Striking Geneva 2011 EV concept, known as 'BamBoo', "pushes the reset button" on design

Rinspeed has revealed its quirky BamBoo concept, which will make its debut at the 2011 Geneva motor show.

The open top layout of the BamBoo "awakens the longing for sun, summer, for lightness and easiness," the company claims.

Powertrain details are limited, but the company has said it will combine an electric motor for the vehicle plus an onboard, foldable two-wheeler "for the last mile" of the journey.
