GabyAmerican inventor of Chinese descent Shane Chen has unveiled the concept of a new electric vehicle named after himself – SHANE. The car, covered in a glossy finish, moves on two large wheels and features doors that open upwards like a mollusk shell.
The author of the development positioned his creation as practical, maneuverable, and energy-efficient. car for everyday use in the city and on the highway.
A car that looks into the future.
At first glance, the electric car gives quite a chilling impression. It seems as if the doors swallow five passengers without a trace, like the mouth of a fantastical creature. But then it becomes clear that the futuristic design of the vehicle actually shouts reliability and safety. It reveals a sense of mischief and childlike wonder.
Take at least the LED strips on the wheels that spin playfully while moving. Or the front metal semi-bumper: it gives the impression that the car is smiling.
Thanks to the fact that the wheels electric car They can rotate 360 degrees, allowing for easy maneuvering and parking in tight spaces.
When you look at an innovative car, it’s hard to understand how its body, supported on a single wheel axle, doesn’t tip backward or forward. On his website, Shane Chen succinctly explained this with the laws of physics. He stated that “the displacement of the center of gravity of the SHANE relative to the wheels counteracts the braking moment, keeping the car level and making it just as stable and safe as a four-wheeled vehicle.”
Inside, neither the steering wheel nor the pedals are visible. This only indicates one thing: this electric vehicle is driverless and autonomous. Between the front-row passengers, a compact control panel can be seen. The rear section features a spacious trunk that also opens upwards, the publication reported. Designboom .
And one more very important point: energy efficiency. The thing is that the wheels are equipped with regenerative shock absorbers, which allow for energy savings in damping to charge the battery.
“I was excited to create the concept of an energy-efficient vehicle with two wheels that can move at high speeds,” Shane Chen proudly stated. He hopes that his electric vehicle will become a reality in the future, just like the two-wheeled board – the hoverboard.
