Australian designer Simon Colabufalo has put all his innovation and ingenuity into use to bless his home town of Melbourne with a new public transportation system. Taking the classic means of communication, the tram into the next level, the “Metropia” is a tram vehicle concept that is powered by electric energy. The two-seater vehicle moves on a single rubber ball that allows great flexibility and mobility.
This red colored fan-like trolley powered by an electric motor running on power cell, housed within the ball for a lower center of gravity and superior handling docks itself inside a specially designed tram to become a part of public transportation. In order to provide the next user with this unique facility, the Metropia recharges automatically while docked inside these trams.
