Innovative Foldable Urban Bike Development

Job ID: 39129581

Budget: €30 – €250 EUR

I'm looking for an expert in product design and engineering to create an innovative, lightweight, and compact urban bike. This bike should be able to fold for easy storage and transform into a stable cart for transporting groceries. A key feature of this project is integrating a deployable third wheel into the bike's frame, ensuring optimal stability in 'cart mode', while maintaining an ergonomic design and ease of use.

Key Requirements:
- The bike should be constructed primarily from steel. Therefore, understanding of steel's properties and design potential is crucial.
- The design should prioritize a stable three-wheel configuration, which is the most important feature for the bike.
- The bike should also be user-friendly, particularly in terms of ease of carrying when folded. The design must allow for simple deployment of the cart mode, ensuring the stability of the bike in 'cart mode'.

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proven experience in product design, particularly with bikes or similar vehicles.
- Strong understanding of steel construction and design.
- Experience in designing for user experience, particularly in terms of ease of transport and use.
- Ability to design a stable three-wheel configuration while maintaining lightweight and compact design principles.
