Scooters and Electric bicycles they are fast becoming a popular means of transport in large cities due to their ability to avoid traffic jams, their compact size and their environmental benefits. The Indonesian designer Fajar Ismail and its “STELLAR” electric scooter concept provide new insights for the development of the city mobility market.
Designed mainly as a personal scooter for small and medium distances, STELLAR also includes a small solar panel as an additional charging system, to extend its autonomy and always have a small "reserve" available. According to Ismail (and also in my opinion) this arrangement would be ideal especially for tropical areas, or those with enough hours of sunshine per day. Just one comes to mind: Southeast Asia, right Ismail?
A scooter… stellar. Or solar?
Nomen Omen, the ancient Romans said. And in fact STELLAR is inspired by a space vehicle. It has a “layered” shape and a lightweight metal body made of bent aluminum plates. The design is actually based on the chassis of the Quest Atom Alpha EV, a platform that explores the potential of various form factors in relation to electric scooters.
Consider it a personal reinterpretation of the theme.
The Indonesian industrial designer has in fact added several new features to improve both driving comfort and vehicle efficiency. Among the additional specifications you can see a double spring fork, a splash guard cover for the headlights (which give the scooter a something of Number 5, the robot from "Corto Circuit"), a spring seat and other bells and whistles.
Here is a visual overview of the details:
