Variable Frame Bike - Yanko Design - Vancleave Dientiong40

The bicycle is up, and so the cycle is down. You lot sit down on the bike upright in the city, and then set information technology down to prowl in the suburbs. It's intuitive. Information technology's wild. It's a thesis project. It'due south got a video to become with it. It'south already mocked up. The concluding version will take a battery and hubmotor for a piddling kicking in the pants. Environmentally friendly city and country transportation in 1 bike.

Each frame is adjusted to the weight of the rider. The passenger may ride in either mode forever, but if the rider wants to switch from one position to another, they've just to push the locking lever and lean forward or backward. The rider may alter positions while continuing to ride the bicycle.

Info on the mockup movie, beneath:

This is the proof of concept mockup for a commuter bike with variable frame every bit part of the diploma thesis of the product-designers daniel knüpfer and stefan wallmann at anhalt university, dessau in mai 2008. In the concept, the frame tin can be locked by a lever on the handlebar, that feature is missing in the mockup. Also, the springs that help bringing the rider in an upright position demand to be adjusted to the riders weight to remainder the frame (making it possible to switch positions while leaning back or forth). these springs are likewise weak in this paradigm, therefore the riders in the video need to push the backrest a little bit. only a very lightweight rider managed to bring himself upwards past only leaning frontwards.

Vielen Chilly, Deutschland.
