Posted in Automobile, Concept, Designer, Health on 10 July 2008

Jaambaaro
If you understand the grey line of difference between urgency and emergency then the concept of an Ambulance Rickshaw by Benoit Angibaud will make more sense to you. It befits the need of developing nations, where crime and health concerns has no limits. Hence, you may little realize what crisis situation you have to face in next few hours. The Ambulance Rickshaw is capable of driving the injured or aged to the hospital within no time. Considering the condition of rural Africa transport, this form of ambulance can really be a savior. It features a blind that offers sunshade to the patient residing inside and a stretcher that allows an easy holding of a patient.

Jaambaaro
What next? Driver steps in, hops in front, gets to wheeling, and here they push towards a medical center. Surely, it is much cheaper form of commuting than standard ambulances. But yes, for performance it needs few potential hands that can develop this structure.
Jaambaaro
It’s presence would surely make a difference between life and death.

Posted in Automobile, Designer on 10 July 2008

Cosmo Trike
Paul Crove from KneeSlider had a chance to talk to Jason from Olmax Fabrication about their latest offering of Cosmo Trike. And the shared features for the three-wheeled monster are truly awesome. Owning a fiberglass body, it features an air ride suspension, a 24-inch front wheel and automotive wheels plus tires out back. Developed to accommodate across majority of riders i.e. From 5 foot even to 6 foot, the automotive engine parts of this bike are outsourced from different locations across the globe. It is manufactured using a 2 cylinder vertical twin, a Garrett turbo, hooked it up to a 4 speed automotive transmission and delivers a power of 70 horsepower, hence offering you an exciting cruise at highway speeds throughout the day . No, it is not a racer but holds its own value with the typical V-twin crowd.

Cosmo Trike
It is equipped with a water cooled engine but the grill on the face of bike is quite misleading as you may be sure that it carries the radiator but to your much surprise the radiator is fitted under the trunk. Priced at $17,900 (the basic cost of the model), it is possible to replace the ordinary parts like air and oil filters.
Cosmo Trike
For now, you can calm down your curiosity by taking a closer look at it as Cosmo Trike is expected to be displayed at numerous events.

Back Pack Bike
If you have a fad for biking but transporting it to your transferable job location or maintaining its safety poses an obstacle before you then here is a solution. The Folding Back Pack Bike comes handy and you can take pride in owning this gadget-form of bike. Weighing 5.5 kg and 60cm in length, it is possible to carry it on your back in a back pack. As a windfall, the feature-packed form of bike can be turned into a hand cart. The bike sports a headlight, back light and turn signals. The prospective customers for the potential concept includes workers and free travelers, but if you count the doubt digit of inflation still moving high in southwards direction and also the global warming concern then Backpack Bicycle seems to be a perfect option for everyone and anyone.

While this being just a concept, eyebrows are raised for the worthy contender to manufacture this concept and I seriously doubt the safety factor involved.
