DESIGN NAME: 1plus1,folding electric bicycle
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Folding Electric Bike
INSPIRATION: Every day I walk 20 minutes to work. I'm always almost late, so I consider buying an electric bike or a scooter. But what bothered me was that e-bikes can't be parked in a safe place, and scooters are portable but sometimes the road is too rough to walk ont. So I started to try to design a folding electric bicycle that I like.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a more special and fun electric bike that adds another way to ride while achieving folding function. When unfolded, it drives fine. When folded, it can not only be carried, but also used as a scooter. Two riding modes produce more surprises. It meets the functional and psychological needs of young people for transportation, and such a cool way of travel will be pursued by young urbanites in the future
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The bike can be used normally when unfolded. During the folding process, the hinge of the seat cushion part is first rotated and folded downwards, and then the two parts of the rear wheel are simultaneously folded to the front wheel, and the folding is completed

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The future of transportation is not only to meet the travel function, it should be a product that highlights the user's attitude and taste in life. And customized vehicles will become more and more popular in the future, through the superposition of design functions, may produce 1+1>2 effect
CHALLENGE: Front and rear wheel hinges are linked
