So you thought scooters were anachronistic, antiquated, downright outdated? Here’s news for you! Peugeot Motorcycles and DesignVillage think differently and want this class of vehicle carry on into the third millennium, perhaps with greater magnetism. There’s an international contest going on on the website with the theme of “Designers and design about the scooter and his image referred to the third millennium teenager”. There is clearly an attempt to project this mode of transport in futuristic and visionary ways. Anaxyrides is an entry by an Italian designer, Federico Bergese. The concept scooter has the characteristic good looks of a concept vehicle and simultaneously in terms of description too it stands out. Marrying the green movement with designing elegance, Anaxyrides is a remarkable vision.
A low-emission engine works on LPG, making Anaxyrides perfect for the urban scenario. The propulsion system is state-of-the-art and the sleek body is made of light and versatile materials. The design epitomizes lightness and deftness. Everything unnecessary is removed to make Anaxyrides an eye-candy. Among other evolutions proposed are mono-shock front and glove compartments at the level of platforms and not under the saddle. A slew of green features top the cherry on this concept with ABS reformed hulls, polymer-based polyurethane and tires of plant origin. You dismissed scooters all right, well, Anaxyrides is the new avatar. Scooters will be back, with vengeance!
