the central frame of ‘monocart’ can be structured in one of three positions: ‘folded mode’, the two-wheeled ‘stand mode’, or the four-wheeled ‘open mode’. each configuration takes different accessories, ranging from open and closed storage containers to seating, to customize its use in a range of context.
