German designer Andrew Mocellin has put forward one of his most audacious creations yet in the form of the 'Exo-Line,' a wearable electric three-wheeler that is powered by a battery, boasts design specs inspired by exoskeletons, and places you in a thrilling head-first position in which you can zoom down streets and alleys.
The 'Exo-Line' electric three-wheeler is equipped with a chest-pad on which the user balances their weight, while their feet are placed on foot-rests near the rear wheel. The arms, meanwhile, are extended forward to hold on to the front wheel struts, which are said to be capable of taking their cue from the rider's body movements to offer an engaging and controlled ride.
Mocellin states that this audacious design was inspired by a desire to create a 'physically engaging riding experience' in which the rider's natural body movements and instinct are of paramount importance to influencing the way the vehicle moves and weaves.
