Is this what the Hyundai of the future will look like? This concept was designed by Shane Baxley from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. It is called Aebulle ("aebulle" means "cocoon" in Korean) and represents a futuristic three-wheeler vehicle with an electric powertrain and a magnesium frame. "The main idea was to design a personal vehicle that delivers the mobility and speed of a motorcycle while offering the safety that a cocoon offers a butterfly. The Aebulle is targeted for the Los Angeles region where it would utilize the commuter lanes allowing its occupant a quick commute." The concept was designed to be powered by compact in-wheel electric motors coupled with lithium batteries stored in the floor of the vehicle. It’s front wheels are connected to separate independent swing arms that allow the Aebulle to glide around corners. The body is made up of an aluminum frame and the "windshield" is made up of aluminum oxynitride glass. The whole top of the three-wheeler lifts up, taking with it the center console and allowing the passenger to make his exit. Hit the jump to watch a short video portraying the nooks and crannies of this unique transportation device. 34 comments: Hyundai Aebulle Concept It really looks like a cocoon and I’m impressed with it. It is so unique but I’m confused with the wheels thought it is still can catch the attention of anyone.
 It is a personal vehicle, so I think this only fits for one person. As we notice on the image, it looks like a cocoon. I definitely prefer this if ever. It will grab anybody’s’ attention.
 Maybe a two-seater will be in the conceptualization process. Who cares? I would prefer driving my own car.
 How would you fit inside? Does it have any specifications? What about others who would like to take their wife on a trip?
 I’m dreaming that this one will be feature in movies. So that we can imagine how it worked and if its really worth buying it.
 Oh yes! I really want to see a bubble version of this car for I find the detailing good! BTW, While looking this car it reminded me of the ConnectedDrive Concept of Hyundai.
 Electric are very fuel efficient and it really helps to the fuel crisis of our country. However, with its strange look I think everyone will be awkward to use that one. I prefer bubble cars compare to this one!
 A cocoon type vehicle in the future! Looks weird but I love how it was being conceptualized. I can image tons of cocoons motors running on the street.
 im speechless, the design is so cool I cant find any word to describe it. Was this a car or what? Really, really cool, I think im drooling. I just hope it can offer a better performance
