smart EBIKE a design study of an electric bicycle for smart

For the mondial de l'automobile 2010 in Paris, France, smart, a subsidiary of the Daimler AG, decided to show two alternatives of electric mobility: an all electric scooter and an electric bicyle.
The deisgn and developement process started in June 2010 (tough schedule!) and went on till mid Sptember. Fortunately, at that time I was doing an internship at the Advanced Design Studio of Mercedes-Benz in Sindelfingen, Germany - so I got the task of designing the Bicyle!

Here are some impressions from the show in Paris, some press images and some sketches and renderings from the design process.

Enjoy!
