A closer look at the Swiss Butterfly Micro Scooter
It only takes a second to flip open the mechanism to reveal the scooter inside, where the Butterfly is in its natural position and ready to ride
Article Summary
The winner of the James Dyson Award 2010 will be announced next week and there's just time for a closer look at one of the finalists, the Butterfly micro scooter. Taking inspiration from a collapsible umbrella, adding some street durability and clever engineering - and a touch of Mini styling - and the human-powered, portable urban transport solution is ready to ride. When folded, the scooter is small enough to fit inside a backpack or carried by hand but at the press of a button, flips open and extends out to a nifty three-wheeler.
