VW Pholeum By Alexei Mikhailov


Inspired by the living cell tissue system of a plant, which carries nutrients to all parts, designer Alexei Mikhailov has come up with a vehicle concept dubbed “VW Pholeum” that seems to explore the form of travel in the lifestyle of metropolitan cities. Designed to provide on-demand transportation access to a single passenger, the futuristic vehicle gives the feel of riding a bike or a chariot. Separating the wheelbase from the body, supporting diversified design experimentation and a new bold look, the VW Pholeum runs on fully immersed wheels, made from bio-degradable rubber, with in-depended spoke arrangements that absorb road bumps without the need of suspension and allows a comfortable ride. While on the other hand, the compact interior comprises the control steering pod with gas and brake paddles, allowing game-like controls to attract young and trendy passengers.
