Ever wanted to actually physically create something that you thought up in your head, but you didn’t because you don’t have that degree in engineering or know anything about pyrotechnics? Well a U.S. based pair are not hampered by such thoughts and created the Electrobyte: Sarriugarteis (Odontochile) trilobyte vehicle (no, I don’t know what it means).
But I do know what it is, the trilobyte vehicle is an insect-like, rideable, metal contraption that has, according to boingboing.net, “[a] hand-tooled exoskeleton [that] is mounted on the drive mechanism of an old electric wheelchair. At night, undermounted blue lights give it an otherworldly glow.”
No word on whether there is a distribution deal on the trilobyte vehicle.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Rideable Insect-like Vehicles
- Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the transportation industry to create unique and unconventional rideable vehicles inspired by insects.
- Exoskeleton Creations
- Disruptive innovation potential in the field of engineering and design to develop hand-tooled exoskeletons for various applications.
- Nighttime Illumination Technology
- Innovation opportunities in the lighting industry to create undermounted blue lights for vehicles and other applications to provide an otherworldly glow.
