Trampe – Elevator for bicycles

After PARÁ had read the article on A DRIVER'S SEAT TO the BICYCLE in the azuribike, I did not hold out investigating any more on the subject and doing a post on this brilliant idea “made in Noroega”.

The Trampe is the first elevator of the world drawn for bicycles, the prototype was manufactured in 1993 in the city Trondheim, and it keeps on working.

To be able to be in use this elevator there has to be bought a card that has a determined number of travels, the value paid for the card can be deducted then in the alguer of a bicycle.

“To catch driver's seat” of the elevator it is put a foot out of the bicycle, introduce the card, and one overdoes the button. While overdoing the button a platform "goes out" where the foot is put, while moving this platform is our driver's seat …

I leave to you here more some photos and a video that shows the system in action.

    Undoubtedly a beautiful example "ecomobility" to be implemented in the most inclined streets of our cities, this is not a mirage.
