Raptor: A mobility scooter convertible for multiple purposes
Raptor is most characterized by its body configuration—the upper and lower parts are detachable from each other.
Raptor is a three-wheeled platform mobility scooter featuring kaleidoscopic transformation. With the upper design unit swapped, Raptor will have its shape and functions reconfigured for many different purposes. The upper and lower parts are joined by a unique coupler unit that enables secure and easy connection of mechanical structures. This mechanism allows creators and entrepreneurs in many fields to easily and freely produce brand-new mobility tools by developing Raptor-compatible design units. Being a mobility platform, Raptor will go far beyond the concept of vehicles—it will produce new businesses and cultures, bringing drastic change and growth to the world of mobility infrastructure.
