VIKA/ The foldable bike project
(2021) In Diploma work IDEL01 20201Industrial Design
- Abstract
- This project is an exploration of how to create a foldable bicycle made of paper. The decision to develop a foldable, sustainable and hopefully affordable, paper bicycle came from frustrating experiences with several heavy and bulky foldable bicycles on the market. Paper as a material was chosen with the help from a Paper Cellulose expert named Heikki Sojjaka.
Form and function exploration with sketches led to a 3D CAD-model mainly made of paper, unfortunately the project could not be fully realized due to the Covid-19 pandemic the project became virtual.
Hopefully the project will continue with tests of the paper as a material and lead to a product that can aid people around the world by being cheap, compact and made with local material.
