Design of a private-public electric bicycle system applying near future technologies

Abstract

[EN] The paper has researched, analysed and implemented near future technologies to achieve the creation of a system which would potentially change the way we move inside cities. Through combining public and private resources, a social concern is created, where the individual helps the community and itself by sustainable transport use, and the community rewards him with efficient, effective automatic and personalized transport. The system proposed will be the lightest, more compact e-bike kit ever created. It will also be very comfortable to use and maintenance-free, following the concept of ‘stealth aid’. The city is there to help the rider, as it is supporting his mobility, sharing costs and responsibilities. Additionally, charge network maintenance is minimum and investment not as big as other bike infrastructure projects. Adaptable to almost every city, and to every bike.
