Ant is a nanomobility vehicle
The ANT, an innovative design from Eugenio Costa, Giuliano Bonsembiante, Nicolò Tallone, and Edoardo Graci, is a groundbreaking approach to integrated mobility, showcasing a new paradigm in nanomobility. Unlike micromobility solutions, which focus on compact, independent vehicles, nanomobility emphasizes portability and ease of use, allowing the vehicle to remain energetically autonomous by depending on other transportation modes for energy.
This design philosophy makes it a vehicle that’s always ready to accompany users on last-mile journeys and proves remarkably adaptable in indoor spaces where maneuverability and compactness are crucial. The defining feature lies in its intelligently engineered handle, which not only inspires the vehicle’s name, drawing a parallel to the strength and efficiency of ants but also serves as the central hub for user interaction.
The handle facilitates seamless transitions from transportation to portability, allowing users to transport it effortlessly or use it as an extension of their own mobility. This core design component underlines an innovative approach that bridges the gap between user and machine, blending ease of use with functional aesthetics.
The engineering behind ANT’s folding mechanism ensures quick, straightforward transitions from closed to open positions, minimizing setup time and enhancing ease of use. The intuitive design offers clarity, making it an ideal companion for those in need of agile, on-demand mobility that integrates smoothly with public transportation or personal travel plans.
