Looking like something out of the movie ‘Tron’, the ‘Levitation’ bicycle, designed by Michael Strain, aims to produce “clean, healthy, sustainable energy” on a community scale.
Built from ‘HI-MACS’, an “ultra-strong and light” acrylic material, the bicycle will feature a USB 3.0 port that can charge your devices on the go.
It is also equipped with a mobile WiFi hotspot, ensuring that you stay connected, no matter where you go.
The energy created during cycling is stored in high capacity batteries, allowing you to plug that energy back into the grid later on.
Strain claims that, “the benefits of Levitation are exponential, from less carbon emissions during commutes, to healthy living, to producing free zero-carbon energy.”
Thus, the name Levitation: you can live and ride without ‘touching’ the earth.
