Elektor OSPV1
An open source vehicle project
Last year we launched the Elektor Wheelie, a self-balancing personal transport device. In this issue we take you for a spin with the new Open Source People Vehicle 1 (OSPV1). Our new Elektor OSPV1 is based on the same concept, but with the difference that it’s for indoors, it’s easy to steer, it’s light and foldable, it’s open source, and it looks smart.
