Two-wheelers, in our case scooter pilots, are almost always the disadvantaged in urban traffic battles when it comes to safety. Italdesign Giugiaro has patented a new concept that allows scooter riders to sit more safely in the saddle.

Back protector as standard

The main part of the concept is a seat shell that acts as a kind of cocoon. The shell primarily protects the back and rump in the event of a fall. At the same time, with an integrated neck support, it is intended to alleviate the overstretching of the neck in the event of a rear impact and, in the event of a fall on the shoulder, also alleviate the impact there a little.

The most important part of the concept, however, is the planned four-point belt, with which the driver is firmly held in the seat. There is also a system that holds the helmet to the neck pad, depending on the type of accident. Control is carried out by an ECU with an intelligent algorithm. Furthermore, the ECU can release the seat holder, for example to enable the driver to lean into the curve or to allow the seat to swing freely in the event of an impending impact.

Activate the ejection seat

In extreme cases, the control also releases the entire bracket for the seat shell so that the driver and seat can separate from the scooter. As an ejection seat, so to speak. For example, falls at higher speeds could be shortened with longer sliding phases for the driver.

Anything that increases security is welcome.

They haven’t lost anything on the motorcycle.

Conclusion

Buckled up on a scooter for more safety is still known from the BMW C1, the success of which was manageable despite the elimination of the helmet requirement. Italdesign cannot abolish the helmet requirement with its patent, but takes safety to a new level with belts, seat pan and ejection seat.
