Freewill Urban by Jinn Wong: Collapsible Trike







inn Wong has been worrying about the transportation rituals of people who are used to commuting long distances but still tend to harm the environment when travelling between two types of public transportation. The absence of a personal eco-friendly vehicle and long distances prompt people who travel by public transport to choose a taxi, etc.
Freewill Urban is a transportation concept designed by Wong as a commuting assistant from the train station to the next station or the final destination. This trike is powered by duo motors that control the two major wheels individually. Charged electronically, the scooter can be recharged between stations and is thus eco-friendly as being run without the use of a gas-emitting fuel. The project upon which the design is based is intends to encourage more people to travel via public transport, thereby reducing the use of non-renewable energy sources and their harmful effects upon the environment.
The use of Freewill Urban in transit would also be easy for the reason that the trike is collapsible and easy to carry. It includes space for a briefcase or laptop bag, something that professional would rarely step out of their homes without.
