호주 출신의 산업 디자이너 『발렌티 보뎁』이 디자인한 컨셉트형 자전거인 '바이쿼트로'는 자전거의 맵시와

자동차의 기능을 결합한 디자인입니다. 이것은 가볍고 안전한 운송수단으로서 바퀴를 두 개에서 네 개로 바꿀 수 있도록 설계되었습니다.
'바이쿼트로'의 특징은 다음과 같습니다.
1) 어디든지 쉽게 이동할 수 있다.
2) 다용도성 : 가벼운 쇼핑을 갈 때는 2개의 바퀴, 짐을 실을 때는 3개의 바퀴를 사용할 수 있다.
3) 자연친화적이며 저렴하다. : ‘바이쿼트로’에는 전기 메커니즘을 작동시키는 페달이 있다.
이것의 배터리 모터는 한 번의 충전으로 30km를 갈 수 있으며, 충전 시간은 3시간으로 배터리 충전 비용은 100km 당 0.15£이며

최고 22km/h까지 속력을 낼 수 있습니다.

BIQUATTRO STRIPPING DOWN THE CAR TO ITS BARE BASICS - From the functioning prototype "Biquattro" to the concept of an electric bike-car IDEA The concept behind the Biquattro is to stimulate some thoughts about alternatives to the car, now that in everyone's mind, it has become clear that our habits over the past century have contributed to exuberant levels of carbon dioxide emission and global warming. Transformation in the industries are happening as we speak: more hybrid or electro cars are on the market now, 'biofuel' is substituting the more pollutant gas and the clean development mechanisms guides all countries towards fulfilling the commitment of the Kyoto protocol. The Biquattro concept responds to these necessary behavioral changes by servicing the needs for transportation through 'clean' solutions. It is a new interface to transportation, requiring no more than a battery pack that can bring the level of speed up to 22 km/h. It combines the sleekness of the bicycle and the functionality of the car. The 'less the better', using bicycle parts to create a care-like vehicle that is lightweight and safer than a car. The hybrid _bike-car' is versatile, a two-wheeler can change into a four-wheeler. When driven on two wheels, it allows 1-2 persons to drive down a pathway, street or park. When a loading surface is needed, e.g to deposit shopping bags or luggage, then the back wheels can be split into 2 and opened up to create a trunk space of 150 litres. Its versatility and solution to common problems encountered when using a car (e.g environmental pollution, parking space, garage fees, etc) makes it a viable alternative to the traditional means of transportation. USE & BENEFITS EASE OF MOBILITY Biquattro is a prototype driven by the idea that one should be able to exercise full mobility, in cities, through traffic lights and in the parks, past traditional bikers. VERSATILITY The electric bike can be driven on 2 wheels or, as needed for shopping, on 3 wheels as the rear wheel can split into two, transforming it into a tricycle with a big loading surface. Up to 150 litres volume fits into the back storage space, more than the average trunk size of some cars (e.g mini, smart, yarts, etc). THINKING GREEN is CHEAPER It has peddles to kick-start the electric mechansism. Its battery powered motor lasts 30 km per charge. Charging time is only 3 hours. The costs of charging the battery is 0.15 £ per 100 km range. It uses a normal 230 V plug. The Biquattro can pick up speed of up to 22 km/h.
