Mario likes it: this electric bike is inspired by the Nintendo Switch.

“Here we go”.  The Covid-19 crisis has boosted certain uses, including video games and cycling. Now, is that reason enough to combine these two elements? It is less certain. But HTH Han , a Taiwanese designer, decided to do it anyway.

For a project, the young man took as a starting point the Nintendo Switch console of the Japanese firm. By taking the design codes of this one, and in particular the modular aspect of the console, HTH Han imagined the “Nintendo Switch Bike” , that is to say an electric bicycle inspired directly by a game console. The colors, the red and the blue, are the same and the ergonomics of the machine, with rounded shapes, again echoes the Japanese machine.

A gamers bike. To recall the gaming side, HTH Han has placed a button, like one could find on a controller, which allows you to disconnect the battery from the bike. A small screen displays the most essential information, such as battery level, speed or even the trip. And two headlights (front and rear) complete the package. On the other hand, the screen does not allow you to play Super Mario while driving, in particular for questions related to road safety. HTH Han's Nintendo bike is just a concept, but if one day the Japanese firm decides to embark on mobility, it will be able to draw inspiration from its work. Or better yet, hire the designer to create the vehicle.
