INDUSTRIAL DESIGN / DESIGN DIRECTION
2023–2025
CHOOSING ELECTRIC ASSISTANCE HAS TRADITIONALLY MEANT CHOOSING THE BICYCLE AROUND IT. SKARPER SEPARATES THE TWO, BRINGING ELECTRIC ASSISTANCE TO THE BICYCLE YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO RIDE.
THE DESIGN WAS DEVELOPED WITH SKARPER’S IN-HOUSE TEAM AROUND A CLEAR, RECOGNIZABLE FORM. THE CIRCULAR CONTROL HUB BECAME THE CORE OF THE PRODUCT, BRINGING TOGETHER THE PHYSICAL CONTROLS, STATUS FEEDBACK AND THE HANDLE USED TO CONNECT AND REMOVE THE DRIVE.
THE SAME APPROACH CARRIED INTO THE APP: A HYPER-SIMPLE INTERFACE WITH COLOUR-CODED ASSISTANCE MODES THAT CAN BE CHANGED WITH A SWIPE ANYWHERE ON THE SCREEN, KEEPING THE ESSENTIAL INFORMATION ACCESSIBLE AT A GLANCE WHILE RIDING.
