takuto ohta reimagines the japanese child-carrying mamachari bicycle as a chair
Briefly

By conceptualizing the mamachari bicycle as a chair, Takuto Ohta aims to tackle urban and societal problems by transforming our interactions with bicycles.
The low-speed mamachari bicycles with child seats highlight urban planning challenges in Japan and the lack of family-friendly transportation options in residential areas.
Ohta's design interventions focus on safety by positioning the child's weight behind the front handle axis, creating a stable center of gravity.
Recognizing historical gender norms in bicycle design, Ohta emphasizes the need for inclusivity and a broader user base in future designs.
