Aquaduct Concept Bicycle

Posted by toxit at 7:14 AM


This Aquaduct is a pedal-powered concept vehicle that transports, filters, and stores water to alleviate developing world water issues.




It is designed to address water sanitation and transportation in the developing world. The functional model was designed and constructed in three-weeks by five IDEO engineers and designers for the Innovate or Die contest, hosted by Specialized Bicycles, Google, and Goodby, Silverstein and Partners.





Using IDEO’s expertise in human-centered design, the Aquaduct team intends to evolve the concept into an economically and technologically viable solution to an issue that affects billions of people around the world.
