So what if you’re no longer a kid? If you’ve always loved cars, this gorgeous pedal-car should be your new mode of fun urban transport this year.
The two-seater SC-1 Biposto from the stables of Scuderie Campari, Italy, is an amazing mix of car and bike. And when it’s a velomobile that is sheer luxury on wheels, designed by the multi-award winning Christian Grande – specialising in nautical and automobile designs – you instantly know this vehicle offers you a taste of high life with a sportier mix of elegance and technology. The electrically assisted pedal-car has been inspired by vintage racing cars – precisely those of the 20s and 30s.The tapered body highlighted by the long bonnet, the wire-spoked wheels and a well-defined windshield – all with a modern touch – make this toy even more desirable. The historical references are reinterpreted in a contemporary way and enriched with high-tech details using the latest technology and modern forms. The increased width due to the two seats is offset by the tapered chassis, which gives the silhouette an elongated look that makes it appear to float suspended between the four diaphanous wheels. Also, the vehicle is ecological and healthy, besides being aesthetically pleasing.
