Icona E3WM: Exciting three-wheeled scooter for comfy city commute




With increasing traffic, scooters are becoming hot favorites among the population. Keeping this trend in mind, Italian-Chinese Studio Icona Design has come up with a three-wheel scooter that will get powered with electricity. Dubbed Icona E3WM (Electric 3 Wheel Mobile), it needs 4-6 hours to charge fully from a normal socket.

While riding one, you will get to experience the comfort and safety of a car coupled with the liveliness that comes wrapped when on a scooter. The three wheel ride has a range of almost 150kms and 2 people can easily travel on it. Drive it on the city roads and be ready to grab attention.

Unlike two wheel drives, E3WM is much more stable because of an added wheel. It also has a roof which will protect you from harsh sunrays. Being electric, it will not contribute any polluting substances to the atmosphere. The scooter will also cut down all the fuel expenses, which burn a big hole in our pockets.

The façade has been given a curvy look, which further gets enhanced with the cuteness it has to offer. Two wheels have been placed in the front while the rear has just one wheel. So, go on an E3WM scooter ride either alone or with your friends and I bet the experience will be nothing less than enchanting.

Super Sexy Roll






Say hello to the Rollerphone concept! At first glance it’s merely a wrist band that projects time, much like the Alessi Concept we saw earlier, but then you realize it’s actually a phone with a retractable transparent screen at the base. How high-tech! It features perfect ergonomics and anthropometry in design thanks to customization – meaning the screen unfurls only to the tip of your fingers, so basically it give you a good fit between the ear and the mouth.

Besides the obvious features found in the latest cellphones, Rollerphone boasts of an enviable media centre. You can watch videos, chat online, play games, read books and listen to music. It’s going to be hard parting with a phone like this, who wouldn’t want their entire digital world on their wrist!
