WHEELSON
National Winner of James Dyson Award 2019 (Singapore)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Wheelson is a modular trolley attachment for bicycles that helps improve ride stability of cyclists when carrying heavy loads, whilst doubling as a convenient trolley intended for grocery shopping and daily commuting.
DESIGN MOTIVATION
Choices for mode of load transportation within moderate distances include walking, cycling and using public transport. Cycling is a great choice for travelling moderate distances as it is convenient and effortless while being very cheap. However, using bicycles to transport loads can prove to be difficult. Placing loads on a bicycle not only makes it uncomfortable to cycle, it also hinders our ability to handle the bicycle safely.
