NEW SOURCE OF ENTERTAINMENT, 'CRAB'
The youth will have fun with "Crab", a vehicle designed by İsmail Güneş Ötken, senior at IUE Department of Industrial Design. Crab, suited for a single person that is made out of polycarbonate body, can revolve around a fixed point and go sideways like a crab.
Ötken, who talked about his design, said that he aimed to develop an entertaining means of transportation for youth. He said, “My design Crab allows you to travel the direction you want. It is able to revolve around a fixed point with the help of rear wheels and move along on a horizontal axis. The wheels, which make up the most important part of the vehicle, allow high maneuverability even in the narrowest places thanks to the pull force exerted on the sides.”
‘Custom-Design Vehicle’
Ötken, who reported that his design had a flexible structure and it was made out of polycarbonate, said that he also developed a protective design for the battery which would be charged by electricity. Ötken said that the surface of the vehicle was suitable for putting graphics and stickers, thus making it more customized for the user.
