the backpack bicycle concept

the backpack bicycle concept



designer chang ting jen has added an extra element to the foldable bicycle concept - it folds into a backpack.
the bicycle when folded is 60cm long and weighs 5.5kgs, making it convenient for the user to carry. the main
frame of the bicycle is made from plastic. the backpack bicycle concept was developed to encourage people
to use bicycles in cities and relieve congestion.

The Fiat Smiles per Hour Design Competition - Getting from A to B needn’t be boring, just ask anyone who’s driven a Fiat. When we build our cars we use all our design and engineering knowledge into making them not just practical and economical, but also lots of fun. Now we’re looking for people who think the same way.

Do you have an idea that turns travelling around town into a journey of enjoyment? Or makes the daily commute a hoot? If so, enter our Smiles Per Hour Design Competition and you could win £50,000. We’ll also showcase your design at our prestigious flagship showroom in London.

To enter, register at www.fiat.co.uk/smiles. Competition open from 24th July until 22nd August 2008.
