I had the opportunity to 3D model an electric bicycle tailored for Search and Rescue operations in wilderness environments, addressing challenges associated with the size and time limitations of conventional vehicles such as trucks and helicopters. In contrast to the slower pace of on-foot searches, our e-bike facilitates quicker navigation through narrow trails, enhancing the efficiency of rescue missions.
