GeelyMcCar

As the years pass the world population grows older and the cities grow denser, there is the issue of city congestion, so a lot of cities have cut of the traffic in the main center squares and main roadways. They are also introducing high taxes for the cars that are going to be used in those parts. So, recently, there has been a boom in concepts for vehicles that are named “last mile”, concepts based on two or three wheel drive, mainly based on electricity. This boom was first introduced by Segway with their two wheel electric transport vehicle. On this scene now comes the Chinese company Geely, which has introduced a lot of design concepts in the last years.

Geely has made one of the most brilliant concept cars that have ever turned up on the market. The GeelyMcCar (also known as a Magic Car or Motorcycle Car), is their peak of engineering. It is a compact car that is a four-seater, two-door car, with a built in scooter that can be folded and placed in the car. The amazing thing is that this scooter can supply its torque to the car itself, making it a four wheel drive. When you dock the scooter, the car connects to it and shares the electric motor and battery charging the scooter, at the same time using its motor. This concept has two versions; one is for the three wheel scooter and another one for an electric chair, for handicapped people. The cars’ concept is made, so it can work on two kinds of power plants, a fully electric motor, or a hybrid.

This concept is how the future should look like, breaking the barriers of traditional car designs. Recently this company even introduced the second version of the McCar that has sleeker lines and is even more appealing, so it will surely become the next big hit in China.
