This minimal e-scooter perfectly fuses a retro LED display with a modern form!

Electric scooters can be pretty fun, granted you ever find the space to ride one in the hustling bustling cities of today! I’ve always associated scooters as something we kicked the dust with and used to transport ourselves from one place to another in our childhood. However, product designer Sinan Anayurt has managed to design an electric scooter quite different from the ones of yesteryears! The Dots and Lines Scooter functions as an electric personal transportation vehicle, with minimalism shining through. Anayurt adopted a very simple form language, linear and geometric, allowing it’s crisp and clean features to do the talking.

Designer: Sinan Anayurt

A long black handle perforated with dots and numbers in inches is followed by a rectangular board. The numbered handle helps us to measure the exact height that works for us. So even if we lend it to someone, we can always switch it back to our preferred height!

The board houses a magnetic charging input and an interchangeable battery. The battery can be easily charged, and also removed when needed from the little slot reserved for it on the board.

The electric motor which powers the vehicle and its cylindrical brakes are located on the rear wheel. In fact, amped with magnets, the brakes can be used to lock the scooter once it is folded. Yes, the scooter can be folded in half, when you’ve had your fill of riding it around!

Added bonus; the handles of the handlebar can be folded in half too!

However, the Dots and Lines Scooter’s most interesting feature is its handlebar. Equipped with programmed LED lights, all of them resembling dots might I add, a circular section (or more like a collection of dots) right in the center of the handlebar functions as a new medium of user interface, without the need for screens! The collection of LED dots light up and convey the necessary information to you. Inspired by smartwatches, the dots can be controlled using a turning frame, allowing you to switch it on and off, and switch from novice mode to sports mode! Novice mode allows you to reach 15km/hr (remember it’s a scooter), whereas Sports mode lets you travel at a much exciting 17km/hr.

The front of the handlebar has been equipped with a camera as well!

Probably one of my favorite features is the scooter’s Bluetooth connectivity! You can connect the scooter to your smartphone, and enlist GPS services to help you maneuver your way around, quite useful for all those who are rubbish at navigation without a bit of technical help, including me. The LED interface lights up, directing you in the correct direction, so you can slip your phone into your pocket. No navigating and riding! The front camera can be paired up with your smartphone to click some cool photos while in action.

And for when you’re finally sick and tired of your scooter, fold it up and take a walk, or just ride it manually! The options are unlimited, and some fresh air and physical exertion are guaranteed.

The TV that’s designed to look incredible and sounds immense!

We are often so fixated by the visuals presented on the screen of our television, that we can find ourselves dismissing the design that went into the device itself. Whilst this may seem unnecessary as we stare vacantly at the screen, the TV remains the centerpiece of the room even when it is turned off and all you see is a blank void.

Wave is a beautifully designed TV that makes for a decorative addition to the room even when it is not in use; the almost frame-less design balances upon the feature-full stand, where a central dial creates ripples in the translucent section, creating an element of visual suspense that elevates the design beautifully.

Wave doesn’t just look incredible, but it has been designed to sound immense, as well! A low-frequency subwoofer has been positioned in the center of the base; the sound that is generated is then scattered throughout television by multiplying through the surface!

“When devices are hidden behind the TV, thanks to the transparency of the glass, they do not lose their relationships with their controllers,” says Anayurt.

“The center body has all of the inputs that bring to the one point. With this body, cables are not going to be seen,” explains Anayurt.

Little Tractor for Big Jobs

Harman is a compact mini-tractor designed for use in small fields, big gardens or vineyards. The design brings a new perspective to small tractors that despite their small size, are able to handle great works. To do this, the vehicle was designed with 2 tracks that lead to 1 exit on the body instead of wheels, which made the vehicle fast and small. These tracks absorb impact with a specialized damper system, enabling the driver to work with the utmost comfort. The track structure also makes it possible for the vehicle can be controlled with a joystick instead of a wheel.

The working part of the vehicle exists primarily at the back of the body. The chasis’ front is heavier then the back to balance the weight. The vehicle’s total weight is 60% on the front without its additions and 50% when its loaded or with additions.
