scott gilbert: o-lec


image: scott gilbert

the o-lec is a two-seat electric vehicle concept by english designer scott gilbert. the name o-lec is short
for online electric car, since the vehicle draws power from the road using inductive power transfer.
rather than charging up through a power cord or running on fuel cells, the car would take energy directly
from the surface it is driving on. the car can seat two people, one behind the other, and would be rented
out in urban centers for short-range driving. gilbert estimates a vehicle system like this could exist by
2030 as an alternative to standard fuel or battery powered vehicles.

This design has many fine merits. Good concept. The proportions are very nice. I'm not sure we should be pursuing hubless wheels anymore however.
Tom, your comment seems harsh. You must be an amazing designer.
