The »CityCruiser II« formally, technically and conceptually improves velotaxi’s prototype from the year 2000, which was also designed by gewerkdesign. This new generation of vehicles is characterized by a modular cabin and a flexible chassis, transforming the muscle-driven, freight tricycle into a sport-and-lifestyle device. The velotaxi is made of polyethylene and becomes a delivery and shop vehicle when the back part of the cabin is replaced and the chassis is contracted. It is available as an e-bike and can be equipped with solar panels for charging the batteries. In addition to the carriage’s practical advantages – providing advertising space – the velotaxi has become a sympathetic and popular icon in the city traffic of Berlin. Implementing an alternative concept of transportation, it is known all over the world as the very symbol of eco-friendly transportation.
