Single-Wheeled Modular Concepts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nao.Design Creates the NAO.WHEEL Transport Concept

— October 23, 2024 — Art & Design
Nao.design introduces a look at the NAO.WHEEL, which is a futuristic transport concept that is space-saving. It measures just under 2 feet in height and a few inches thick. When users step on the wheel, it uses a gyroscope to find balance and brings them from one destination to another.

For a safer approach, two NAO.WHEELs can snap together on the sides and work as a hoverboard. Alternatively, it can snap together at the back and front and function like an electric scooter with a platform in between to stand on top of. The team at Nao.design has described the NAO.WHEEL as “micro-mobility, macro convenience.” It comes in pairs with a left and right side but can also be used independently.
