Top priorit y: Creating a form that is aesthetically pleas-
ing over three different configurations.

This consumer will not own multiple vehicles, this will be their only one. In this case, f lexibility is extremely important as the needs of the driver change from commute to storage to parking.
“Who will use this?�
1
Potential for storing items in rear is fully open to the user. Including weather proof options.

“but..whats the point??�
Max traction - low drag
Low fiction - normal drag
TO START OF F...
some innovation!
Elliptical wheels??
I beg an this concept by envisioning a rear wheel which would allow a full
variation of traction by rotation around a stationary centre point. The tyre is now a track which makes this possible. And because it is elliptical the whole rear of the vehicle can raise or lower.. increasing and decreasing the drag coefficient.

physical MODEL “Hey....where’s the roof?”
This concept is inspired by the leg-
endary Can AM racers of the 60’s. They didnt have roofs..so why should mine?
