With the world moving towards a greener future, everything from our houses to gadgets to clothing to vehicles is going green. We see thousands of new eco-friendly products entering the market every day. Only a few make a mark and this innovative trike here is one such item. Designed by Buenos-Aires based industrial designer Fernando Ponce, the electric bi-directional tricycle is one beauty you would definitely want to try your hands on. Making it stand above the rest is it middle frame. How do you expect a middle frame to be in any conventional trike? Well, obviously a steel frame with an interesting design. But, what do we see here? The regular steel frame has been replaced with a sandwich of wood panels.

The wooden panel hides in it the frame and also holds the batteries efficiently. The internal hub motor located in the front wheel gives the trike the power to climb up the toughest terrains. It is controlled with a handle grip. The looks are something to die for, not only does it promise a comfortable ride, but is also safe for the environment. It will give all the bike enthusiasts a run for their money.
