The conceptual 'TAKEME' trike has been designed as a transportation for consumers who require a bit of assistance when going out for a walk or heading to the store. The tricycle boasts a folding design that looks like a traditional shopping trolley unit to make it perfect for carrying essentials when it isn't needed for riding. If the person feels fatigue or has more shopping than they care to pull, the unit can transform into a ride-on vehicle with the shopping container under the seat for optimal efficiency.
The conceptual 'TAKEME' trike is the design work of Kinson Chan, Ronsben Huen and Rice Mak, and is the winner of the Red Doc Design Concept Award for 2018.
