The Chat bike, bringing people together
To stimulate communication between pilot and passengers a front seat design is chosen instead of the traditional back seat variation. The design should give the bike a fresh and modern look that is aesthetically pleasing and invites people to take a ride. Ergonomics are very important within the legally restricted dimensions.
Comfortable and safe
Despite the tight regulations around tricycle dimensions we aspired to create a feeling like your own couch from the living room has been placed at the front of the rickshaw.
Safety & ergonomics for a fearless ride
The Chat bike offers people the chance to be outside and take action when they might not always have the abilities to do so on their own. For optimal safety the bike is equipped with seat belts, sun/rain screen and an electrical step support. The production was chosen to create a soft feeling and while also creating a highly durable and shock resistant seat.
