Unfortunately it’s a typical student project.
- The designer wanted to make a black and orange bike with a stylized frame from the beginning.
- Write up is full of “weeks of research” “customization for every rider” “3D printing”, etc. Yet, they offer no explanation of how it solves those needs successfully.
- “It introduces a revolutionary way of looking at personalized transportation systems that can grow and transform with you and your lifestyle.” …yet they only show color variations.
- “3d printing as a medium of manufacturing allows users to create on the spot adjustments both quickly and relatively inexpensively.” I want their 3D printing service bureau’s number.
- How do you use the “storage compartments”. Do you have to carry a screw driver to take apart the frame?
- They talk about storage, modification, diverse needs yet their exploration page only show thumbnails of frames.
Unfortunately, students are used to saying…“we’ll it’s just a student/conceptual project” as a way of avoiding designing the product and just focusing on the aesthetics and flashy renderings.
I realized long ago that these articles are not the best of the best. A lot of times they are simple hyperlinks to the real articles or the writers have no idea what they are writing about. I think they just go by the pretty pictures and regurgitate content that has already been created. Sad.
