Dragonfly Hyperscooters offer a new way to travel with power and style

Posted on by

Personal mobility devices have become more popular and sought-after over the past few years. Whether it’s to escape traffic congestion or as a means to reduce the reliance on fuel-chugging cars, vehicles like electric scooters and electric bikes have become en vogue among certain classes of people and commuters. But just like foot-powered bicycles, the applications of such personal transporters are limited to the terrain, their motors, and most especially, their batteries. Given how these devices balance you on two wheels while standing, it’s probably for the best that they aren’t able to go all out in speed and range. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s not possible to push the envelope, and that’s exactly the kind of upgraded experience that D-Fly’s hyperscooters are offering both in terms of performance and aesthetics.

As the name suggests, hyperscooters are to e-scooters what hypercars are to regular cars. The name screams performance, at least within their particular category of transportation. One look at these Dragonfly electric scooters will be enough to send the message that this isn’t your run-of-the-mill battery-powered transporter. It is one that’s clearly made to go beyond the limits of e-scooters, with a futuristic motif to match is forward-looking capabilities.

Patented 3-Dimensional Full-Tilt Steering System – Intuitive way to steer by engaging all 4 wheels at once.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Dragonfly is that it has four wheels instead of just two. Like a cross between a scooter and a car, these four wheels, each with 10-inch pneumatic tires, offer better stability and reliability, especially when running on difficult terrain. D-Fly’s patented three-dimensional Full-Tilt Steering System makes controlling those four wheels easy and intuitive. In addition to the typical turning of the handlebar, this novel technology syncs the hyperscooter with the rider’s movements, allowing simple tilts to control the ride with more precision.

With two more wheels than normal, you’d expect the Dragonfly to offer more power, and it definitely doesn’t disappoint. Powered by two 550W motors, these powerful e-scooters boast top speeds of 25 mph (40 km/h) and a range of 49.7 miles (80 km) on a full charge.

Despite that speed, the hyperscooters are still designed with safety and comfort in mind, thanks to a dual wishbone suspension and adjustable hydraulic damped spring suspensions for each wheel. Whether you’re zipping through highway traffic or riding through a challenging adventure, the Dragonfly Hydroscooter will get you from A to B quickly and safely.

Dragonfly DF

Dragonfly DFX

The Dragonfly Hydroscooter comes in two variants to match your need for speed and style. The standard Dragonfly or DF model is best for urban roads and parks with a more streamlined design that more closely resembles conventional e-scooters, except for the fact that it has four wheels. The Dragonfly X or DFX, on the other hand, is made for speedsters and adventurers with its wider fender and hand guards. Whichever model you choose, you will get an eye-catching electronic scooter whose handsome looks testify to its power.

As mobility becomes more complicated and congested, the need for personal mobility devices will continue to rise. So, too, does will the need for more advanced transportation options that will fit the needs of people, both in terms of power and looks. Starting at around $1879 for the DF model and $2242 for the DFX variant, the Dragonfly Hyperscooters push the envelope of electric scooters, ushering in a new era of e-mobility.

Foldable electric scooter with its clean, user-friendly design is the ultimate modern mobility solution

Designer Fatih Avci conceptualized a foldable electric scooter for city residents, equipped with a swivel front wheel, smartphone holder, and a place to store your goods.

For city residents, electric scooters can be lifesavers. They help us get to destinations in walking cities faster than our feet can and they’re inexpensive alternatives to other urban mobility designs, like electric bicycles or mopeds. They’ve taken over city sidewalks and can even be taken on the road so you can ride alongside the cars.

While the e-scooters’ lightweight design and slim nature make them a convenient choice, storing them can complicate things. Solving this, designer Fatih Avci conceptualized a foldable electric scooter that’s equipped with a swivel front wheel and hook for storing items like groceries.

Avci’s electric scooter sports the same build as a conventional electric scooter, keeping an upright handlebar and wide footrest. However, a look closer reveals all of the hidden features his scooter concept has to offer. To solve the issue of storing electric scooters in cramped city spaces like the metro and small apartments, Avci built a folding mechanism into his design. His concept allows users to fold the e-scooter at 90-degrees via a hinge point near the scooter’s front wheel.

Moving to the handlebar, Avci outfitted his e-scooter concept with an area to store your smartphone so you can easily see it when following a GPS. Shaped like a traditional scooter’s handlebar, Avci also ensured easy maneuverability by integrating a swivel front wheel that can change direction in a short period of time. Finally, near the center of the e-scooter’s handlebar beam, Avci conceptualized a hanger that unfurls to provide a spacer to store carry-on items like grocery bags or even a purse.

This skateboard’s modular form is designed to address the problem of our aging population

A kick-scooter like personal commuter designed for future cities in 2040 where flexible modes of mobility will be cherished by the users. Stria fulfills that gap with intuitive design ideation keeping in mind the elderly population too.

Urban mobility is one thing all the sharp minds are trying to streamline and make easier for the end-user as well as bystanders. Hence comes into the picture this mindfully designed e-mobility solution by Hong Kong-based product and industrial designer, Cathy Wong. It is more than just another personal mobility solution aimed at crowded cities. Sometimes such designs make me wonder how different the future will be in a decade or two.

The concept design dubbed Stria is an electric mobility (EMD) vehicle that looks much like a skateboard. The design itself is a two-part system for shared mobility, bringing the personal commuter right to your doorstep, and when you’re done it can be returned back. The first is the actual mobility device which is modular in a way to address different mobility needs. There are four modes to choose from – Sport, Commute, Support, and Companion.

The Sport mode is for active individuals who want to leverage maximum speed and control while riding on the streets courtesy of the lean-to-control configuration. The second is the commute mode targeted for casual riders who want to get to the supermarket in the least time possible without much fuzz, thanks to a grab bar for increased riding stability. The Support mode is for elderly people as it has thigh-leaning support so that the elderly rider or disabled person doesn’t experience body fatigue. In fact, this mode is the reason for the idea to have propped up as Cathy wanted to design a personal mobility solution for the aging population of Hong Kong. The Companion mode acts as a prop while walking and stowing for safe storage indoors.

The designer envisions Stria to be powered by a double brushless motor – the first motor activates while riding and the second one sets into action for smaller movements. The second part of the concept is the movable shuttle-like charging station (smaller than your hatchback car) where all the EDM’s are stored and disinfected for the next commute. The shuttle drives around the block and suffices the need of customers as and when demanded via the compatible app. Cathy thinks of a future where designated wireless charging lanes would be built around the city to keep the personal commuter juiced up for long rides.
