We created the E-Trike Concept as an in-house design study project, focusing on exploring the idea of a city vehicle with superior safety, stability, and road perceptibility. The concept was designed to offer a generous cargo area, user-friendly handling suitable for beginner riders, and strong durability. By emphasizing vehicle-grade construction and compelling aesthetics, the project aimed to achieve high social acceptance and establish the E-Trike as a practical, attractive, and reliable mobility solution.

Research
We conducted a thorough research on light electric vehicles as a solution for a green personal transport in the cities and the reasons why they lack popularity. We also undertook a research on the most common reasons for bicycle and motorcycle accidents, and explored possible solutions for some of the main accident causes such as inattentional blindness on the road and the size-arrival effect.
