When we live in urban area, our mobility can be deeply impacted. Magray Project aims to improve micro mobility especially in a dense urban area in more sustainable way. This little device promises a compact and environmentally conscious micro vehicle that allows single user to travel easier in short yet unwalkable distances. It can be categorized into a new category: Glide.
The main frame of this vehicle is made of 3D-printed aluminum, it is recyclable and can be manufactured and engineered through a generative design process, this way it reduces excess material from where it’s not needed. The outer body is constructed out of detachable parts which are customizable and made of Chitin.
Magray Micro Mobility by NOS Design Studio features drive-by-wire system powertrain controlled by a central “CPU” where user can easily control each wheel independently. It means that rider can enjoy a 360-degree omnidirectional sensation. Controlled remotely via a smartphone, Magray’s airless tires are made of 8 identical solid parts, which means that when broken, only 1 of 8 tires needs to be replaced. The suspension is made with single piece membrane string structure using natural elastomers through generative design.
The top area comes with solar charging surface that transmits energy directly into a lithium battery pack in the center of this unit. Magray is equipped with contactless induction platform underneath to charge indoors when needed. This micro vehicle provides an option to travel in comfortable, enjoyable, and sustainable manner. Ideally for urban commuters who have limited space, the compact shape of Magray makes it easy to keep or carry wherever you go.
