MaricorMaricar Interview

The Vestri bike system concept designed by Charlwood Design is inspired by the environment of the modern city & uses wind power to sustain itself. Rental stations with vertical wind turbines are installed in the city. The Stations can generate power, lock bikes & transmit to a command centre. Users insert a credit card or a vestri card & borrow the unique bicycle. They can pre-book online, via sms or on the train. They can return it to a rental station with incentives in place such as credit towards a meal or a train ticket home to distribute bikes to high use areas. Since the turbines are not “on the grid” the stations can be relocated based on demand.
