Zig Zag (Electric bike)

Industrial Design
"Caring and traveling the world."

ZigZag is a personal, fully electric, three wheeled bike, conceived by the need for environmentally friendly transport for the city and different places where this problem is not entirely satisfied. 

The product can be easy manufactured, because the frame is made of aluminum alloy 6161. This material is commonly used on bicycles, giving to the product low weight at high strength -- very important attribute for the electric mobility and can support persons up to 100 kg (ZigZag mass 35 Kg). Other parts are standard pieces, the shell is only two parts that assembly easily with only four screws and is made in ABS durable and good impact resistant material. 

This allows easy and economic maintenance of the product
In the electric part, the position of the electric system has three principal components. The two PB-acid 24V 20AH batteries (economic and recyclable), velocity indicator, level battery indicator, regenerative brake control and 350-500W hub motor. For travel at range distances between 10-15km, up to 30Km/h.

All these features added to a design that means nostalgic product that recalls the first bicycles, and opens the doors to the beginning of a new era of sustainable ecologic product that can satisfy markets like the city mobility, tourist mobility, internal industry mobility and whatever you can imagine moving with this compact but very functional and easy, fun to drive vehicle.
The direction based in the Ackerman principle gives a new way to drive, bending the emotion of free drive of bikes with the stability of a three wheel vehicle. Turning radius of only 0.8 meters.

The users of my product would be initially people 15-40 years old, or people that need to use this product on for work to arrive fast and secure. 

Thanks to the innovative design, ZigZag can be adapted according the measures of the user, the seat, footrest and handlebar can be regulated in angle and height. The product life cycle can be helped by the idea that can be adapted and added for other products or needs because it can be modified for the user's needs.
