DESIGN NAME: Ecofriendly
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Electric Diy Bicycle
INSPIRATION: We are inspired by the many DIY furnitures in boxes from IKEA. They are cheap and easy to assemble for anyone. Pick up a box in the morning and in the afternoon you have an assembled furniture. This is the simple idea behind our bike. you get it in a box in the morning and in the afternoon you an assembly electric bicycle and then off you go. As easy as it gets. The bike is made in ply-wood
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The wood used for the ÖKOVÄNLIG, meaning 'environmentally friendly', is PEFC certified plywood, harvested in an environmentally friendly way and manufactured in Germany. This e-bike has specially designed aluminum parts that turn two plywood panels and two wheels on the ÖKOVÄNLIG. The easy-to-remove Protanium lithium battery sits in the plywood sandwich construction. The ÖKOVÄNLIG e-bike complies with EN and ISO standards. The Protanium electric components have already been tried and tested
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This electric bicycle is very easy to operate and to assemble. The assemble time is less than 30 minutes. When you push the pedal it automatically transform into an electric assisted bicycle. On the display you can follow your speed and the autonomy of the battery.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: A total 12 month of development in the Pininfarina design office in Italy and in the Diavelo development office in Croatia and the Netherlands

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Our research is based on insights from end consumers. The end consumers was missing a holistic designed electric bike in the market. Normally electric bikes are not that beautiful. You will see external battery boxes. External motors and external cables. But in our Pininfarina case all is extremely well integrated.
CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge was that there was no components available. Because of idea to integrate all items we had to make many of the parts from scratch. For instanse the battery and the display is totally new developments for this project only.
