Story

PET MINI (Personal Electric Transport) was developed based on the growing importance of creating participatory approaches to design. By using the potential of Open Design we can easily prototype and distribute design's at a global scale while promoting local manufacturing and problem solving. We were grateful to get the recycled plastic PP sheet's from Precious Plastic HQ for the first prototypes, they were machined by a CNC router to obtain the skateboard deck. Mechanical parts were 3D printed to speed up prototyping phase, as the parts were manufactured at a local Fab Lab, VIVALab, so it can easily be replicated at any of the 2,000 Fab Lab's from the global network.
