beabee

beabee by Andrea Filogonio from italy

designer's own words:

The concept design take inspiration by turtle carapace and legs. Turtles can walk pratically everywhere because they
have strong legs.
They also can retract their legs in case of danger and become smaller. Its shell is very hard and protective.
Now, make a jump and apply all that just said to the cities of tomorrow, very busy, but with an ambiental awareness,luxury accustomed, socially involved and technologically advanced.Look at the turtle stripe motive made with
high-powerleds.
In the night they look like diamonds,and you can adjust color and shape easily from board computer.
Elegant, shiny, customizable, comfortable,safe.
That's why I tought BEABEE, a small car for all people, with four wheels drive and retractable wheels.Every wheel has
its electrical engine, linked externally to the suspension. So every engine is at the same time : engine, suspension, brake,
steering. All driven by wire.
You can adjust your car height and suspension stiffness,to increase its performance. In case of small parking place,
and to save important space in the city, you can draw back the four wheels to have a shorter car.
And when you want, the same system allows you to run light offroad increasing car height, to go to the beach for
example, using 4 wheels drive.
If you want to save energy, you can drive with only two engines turned on. In the cities of tomorrow, you can recharge your batteries at every city street turn..isn't the truth?
Beabee is all made from recycled matter and is thought to be 100% recycled at the end of its life. BEABEE MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE IS :"TO BE ECOLOGICAL IS TRENDY IN THE NEW CITIES OF THIRD MILLENIUM"
