IV-1 Recyclable Plastic Bike

This plastic bicycle designed to be fully recyclable. By Matt Clark. He is a young industrial designer from Southern California. His IV-1 (for Innervision 1) bike polypropylene frame looks cool!
This bicycle prototype is aimed at improving and solving multiple issues involved in production. Particular attention was paid to maximize the potential utilization of automated processes and more cost efficient materials (IE: plastics).
The bicycle consists entirely of reinforced and unreinforced recyclable polypropylene. The patent-pending bicycle features a two component
frame: the plastic INNERFRAME and the plastic outer structure, both (in this iteration) dual components sets. Ideally, the material would be sourced from recycled plastic sources (IE: previously used consumer products such as bottles, containers, etc) to reduce environmental impact and to reduce material costs.
If any of you have questions or want more information about the design, you can contact Matt directly by email.

X-bike

Introduce a bike, The X-bike. This was to have small wheels 每 essential elements when trying to save weight and space on a folding bike.
> The frame 每 two main frame elements fold in a scissor action by a skew joint. This allows the wheels to fold side by side.
> Steering 每 this was by auto-tensioned cables via variable ratio pulleys. These provide a good steering feel to hub-centre steering.
> Drive 每 this was by internal belt or miniature chain.
> Construction 每 this uses injection-moulded long fibre carbon and glass shells ultra-sonically welded together. Fusible core, foam and gas injection technologies were also used.
> Tyres 每 solid tyres were developed as an option with PU versions performing better than pneumatic equivalents.
This project was undertaken in collaboration with David Southward (CCL founder) and Shaun Househam. More Pics.
