WAPO, Elliptical Tricycle

WAPO is a human-powered vehicle that combines the biomechanical efficiency of elliptical movement with the practicality of urban transportation. Developed at FADU (Universidad de Buenos Aires), the project was a formative exploration of how ergonomic research, form development, and production constraints interact in product design.

The tricycle was designed for urban environments — compact, efficient, and propelled by a full-body movement that distributes physical effort more evenly than conventional cycling.
