Afgangsprojekt

”Min vision er at bidrage til løsninger på verdensomspændende udfordringer. For mig er design kun meningsfuldt, hvis det tjener et formål, gør en forskel for andre eller har en poetisk kvalitet.” - Simone Kirk Aarup

”Som designer føler jeg et ansvar for at tage hensyn til vores påvirkning af planeten, og jeg har dermed en særlig interesse i at arbejde med bæredygtighed på en måde, der inspirerer innovative designløsninger.” - Julie Skerning

Tohjulede ladcykler er mere agile, fylder mindre på cykelstien og er nemmere at manøvrere end trehjulede ladcykler. Men mange mennesker fravælger den tohjulede af frygt for ikke at kunne balancere den. Ved at tilføje Flex hjul, der er et starterhjul, som kan slås til og fra efter behov, har designerne gjort cyklen lettere for både dem, der er nye på den tohjulede og dem, der skal balancere med meget last i ladet. Det modulære design appellerer til flere, fordi det kan tilpasses skiftende behov og dermed øge antallet af år, ladcyklen får i den enkelte brugers liv.

"As a designer, I feel a responsibility to consider our impact on the planet, and therefore, I have a particular interest in working with sustainability in a way that inspires innovative design solutions." - Julie Skerning

Two-wheeled cargo bikes are more agile, take up less space on the bike lane, and are easier to maneuver than three-wheeled cargo bikes. However, many people choose not to ride the two-wheeled option out of fear of not being able to balance it. By adding the stabilizing Flex wheelsthat can be turned on and off as needed, the designers have made the bike more accessible for both new to two-wheeled bikes and those who need to balance heavy loads in the cargo area. The modular design appeals to a wider audience because it can be customized to accommodate changing needs, thus extending the lifespan of the cargo bike for each individual user.
