Gusto is a start up brand who builds carbon fiber bicycles for sportive and recreational segments of the high-end bicycle market. The goal of this project is to design an urban bicycle that fits into the future (2020) Chinese megacities context and mobility needs. The target group of this project was pre-defined and is focused on metropolitan white-collar workers. The design considers Gusto's environmental care mission and vision, in order to be able to enhance the brand awareness and strengthen the brand image.

After a series of researches, it shows that current Gusto's product lines are away from its brand vision. To achieve the brand vision, a new extra line should be developed. According to the researches, the target group needs an urban mobility with the following characters: 'Dry & clean', 'Low physical effort moving' and 'Easy & Comfortable & Speedy.' Thus, Gusto should propose an E-bike to the consumers to fulfill all of the characters what they need.

'Helping metropolitans to have and enjoy comfortable and unrestricted cycling experiences in their daily life' is the goal of the design. Once, while they are appreciating this easy personal urban mobility, they DO contribute to environmental sustainability.

Orcinus, create by the Dutch ChangIDesign of Sheng Chieh Chang, is a full-size folding smart E-bike, designed for urban mobility use. The metropolitans can use it for commutes between home and office, with less effort. After works, it can be used for exercises and social activities as well.

Orcinus provides comfortable and unrestricted cycling experiences to metropolitans' daily life, which is inspired from the freely swimming of an Orcinus Orca in the ocean. With Orcinus, the users can move in the city in the most easy, clean, safe and speedy way.

The hidden electronic system and slender shape is appealing to those who are reluctant to ride common E-bikes due to their bulky shapes. The Smartphone-integrated System of Orcinus builds the bridge system for social networks between the users and the dynamic city environments. The user can get connected easily with others and the city.

Orcinus use an invisible and ultra-light electric motor, that works together with Nuvinci continously variable transmisión internal gear hub, trough a Gates Carbon Drive Belt System. It also has a pair of lights installed on the bar-ends, they are automatically switched on when Orcinus is moving forward. An Active Approaching Warning Signal helps the cyclists to increase the conspicuity when they are in the blind spots of other vehicles.The lights on the bar-ends will flash and project light on the car when the two distance sensors detect the car is too close to the bike.
