The 'FarGo' concept bike is a compact transportation solution that aims to provide small-scale mobility just like what's possible with existing motorcycles and bikes in order to support fast-paced environments.
The bike is conceptualized with the Southeast Asian countries Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand in mind in order to offer merchants the ability to easily sell their wares in local markets. The high rates of tourism that these nations have is also taken into account for the bike, which could be changed to accommodate passengers going short distances.
The 'FarGo' concept bike is the design work of YoungJae Kim and Dinesh Raman, and has been designed for the Michelin Design Challenge 2020 for which it has come in second place.
