    The idea of this Bicycle design was to create a form that should be able to serve the physical and psychological expectations of the adolescent as he grows.

    The final concept for the design was made focusing on below points:
    - Mechanism design for the extended usability and value addition.
    - Form incorporating this mechanism that could convey the change as the evolution, respecting the expectations of the direct user, the adolescent.

    The aim of the project was to understand a bicycle, user(s) psychology and then explore the new possibilities of extending usability by value addition to the existing product. And finally, evolve a 'form' that may incorporate the function and emotion.



    Different design concepts explored during the process were:
    - Design concepts having a mild or conventional visual vocabulary.
    - Design concepts with futuristic and unconventional visual vocabulary.
    - Design concepts within existing image with a futuristic or unconventional visual vocabulary.

    The Mechanism Design developed was based on following details:
    - Why wheel base extension?
    - Stages of evolution.
    - The seat height adjusting mechanism.
    - The maintenance of rake angle.
