With rising petroleum prices, it only makes sense that we should look for other alternative forms of energy, which provide an easily accessible and environmentally efficient transportation system. The Olive Public bike concept created by Turkish designer Arda Dalay is just such a concept that targets smaller cities with slower lifestyles.

The eco-friendly bike or trike rather, looks like a cross between the moped and a scooter, borrowing silhouettes from both the genres. With three wheels providing optimum stability, the bike comes with two handy storage units on either side that serve as luggage compartments for shoppers and can be used to house the bags. The bike system would utilize a smart card system that would automatically detect the users’ profile (age, sex, preferred destination and routes, etc.) and allow charge the users’ for the bike’s usage accordingly. The designer intends the use of this bike to be free for a limited distance beyond which the bike’s services would be charged accordingly. The GPS-enabled bike can be parked anywhere within city limits making it theft-proof and more public-friendly. The bike would be powered by an electric motor that can be charged if required, by using the pedals.

2. ‘Flex’ monolithic concept city bike

A design entry to the famed Seoul Cycle design Competition 2010, the “Flex” by Israeli designer Ran Amitai has been conceived as a city bike. The idea was to create a monolithic concept which was a whole in itself rather than being a conglomeration of several parts. Keeping that in mind, Ran envisioned a bicycle that combined the back fork with the chain cover elements, thereby inducing unity into ultimate design form apart from enhancing the overall aesthetics.

The carbon fiber bicycle demands a rather unusual action for braking. The brakes are located in the back wheel so that the rider has to reverse pedal in order to bring the bicycle to a halt. To augment visual appeal and also increase maneuverability through crowded streets, Ran has narrowed the handlebars.
