Visions of Tomorrow – Balanced

Impatience in road traffic can lead to unpleasant situations, especially when a journey is unexpectedly interrupted. The moment of standstill is often unintentional and frustrates drivers who just want to get to their destination quickly. This often results in drivers running red lights, dangerous situations on pedestrian paths, the risk of falling due to abrupt braking or wobbling balancing movements when trying to keep their balance.



The aim of the project is to create a much smoother cycling experience. With the idea of “pausing instead of interrupting”, we want to turn impatience into determination.

A bike that allows you to stop without having to get off or put your feet on the ground, thus creating a continuous movement process. In addition, a specific motorized impulse should make it easier to start off.

The user-oriented and holistic approach offers the potential to change our behavior and experience in road traffic in the long term. To this end, technical principles of stabilization formed the basis for the various concepts, which were evaluated through rapid testing on paper and directly on the bike.

The design includes both a version for mounting on existing bikes and a fully integrated new bike frame.



Both versions have integrated supports that extend parallel to the rear wheel and immediately provide stability. While the feet remain on the pedals, the saddle also moves down and shifts the center of gravity downwards, providing additional stability and giving the rider a sense of feedback.



Time to check the weather app and then get your rain jacket out of your backpack - then off you go.



As the feet have remained on the pedals during the standstill, you can start pedaling again immediately while the saddle automatically returns to the starting position. The integrated energy storage enables an assisted start, which makes the start both smooth and powerful.


Another exciting feature is that you can stand and lock your bike safely in the city without the need for a bike rack and without any additional support.
