A companion for strolls, trips or travel
A companion for strolls, trips or travel
“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, to gain all while you give, to roam the roads of lands remote, to travel is to live.” – Hans Christian Andersen (Danish Fairy Tale writer)
Mobility is obviously very near to our hearts at byACRE. It is at the core of modern life, and as such, a part of everyone’s life.
But mobility is not just being able to move around in the neighbourhood anymore. We are travelling and exploring more than ever these days, and the mobility design of the future should therefore enable travelling even more.
With the Carbon Ultralight we wanted to make a mobility design that was meant for both the short strolls and the trips around the world.
With the lightweight materials, easy folding, and sleek lines, it will easily fit in any car, train, boat or airplane, so you can keep discovering the world around you.
Dynamic shape – for speed and a stylish look
Our initial thoughts when designing the Carbon Ultralight was that the design had to be motivating, innovative and stylish.
At the same time, it had to be easy to manoeuvre and provide a smooth, fast and effortless ride. We therefore looked into sources of inspiration where these elements were present.
A part of the inspiration comes from the organic shapes of fast moving animals, such as dolphins, sharks and falcons.
A second inspiration comes from sports car and bicycle design, where dynamic shapes and lightweight materials are used to ensure smooth and fast rides.
Together, these two sources of inspiration formed the dynamic shapes found throughout the Carbon Ultralight. From the frame to forks holding the wheels, and the brake handles.
All for a look that is simple, sleek and stylish.
