The Artikcar concept, designed by the British artist and designer Ben Wilson, will be featured in the Art Car Parade organized by the company Walk the Plank to be held in Manchester and Edinburgh.
The Artikcar is a small pedal-powered vehicle made out of steel tubing, it steers by leaning and uses an innovative technology to illuminate the car.
The design was inspired by the silhouette of wooden toy cars for children. Ben Wilson was one of three artists to be awarded commissioning money to create a mobile work of art, which will join the existing troupe of vehicles.
