design of mobility products
We develop and design mobility products, like electric wheelchairs, motorcycles, walkers, mobility scooters and everything with wheels. We support from idea till production.
mobility
Mobility is a crucial aspect of city life, affecting how people commute, access services, and engage with their communities.
Designing mobility products like walkers, wheelchairs or mobility scooters requires innovation and user-centric approaches to ensure efficient, user friendly and enjoyable products.
fold x
Light, fold-able and good looking. The new mobility scooter offers a great degree of freedom, rides up 6 km/h and the scooter folds into a small package that can be placed in a car or the plane.
The four wheel setup gives the mobility scooter great stability, while the compact dimensions make sure that people can easily maneuver.
We designed this fold-able mobility scooter from the bottom up.
our role:
design strategy, research, kinematics design, geometry design, concept development, mobility design, 3D engineering, sourcing of components, integration of electronics, drive train design, prototyping, testing, production support.
e-wheelchair
Enjoy freedom with this new electric wheelchair. The wheelchair rides up to 6 km/h and folds into a small package that can be placed in a car.
The seat is adjustable and fold-up armrests make it easier to get into the seat. The brushless and maintenance free motor is powerful and quiet.
Our design studio designed this wheelchair from the bottom up, although we took into account all experience that our client had with the older generation wheelchairs. A scale model was shown at the Rehacare show.
Starting from strategy, concept design and folding kinematics, we continued with the full 3D CAD development up to a production ready level and intermediate scale models to test functionality.
our role:
design strategy, research, ergonomic mockups, kinematics folding design, geometry design, mobility design, concept development, 3D engineering, sourcing of components, prototyping, testing.
crossover e-bike
This new crossover ebike for the US market is using elegant, yet aggressive forms in the frame to communicate the sporty and adventurous character.
The bike is targeted at people above 50 years of age that like to use the bike as a leisure bike, going out into nature and taking a gravel path now and then.
Big tires and a slightly sporty geometry give the bike some offroad genes, while the rear hub motor and nicely integrated battery give the bike the looks of a bio-bike.
our role:
design strategy, geometry design, mobility design, concept development, early 3D frame engineering, selection and sourcing of components.
G87
Development of a high-end eMTB, with top notch components and a newly designed VPP suspension platform.
The new e-bike is inspired on GP motorcycles and features a suspension design with high chain stay. It will have a brand new Yamaha PW-X4 motor with 100Nm and a 840Wh battery.
The MTB-pro model is equipped with a SRAM Transmission AXS groupset, with electronic shifting and high-end Fox Factory suspension components. Another model, more directed towards the urban SUV segments, features an Enviolo with Gates Carbon belt drive, with fully electronic and automatic shifting.
our role:
design strategy, kinematics design, geometry design, concept development, full 3D frame engineering, sourcing of components, prototyping, motorcycle design studio, testing, graphics, production of carbon frames, bike assembly, quality assurance.

comin scooter
The new Comin’ is light and foldable, making it the perfect companion on short trips. The patented s-curved steering column makes sure that the scooter is large enough to ride, and still it folds compactly.
The scooter has a powerful foot-operated brake, offering great braking performance during wet weather conditions.
our role:
design strategy, proof of principle models, concept development, 3D engineering, sourcing of components, prototyping, testing.
