Andrea Mocellin, a student at the Royal College of Art in London, designed the Audi Exo concept, a human powered vehicle that employs the latest exoskeleton and robotic technologies. The effort exerted by the driver is supplemented by a robotics system that multiplies input and reduces fatigue. According to Mocellin, “The target is to create a vehicle that takes us back to the basics of a physically engaging driving experience, but with an automotive quality in terms of materials and technologies.” Both the exterior design and method of propulsion are radical departures from traditional vehicles, though their viability improves as ecological concerns increase.

from bird’s eye view, it looks like a wireless mouse.
Landspeeder anyone?

How is this more ecologically sound than a bicycle?
Seriously, does anyone know what the actual “concept” is here? Beyond the fact that it looks like a mouse / spaceship? This is such bullshit.
Very Nice Styling!
So what if it resembles a mouse – it would be a really cool mouse!
I’d like to see the rendering with a person in it.
wait. what? no wheels… does it float? looks cool but as any engineer with an ounce of intelligence would say… what the hell.

Design harks back to the
1937 streamliner. Nice concept.
It’s a cool design and that’s it,doesn’t show any technical information or even driver’s seat or controls…and without another source of energy i don’t see how “robotics system that multiplies input and reduces fatigue”…it’s hard enough to cycle up the hill even with a really light bicycle!! so with this would be just impossible!!!
