Scrooser is Lifestyle with pioneering spirit. As a completely new vehicle category, Scrooser fulfills all demands of modern mobility in the urban environment and puts it in a nutshell. Its design is reduced to the bare essentials. The heart of the Scrooser is an electric motor (up to 1,000 W) that is integrated into the back wheel which makes it invisible for the viewer. Best of all, the team developed the intelligent impulse drive. Similar to a Pedelec, but without the pedals, the engine remembers the physical “kick-impulse” of the rider and supports him according to that. Scrooser is allowed to be driven on the sidewalk and you don’t need a driver license or a helmet. The hand-made product delights all senses distinctively but without being intrusive.

Don’t you feel you just NEED to try it? We do!

We are all really excited about the last days of the Smart Mobility Contest and of course about the winners’ decision workshop on the 6th of August.

Use the chance right now to contribute with your favourite innovation and mobility solution and win one of the unique prizes of the Smart Mobility Contest. We are looking forward to your participation!

Win-Win innovative and eco-buses - Why not being sportive and producing energy while traveling by bus?

The idea “Win Win innovative and eco-buses” may be considered as a mobile mini training center which would be very attractive and convenient especially to people who are spending many hours on transportation and instead would prefer to use that time for physical exercises. The major challenge for such buses is to design a comfortable and still appropriate environment for effective exercises.  Theoretically it is possible to expect that this produced energy could be sufficient enough to power the bus and therewith could be considered as totally environmentally friendly.  In any case, the accumulated energy could be transferred and used for other services like charging the passengers phones

ePaddle: electric propulsion for longboarder - Riding downhill all the time?

The idea for a drive unit for longboards originated in summer 2013. Inspired by Stand Up Paddling, the HYVE designers conceived a device for the electric propulsion of sports devices for long boarders, surfers and inline skaters regardless of being a beginner or complete professional.

The ePaddle delivers an impressive high force of acceleration. It is very easy to handle and if you can skate, it takes you 10 seconds to develop enough skills to have fun. Speed up to 25 mph is possible. The throttle is provided by a simple push button just like the Carrera toy race cars. You can use the ePaddle one handed, which gives you maximum freedom for carving – as soon as you are on minimum speed you can start the one hand mode. The limits and possibilities of the product are still developed. Going uphill is easy and absolutely feasible. The major killer feature is to have “downhill-like” riding fun on flat grounds. The downhill speed mark of about 100 mph will not be cracked this year … the good work will be continued!

In Munich the police is notorious for fining people at night who cycle without lights. That’s why almost everyone cycles with turned-on lights in the darkness. Immense numbers of kilowatts are produced and wasted that way night by night in Munich. So, the idea presented here by Martin from Munich is simple, smart and offers an obvious solution: generating and storing power while riding a bike

The challenge of the idea is that moving bikes should be equipped with the same technical facilities as stable spinning bikes in the gyms. The outcome would be a perfectly sustainable and intelligent solution to convert human power into electricity.

Do you want to support Martin’s idea? Join the contest, give him your vote and inspire us with your vision of a sustainable future mobility. We are looking forward to your participation!

An excellent idea in the category e-Mobilty was submitted by Dor Marian. He envisions a concept that includes electrical cars, renewable energy production, energy efficiency and also economic efficiency. Again energy supply is in focus and this time it is about charging electrical cars at solar energy stations that can also feed energy into the grid. According to the availability of solar power that varies during the days and seasons, drivers get special prices and decide whether they charge their cars at that point of time or they choose to come later. Prices get higher when too little solar power is available and additional energy has to be pulled from the grid.

Dor Marian is happy to receive feedback and to further discuss the concept. He invites everyone for a constructive brainstorming session!

As you see, the “Smart City Solutions” Contest is an opportunity for creative minds and innovative businesses to share their alternative concepts and ideas for a smarter mobility. What are your ideas?

It is worth participating! Become part of the community, share your ideas and concepts, win inspiring prizes and help the cities to shape our future: “Smart City Solutions”.

I hope to see you soon!
