normal folk, the more accentuated is the conscientiously convenient character of the conception. Now Voltaic Electric Scooter contrived by the design team of Gregory Mitchell, Dino Tsipanos and Brad Johnson, is exactly one of those conceptions, and we vehemently wait to see it coming out of the concept phase soon.
Primarily conceived as an electric scooter that was to cater to college campuses, the main long-term goal encompassed a common chassis design that could be manufactured by leveraging the chassis of discarded scooters; hence, in the process, recycling them. From there, the design team stumbled upon the realistic problems faced by most electric scooter commuters. Majority of them complained about the lack of storage spaces, especially for everyday groceries.
Taking that into consideration, the design team came upon this particular spatially defined design form. The form was inspired by a myriad of elements including motorbikes, bikes, trikes, automobiles, solar cars and even digital cameras. The main body incorporates that large conspicuous storage bay with a stack of Lithium-ion batteries (for extended range) integrated on its rear end. The scooter also features front suspension, bamboo panels, and perforated storage door with aluminum reinforcements along with a 1000W hub motor and a comfortable, ergonomic leather seat.
But all of these fastidiously thought out attributes got inducted into the main body by some bold design decisions, which actually entailed the complete removal of the foot-well. So at the end of the day, we have a ‘ready to spurt’ completely zero emission ride infused with dollops of practicality.
